Every new beginning starts with a moment of reconnection.

In July 2021, Ben and Hilari were reintroduced through a mutual friend. Years earlier, they had worked in the same field at the same Air Force base, but life had taken them in different directions. When they reconnected, it felt like two old friends picking up right where they left off—sharing stories, laughing, and realizing how aligned their values, experiences, and dreams truly were.

Their connection grew quickly. What began as a friendship turned into love, and before long, they married—merging not just their lives, but their families. Together, they blended multiple children, creating a new and loving family rooted in support, communication, and growth. They chose Fort Worth, Texas as their home, where they built a foundation for both their personal life and their shared mission.

Out of that journey, Empowering Transitions Life Coaching was born—not just as a business, but as an extension of who they are. It’s a reflection of their belief that life’s transitions, while sometimes challenging, are opportunities for growth, healing, and transformation.

With a combined background in military service, leadership, professional development, and personal coaching, Ben and Hilari bring both strength and compassion to their work. They understand the complexities of change—because they’ve lived it. And now, they’re dedicated to helping others do the same: navigate challenges, rediscover purpose, and reach their full potential.

Their story is one of second chances, blended lives, and a shared purpose. And now, they’re here to help you write your own.
