ABOUT STEVE GAHLER

Renaissance was born out of my own transformation. After decades of chasing titles, outcomes, and the illusion of control, I hit a wall—and finally asked the questions I had been avoiding:

So what? Does any of this actually matter?

That moment cracked something open. What followed was the dismantling of everything I thought I was—and the beginning of something far more honest. As I stepped away from the old definitions of success, I began asking a different question:

Who am I, really?

I had built a life around what I did—chasing expectations, external rewards, and certainty. But beneath the performance was a truth I could no longer ignore. Once I saw it, I couldn’t go back.

That became the turning point. I realigned my life with clarity, presence, and truth—and everything changed.

Today, I’m a Soul Coach & Bridge for Awakening Professionals—and my work is devoted to guiding others through that same awakening.

I work with The 20%™—the estimated 1 in 5 professionals, leaders, and seekers awakening inside the system. The ones who may still be succeeding on the outside—but inside, are asking deeper questions: “So what?” “What’s the purpose of my life—and life itself?”

I created The Journey HŌṁe™ framework to guide people through the sacred space between what no longer fits and what’s waiting to emerge. It’s a path of spiritual realignment and conscious transformation—clarifying what matters, remembering who they are, and moving forward with grounded freedom.

With 25+ years in C-suite and senior executive roles across media, digital marketing, sports, banking, and tech, I bring a multidimensional perspective to my work as a Coach, Guide, and Consultant. My background integrates strategy, leadership, and deep human insight—bridging external growth and inner transformation.

I hold a Psychology degree from the University of Minnesota, an Executive Certification in Digital Media & Marketing Strategies from Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management, and a Professional Coach Certification from the ICF-accredited Coach Training Alliance.

I also invest in the study of all spiritual traditions, adult development, and consciousness work—grounding my practice in both depth and universality.

This foundation—blending psychology, executive experience, and spiritual growth—enables me to guide others and “bridge” the transformation with clarity, presence, and intention.

Freedom begins when we stop believing in limits. Transformation begins with one courageous step.

Let’s take that step together.
