A refractive life stands on 3 pillars:
Soul
The map to your most fulfilling, passionate life is already a part of you. The Refractive Coaching system holds your hand and shines a light onto your highest wisdom, and offers tactics and guidance to live an authentic, deeply resonant life.
Truth: You already know; you already are.
Salary
As a child you knew exactly what you wanted to do. As adults, practical needs and societal pressures tell us that career and joy rarely coincide. From interview prep to top-notch resumes, whether switching titles or industries, our career services lift the fog and support your passion.
Truth: If it’s not a yes, it’s a no.
Society
Clarity on values and boundaries enables the release of what no longer serves you and frees you to show up fully for the family, friends, and romance that make life so rich. Our tools bring your connections, priorities, and boundaries into focus so you can give freely AND hold your space.
Truth: You can’t give what you don’t have.

Who you choose matters. Meet Johnny.
Johnny Guidry is a speaker, podcaster, and coach focused on helping others embrace their most authentic calling. His career progression includes 16 years of learning design, public speaking, human resources leadership, project management, and operations.
Johnny’s current path of development has been a decade-long process facilitated by transforming roadblocks into opportunities. In 2014 his life devolved from a jet-setting executive to sleeping on a mattress on his mother’s living room floor. Unemployable, morbidly obese, socially isolated, hopelessly in debt, deeply depressed, and on 6 prescriptions and a CPAP machine, he felt destined to fade into darkness.
Slowly, through a journey of self-honesty, willingness to face his pain, and the power of optimism, light re-entered Johnny’s life. In 2019, after a series of breakthroughs, he trained as a personal coach at the Co-Active Training Institute and launched both Refractive Coaching and Refractive Podcast to spread hope and empower others.
Today Johnny is sober over 15 years, has lost 220 lbs, recovered emotional, physical, and financial health, and most importantly has learned to embrace authenticity and inner wisdom. In 2020 he embraced a nomadic life and spent over 2 years building connections of service and spirituality across the US and Europe. Today Johnny resides in Washington, DC and lives his best life by helping others do the same.
