Following the Energy: How Miranda Hawkins Guides Women Through Life’s Biggest Transitions
Miranda Hawkins
Every once in a while, you meet someone whose journey reminds you that listening to your intuition—and following what lights you up—can change everything. In this episode of Badass Women in Business, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Miranda Hawkins, a woman who’s redefined what it means to plan for the future and navigate life’s transitions.
From leading an all-female law firm specializing in estate planning to launching a coaching practice for women professionals in transition, Miranda’s story is one of growth, resilience, and, as she so beautifully puts it, “following the positive energy.”
Life’s Big Plans Start with Peace of Mind
As an estate planning attorney and the President & Owner of Hawkins Gordon, Miranda helps families prepare for life’s inevitable transitions. She sees estate planning not as something reserved for the wealthy, but as an act of care and clarity for your loved ones.
Miranda’s calm and thoughtful approach turns what can feel like a daunting topic—wills, medical powers of attorney, even prenuptial agreements—into an opportunity for empowerment. “Planning for your future is about giving yourself and your family peace of mind,” she shares.
And on the often misunderstood topic of prenups? Miranda reframes them as tools of trust and transparency, saying, “It’s not adversarial. It’s about ensuring that both partners are protected and aligned.”
From Attorney to Transition Coach: A Journey of Growth
Miranda’s path to becoming a professional coach was deeply personal. After navigating her own season of challenge—divorce, single motherhood, and the pressures of leading a firm—she turned to a leadership coach for support. That experience was transformational.
“It was the best thing I ever did,” she tells us. Inspired by the clarity and growth she gained, Miranda made a bold decision to train as a Certified Professional Coach and share that same support with other women.
Her coaching practice, Miranda K. Hawkins Coaching LLC, is a safe space for women professionals navigating transitions—whether they’re launching businesses, shifting careers, or redefining balance in their personal lives.
Overcoming Fear, One Step at a Time
Fear is a familiar feeling for so many of us. Whether it’s imposter syndrome or the overwhelm of how am I going to do it all?, Miranda has been there—and she now coaches her clients through it.
Her tools are simple but powerful:
Challenge assumptions: “What evidence do you have that you’re not capable?”
Reframe fear: “What else could be happening here?”
Lean into what lights you up: “When something excites you, follow it—your world will expand to make space for it.”
It’s advice that feels both grounding and freeing, especially when Miranda admits that she’s still figuring some things out herself. “I’m a planner,” she says with a smile, “and stepping into the unknown with coaching has been hard. But it’s also been right.”
Creating Space for Women to Rise
Throughout her career, Miranda has been a champion for women—whether serving as President of the Colorado Women’s Bar Association, leading her law firm, or coaching clients through moments of transition. She understands the power of community, mentorship, and collaboration.
“As women, we often feel isolated—especially in male-dominated spaces,” Miranda shares. “Surrounding yourself with people who understand your journey makes all the difference.”
Her work, whether in law or coaching, is ultimately about partnership: creating space for women to find clarity, confidence, and their path forward.
The Takeaway: Follow the Positive Energy
Miranda’s story is a beautiful reminder to trust your gut, lean into what excites you, and ask for support when you need it. Life’s transitions—whether personal or professional—can feel overwhelming, but with the right mindset and the right people in your corner, they can also be opportunities for growth and transformation.
Her advice to women in business?
Ask for help—coaching, mentorship, or a trusted peer group can change everything.
Follow the positive energy—trust the excitement you feel, even when it feels risky.
