Are you tired of hearing your chattering inner critic?
At This Purple Chair, Kathy Emeigh offers spiritual direction and thought-life coaching for people in the second half of life—those longing to quiet the noise, step out of overwhelm, and reconnect with who they truly are. Inspired by the quiet sanctuary of a literal purple chair, Kathy invites you to create your own space for reflection, healing, deep self-rediscovery, and freedom.
This isn’t about fixing yourself—because you’re not broken. It’s about finding a safe place to pause, breathe, and remember who you are.
Rediscover the true you. Reclaim peace, purpose, and freedom.
What We Offer
We specialize in guiding “fellow travelers” who are ready to be free from numbing behaviors—like over-working, over-spending, over-drinking, over-eating, over-worrying, etc.—and ready to reconnect with their uniquely, exquisitely, and elegantly designed self.
Utilizing TLC³ (Tender Loving Care, Compassion, and Curiosity), combined with Affective Liminal Psychology™ (ALP) and Spiritual Direction principles, Kathy companions your journey of self-recovery, clarity, transformation, and freedom.
Why This Work Matters
At This Purple Chair, we believe in YOU. Our TLC³ approach creates a space free of blame, shame, and guilt—only care, compassion, and curiosity. Here, transformation begins with tenderness and ends with freedom.
Return to Peace
Quiet the inner critic and find clarity in the calm.
Reveal What’s Holding You Back
Identify thoughts, behaviors, and substances that steal your freedom.
Rekindle Purpose
Reclaim a vibrant, abundant life—and become an encouragement to others.

Meet Kathy
I’m Kathy Emeigh, founder of This Purple Chair. After my own journey through numbing behaviors, particularly alcohol, I found freedom—and I want to help you do the same. I companion women in the second half of life as they rediscover their inner wisdom, silence the critic, and live lives full of purpose and peace. My approach is always rooted in Tender Loving Care, Compassion, and Curiosity—because that’s what true transformation needs.
What is the Purple Chair?
More than a chair, it’s a threshold—a symbol of tuning out the world so you can tune in to your inner voice. It’s the space between what was and what could be.
Whether it’s a quiet corner, a walk, a beach chair, or your favorite seat in the house, we all need a purple chair:
A space to reflect.
A space to listen.
A space to come home to ourselves.
This Purple Chair is here to help you create that space—inside and out.

“If you are longing for an opportunity to shift beyond the suppression of your pain or the isolation of your attachments, you will want to explore this journey with Kathy Emeigh. It is my experience that once in a great while, someone comes into my life and offers to travel with me in a new and expansive way. Her wisdom, training, and understanding opened my heart, mind, and spirit to a previously unknown way of being with myself. And she so beautifully holds this space with curiosity, care, and compassion. Amazing!“
