Meet Cree Cole
Cree Cole is a Certified LYF Coach, entrepreneur, author, podcast host, and the visionary founder of LYF According 2 Cree, a lifestyle and empowerment brand rooted in one core belief: Love Yourself First. What began as a personal journey has grown into a multi-platform movement that encourages women to embrace authenticity, build unshakable confidence, and create a life that aligns with their truth, not just their circumstances.
In 2018, at the age of 37, Cree reached a defining turning point. Single, heartbroken, and searching for something deeper, she realized that years of self-doubt, overgiving, and unhealed wounds had kept her from fully living. Instead of staying in that space, she made a decision that would change everything. She chose herself. Through faith, reflection, and intentional growth, she began rebuilding her life from the inside out, believing that her best days were not behind her, but still ahead.
That decision became the foundation for her life’s work. As she healed, Cree recognized how many women were navigating the same silent battles: showing up for everyone else while feeling disconnected from themselves. By sharing her story openly and without filters, she created a space where honesty, self-care, and growth could exist without apology. That space evolved into LYF According 2 Cree, a brand that now reaches women through content, conversation, and community.
Cree’s ability to guide and mentor others began long before the brand. In 2010, she coached high school basketball, where she learned that true leadership is not about perfection, it is about resilience, accountability, and the courage to keep showing up. Those lessons became the blueprint for how she teaches, leads, and connects today.
Since 2020, Cree has expanded LYF into a fully integrated platform. Her work includes lyfaccording2cree.com, the LYF Works interactive journal collection, the LYF Kids Series available on Amazon, and her growing digital presence across YouTube and social platforms. In 2026, she relaunched LYF According 2 Cree: The Podcast, creating a space for real, relatable conversations about life, relationships, truth, and personal growth, all delivered in her signature “homegirl with wisdom and receipts” voice.
She is also the host and co-creator of the annual Galentine’s R&B Brunch, a signature experience that brings women together for connection, celebration, and empowerment. Through events, challenges like Empower365 and LYF Check, and her expanding content ecosystem, Cree continues to create intentional spaces where women can do the work of becoming who they truly are.
In 2023, Cree earned her certification through the International Association of Professions Career College (IAPCC), further strengthening her ability to coach and support others in mindset development, emotional wellness, and personal transformation. Her coaching is rooted in real-life experience, practical tools, and the belief that healing and growth are ongoing, not one-time decisions.
Today, Cree continues to live and lead with purpose. Whether through her books, podcast, coaching, or live experiences, her mission remains clear: to help people stop shrinking, start choosing themselves, and build lives that feel as good as they look.
Her message is simple and consistent:
Your story matters. Your healing is possible. Your power is real.
And through everything she creates, Cree Cole is committed to helping others rise, grow, and live LYF according to their truth.
