Coaching for Life After Incarceration
Reentry and mindset coaching for people rebuilding their lives after incarceration
1:1 mindset coaching for people rebuilding after incarceration, built by someone who's lived it. Free 30-minute consultation to start.
You've Handled the Logistics. This Is the Part Nobody Else Addresses.
Housing, employment, and documents matter, and real help exists for that. What most programs don't touch is the belief system that got shaped during incarceration, and doesn't update itself just because your address did.
That gap is why people can do everything "right" after release, the job, the apartment, the clean record, and still feel like they're waiting for it to fall apart. This coaching exists for that specific gap.

I'm Traveas Claypool. In 2009, sitting in a cell, one belief changed everything, not my circumstances. That shift is what this coaching is built around: the Shifting Your Mindset Coaching Program, a comprehensive 1:1 engagement with weekly sessions, guided reflection, and personalized accountability, built on the same framework I used to rebuild my own life after incarceration. I'm a certified John Maxwell coach, and Traveas Consulting exists because of that decision.
The program typically runs 3 to 6 months depending on your goals and pace, with weekly video sessions structured around your specific circumstances, not a generic curriculum.
How the Program Works
Free 30-minute consultation.
No pressure, no commitment, just an honest conversation about where you are and whether this is the right fit.
A personalized starting point.
Instead of a fixed curriculum, we start with what's actually running underneath your current situation, the specific beliefs shaping your decisions right now.
Weekly 1:1 sessions.
Consistent, structured work applying the Belief → Thought → Behavior → Outcome framework to your real, current circumstances, not abstract theory.
Ongoing accountability.
Change that holds requires more than a single breakthrough. Sessions build on each other, tracking what's shifting and what still needs attention.
What Changes When the Belief Work Actually Happens
Logistics support can get you a job. It can't guarantee you keep it once the belief underneath job security kicks back in. This is the layer where that actually gets addressed:
Sustained follow-through on decisions you've already made, instead of quietly sabotaging progress once things start going well. A working relationship with setbacks, so one bad week stops feeling like proof the whole effort was pointless. Language and self-talk that stop reinforcing the old identity, replaced by decisions built on who you're actually becoming. None of this happens by accident, and none of it happens through logistics support alone. It happens through the same deliberate belief work this program is built around.
For Family Members
You know the practical checklist. What's harder to see is what they actually believe about themselves right now, not what they tell you to keep you from worrying.
This coaching works with the individual directly; family involvement is part of the conversation when it helps. The free consultation is a low-pressure way to find out together.
Is This Program Right for You
✔️
Who This Program Is For
This is built for people who are ready to do real, consistent work, not looking for a quick motivational fix. It's for people rebuilding after incarceration, addiction, or a major setback, who've already handled or are handling the practical logistics, and who sense that something underneath still hasn't shifted.
🚫
Who This Program Isn't For
It's probably not the right fit if you're looking for crisis intervention, active clinical treatment for a diagnosed condition, or case management for housing and benefits; those needs are real and worth pursuing through the right resources, just not this one. The free consultation is the fastest way to find out honestly which category you're in.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why pay for this when free reentry programs exist?
Free programs do essential work and are worth pursuing regardless. What they're often not built for is sustained, individualized attention, since caseloads run high. This is paid because it's built around you specifically, with direct weekly access, and the free consultation means you're never paying blind.
Can I do this program if I have a criminal record or difficult past?
Absolutely. Traveas Consulting was built specifically for people rebuilding after difficult circumstances, including incarceration, addiction, and major life setbacks. The founder lived this exact experience. There is no judgment here, only structure and accountability for the transformation you are ready to build.
How is this different from case management or therapy?
Case management handles logistics. Therapy processes the past and clinical needs. This coaching focuses on the belief system underneath your circumstances, building forward. If something clinical is at play, a licensed therapist alongside or instead of coaching may be the right call, worth discussing honestly in the consultation.
Is this only for people recently released?
No. Often the belief work matters most years later, once the initial practical crisis has settled.
How much does this cost?
The Shifting Your Mindset Coaching Program is $10,000 for the full 1:1 engagement. If you are looking for a lower-commitment starting point first, the self-paced Master Your Mindset course is $500. Either way, it starts with a free 30-minute consultation, so nothing is decided before you know what is actually involved.

The consultation is free, and it's a conversation, not a commitment.
