About
Founder of Chaos to Clarity Trenchwork Coaching
From the Trenches to Transformation
My name is Edmund Merchant — and I know what it’s like to feel stuck, lost, and defeated. I’ve battled addiction. I’ve faced homelessness. I’ve lived through a childhood that nearly broke me. But by the grace of God and the strength I found through faith, I’ve turned it all around.
Today, I’m a proud stepfather of three, a man of God, and the founder of three businesses I built from the ground up. I’ve made it my mission to help others do the same — to dig deep, get real, and rise out of the chaos toward lasting clarity and purpose.
Why I Coach
I believe we were never meant to fight our battles alone.
My coaching isn’t about fluff, hacks, or temporary motivation. It’s about trenchwork — the real, raw, spiritual and practical work required to break through self-doubt, shame, and stagnation. I’m here to guide you into clarity, power, and purpose — the kind that aligns with who you truly are and what you’re called to do.
What Makes This Coaching Different
Most programs tell you to “do less” or “just manage your time better.”
But you don’t need more advice. You need a system that actually works.
Faith-Based, Purpose-Driven
Every session is rooted in spiritual alignment, compassion, and honest growth.
Real-World Experience
I’ve lived the pain. I’ve done the work. Now I walk beside others who are ready to do the same.
Practical + Transformational
I blend mindset shifts with real strategy — so you’re not just inspired, but equipped to take action.
