Her Story
About Precious
Precious Clouthier is a Clarity & Performance Consultant, speaker, and 3x's author who has been doing this work for over a decade informally. Long before formally stepping into coaching and consulting, she was the person others naturally turned to for guidance, mediation, and practical advice.
With over a decade of experience in sales and professional development, she built a strong foundation in communication, leadership, and performance. Four years ago, she officially became a certified life coach and consultant, following a clear sense of calling to formalize work she had already been doing throughout her life—supporting others in gaining clarity, making decisions, and moving forward with purpose.
Early in her formal coaching journey, she began working primarily with women entrepreneurs—many of them mothers balancing business ownership, careers, and family responsibilities. Drawing from her own lived experience as a wife, a mother of twin boys, and a professional managing multiple responsibilities, she helped clients strengthen time management, reduce burnout, and build clarity around priorities and strategy.
Her approach focused on helping women operate more effectively without sacrificing their presence at home, creating sustainable systems that support both personal well-being and professional success. This work naturally expanded into schools and organizations through Precious G.E.M.S LLC, where she addresses similar challenges in different environments. In schools, she supports students who are struggling with clarity, purpose, and direction—factors that often show up in attendance, behavior, and academic performance.
In organizations, she helps leaders and teams address burnout, retention challenges, and misaligned priorities by strengthening clarity around roles, expectations, and execution. Across all her work, she takes a whole-person approach, focusing not only on professional performance but also on the personal clarity, mindset, and structure needed for sustainable success in every area of life.

Ten minutes with Precious
01What do you attribute your success to?
If I had to choose one achievement, I would say my greatest achievement is the impact of my work.
It is seeing individuals move from confusion to clarity, from overwhelm to structure, and from burnout to feeling hopeful and grounded again. Being able to support someone as they begin to see what is possible for their life, make intentional decisions, and take steps toward the future they once only dreamed about is what means the most to me.
My godfather has been instrumental in my journey. I met him when I was 15 years old during a very difficult season of my life. Both of my parents struggled with substance abuse, and my father was not consistently present. At that time, my godfather stepped in as a father figure and provided guidance, encouragement, and support when I needed it most.
He and his wife helped me navigate challenges, stay positive, and keep moving forward. They supported me in practical ways, like helping me with things I could not afford at the time, including preparing for prom while I was only 16, working, and paying my own bills. More than anything, they helped me feel seen, supported, and worthy.
They also helped strengthen my faith and taught me what it meant to walk by faith even when life was difficult. Almost 20 years later, my godfather is still a major part of my life. He often says, “The mentor has become the mentee,” because now I also mentor and encourage him. The dynamic has shifted in some ways, but his guidance and presence still mean so much to me.
He was also the person who helped me begin my entrepreneurial journey when I first started in sales.
My mother’s influence also shaped me deeply. Although she struggled with substance abuse and has now been clean for over 18 years, she instilled discipline, resilience, and the importance of showing up. Even when life was unstable, I can still hear her voice reminding me to get up, go to school, and make something of myself.
Those life experiences taught me that my past does not determine my future. No matter what I have been through, I have always carried the belief that I could keep going, keep growing, and become who God called me to be.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
If a young woman came to me for advice about entering the coaching industry, the first thing I would want to understand why coaching matters to her, who she feels called to help, and what impact she wants to make. Many people are naturally gifted at giving advice or being the person others turn to, but coaching requires more than that. It requires clarity, structure, responsibility, and a genuine desire to help people move forward.
I would encourage her to start by writing down her vision. Who does she want to serve? What problem does she want to help solve? What life experiences, skills, or strengths has she developed that can support others?
Once she understands her why, then she can begin taking practical steps: getting trained, learning how to ask better questions, developing her coaching style, identifying her audience, and building a clear offer.
My advice would be: do not just jump in because people say you are good at helping others. Take the time to get clear, prepare yourself, and build with intention. When you understand your purpose and combine it with the right tools, you can serve people with greater confidence, integrity, and impact.

Why Clarity Changes Everything: The Hidden Reason So Many Women Feel Burned Out
How Clarity Transforms Burnout Into Intentional Living
For a long time, I believed burnout only came from doing too much.
But over the years, through both my personal journey and the work I do with women, entrepreneurs, students, and organizations, I realized something important:
Many people are not burned out simply because they are busy.
They are burned out because they are carrying too much without clarity.
They are overwhelmed by responsibilities, expectations, pressure, and decisions, yet they have never slowed down long enough to ask themselves:
What do I actually want?
What matters most right now?
What needs my attention, and what no longer does?
As a Clarity & Performance Consultant, these are conversations I have often.
I work with women who are highly capable, ambitious, and hardworking, yet internally feel disconnected from themselves. From the outside, many of them appear successful. They are managing businesses, careers, leadership roles, motherhood, relationships, and daily responsibilities.
But internally, they feel exhausted trying to keep up with everything while losing themselves in the process.
What I have learned is this:
Clarity changes everything.
When someone gains clarity, their decision-making improves.
Their confidence improves.
Their time management improves.
Their boundaries improve.
Even the way they lead and communicate begins to shift.
Without clarity, people often spend years operating in survival mode. They say yes to too many things, overextend themselves, procrastinate on important decisions, and struggle to focus because, mentally, they are carrying too much at once.
I understand this personally.
My life growing up was not easy. Both of my parents struggled with substance abuse, and by the age of 16, I was working and helping support myself while trying to navigate life as best I could.
During those years, I learned what it felt like to carry responsibility at a very young age.
At the same time, I also learned the importance of resilience, discipline, and faith.
I remember constantly telling myself that my past would not determine my future. Even when life felt unstable, I knew I wanted more for myself and for the future I would eventually build for my family.
Years later, as a wife, mother of twin boys, entrepreneur, speaker, author, and consultant, I now understand that clarity is not just about goals. It is about alignment.
It is about understanding who you are, what season you are in, what truly matters, and how to move intentionally instead of emotionally reacting to everything around you.
One of the biggest misconceptions about high-achieving women is that because they are functioning, they are fine.
But functioning and thriving are not the same thing.
Many women have become so used to surviving that they no longer recognize when they are mentally exhausted, emotionally disconnected, or operating without direction. They continue showing up for everyone else while neglecting themselves in the process.
That is why the work of clarity matters so deeply to me.
Whether I am working with an entrepreneur trying to organize her vision, a student struggling with direction, or an organization dealing with burnout and leadership challenges, the root issue is often similar:
Too much responsibility without enough clarity, structure, or intentionality.
Clarity allows people to prioritize better.
It helps them stop carrying things they were never meant to carry.
It gives them permission to slow down, reassess, and move with purpose instead of pressure.
Most importantly, clarity helps people reconnect with themselves.
In a world where many people feel pressured to constantly produce, perform, and prove themselves, I believe clarity is one of the most powerful gifts we can give ourselves.
Because when people become clear about who they are, what they value, and where they are going, they stop living in constant survival mode and start making intentional decisions that support both their well-being and their growth.
And sometimes, that shift changes everything.
