Guiding to Wellness and Motivation

Welcome! My name is R. Kip Rider, and I’m the founder of “Everyone Wants To Be A Lion”  life coaching practice—a space dedicated to helping others step into clarity, confidence, and purpose.

My professional background is rooted in medicine. I’ve served as a Physician Assistant since 1998, with formal training from the University of Florida, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Medicine and a Master’s in Physician Assistant Studies. My clinical training was at Shands Hospital and The University of Miami, Jackson Memorial Hospital. Long before my medical career began, my true calling had already taken root.

In 1982, I embarked on a personal development journey that began with a course called The Dynamics of Personal Leadership. That experience ignited a lifelong mission: “To be the light that helps others see”.

With over four decades of study and practice in both science, physics and self-mastery, I’ve come to understand human transformation through multiple lenses—spiritual, mental, physical, financial, family and socially. My unique blend of scientific knowledge and deep personal growth work enables me to meet clients where they are and guide them toward where they want to be.

I specialize in helping individuals who struggle with overthinking and addictive behaviors, offering tools and insight to break through cycles of frustration and unlock a higher version of themselves. Whether you’re navigating personal or professional challenges, I’m here to walk alongside you—to help you rediscover your strength, realign with your purpose, and build a life of clarity and fulfillment.

This work isn’t just what I do, It’s who I am, I’d be honored to help you move forward on your own path to growth and transformation.

Let’s begin the journey together.

Warmly,
R. Kip Rider
