Is this you?

You’re a high achiever. Probably an eldest daughter. You’re used to doing everything on your own!

You’re more than one thing. You’re a sister, a friend, maybe a mom. You’re managing a team or running your own business, and you probably have a really demanding job. You probably wake up early to work out, and you’re a dog mom (or a cat mom, or both). Everyone relies on you, and you have no one to rely on.

You have a very full life! No one’s saying you don’t. But there’s still something missing.

You just want to exhale.

You’re extremely sharp. You know what everyone needs, usually before they do, and you usually just do it for them. But you want someone to have your back for once.

But here’s what I know for sure: you’re tired. You thought certain things would make you happy, and they haven’t. Maybe you still have dreams! Even those feel muted now, because you’re exhausted.

You did everything you were supposed to do!

You’re tired in a way sleep doesn’t fix. You think about everything, all the time. Your body might even be waving a little flag at you, because that much pressure has to go somewhere. (I know this one personally. I put so much pressure on myself that my body started keeping score.)

And quietly, you’re curious about the woo. Astrology, intuition, listening to your body. You just haven’t felt like you’re allowed to take it seriously.

I see you. I work with women like you every day.

THE QUIET THING, OUT LOUD

I’m going to say it: life as a woman in corporate is different than it is for a man. The expectations are different. A lot of us did exactly what work wanted from us, and lost bits and pieces of ourselves in the process.

Here’s the good news. Those pieces aren’t gone! They’ve just been re-patterned and reconditioned. We can find them again.

Here’s what I can help with

We work on creating a life you really love, where you feel good most of the time.

I can’t wave a magic wand and say everything is going to be good for you forever. That’s just not possible! But we can change your nervous system’s set point, so the good feels even better and the bad doesn’t feel as bad.

We stop striving so much and build lives that feel good, alive, aligned (but in a genuine way, not the way some bullshit coach on TikTok tells you!)

How we work together

I’m a mindset coach and an astrologer, and I use both.

The women I work with are smart. Really smart. Which usually means they’re overthinkers! So we look at your thoughts together and get honest about which ones are helping you and which ones are running the show for no good reason.

Then we bring in your natal chart, which I use as a map back to who you actually are. Sometimes it confirms something you’ve always sensed. Sometimes it shows you something brand new. I grew up being told I was too emotional. Then I found out I’m a Pisces moon, and that so-called flaw turned out to be my superpower. It’s where my intuition comes from, and my instincts, and my ability to really connect with people. Your chart is full of things like that.

We also slow down a lot. Deep listening, working through the discomfort so change actually sticks, checking in with what your body is telling you. Mostly I’m creating space for the truth to come out, because a lot of what we want, we’ve been hiding from ourselves for a really long time.

Why it takes a few months

We work together for at least four months, and there’s a reason for that.

It took a lifetime to build these patterns. They live in your nervous system and your body, and your body will choose a familiar hell over an unfamiliar heaven every single time. That’s why even when we know better, we don’t always do better. Especially as high achievers!

Big sweeping changes usually don’t stick. So we go slowly, and your nervous system gets comfortable telling the truth. It takes practice, and you get better at it the more you do it.

What changes

My clients learn to say what they need. They set boundaries that actually hold. One went from 80-hour weeks to 32. Some have left marriages that weren’t good for them. One decided, after a whole career in the same kind of work, to go back to school and become a coach. A lot of them tell me they haven’t felt this much like themselves since they were kids, or ever, as an adult.

One client’s story

When she first got on a call with me, she was working 70 or 80 hours a week and she was really unhappy in her job. Work consumed her! She was scared that if she worked even a little less, something bad would happen.

So we went slowly. We got clear on her values and the life she wanted. And she started admitting things she’d been hiding from herself: she wanted more community, she wanted a life outside of work, she wanted to do something different. She’d been shying away from all of it because she was afraid she wouldn’t get it.

Once she decided she was allowed to explore other options, she was offered a new role within a week. (This has actually happened with two different clients!) She set boundaries that held, and nothing bad happened. It turned out she’d been overperforming the whole time. Now she has real friendships, a creative practice she loves, and she’s making big choices for her life based on what’s best for her.

Is this for you?

This work gets uncomfortable sometimes. We ask big questions and make real changes, and being that honest with yourself is new energy for most of us. It’s more important that you’re real and raw with yourself than with me.

I’m here to help, and it’s a partnership. You can only grow as far as you’re committed to your own change. So if you want to stay on the surface, I’m probably not your coach. If you’re ready to look underneath, I’d love to talk!

Every woman deserves to really love herself. Let’s find your missing pieces.
