“Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.”

Are you nodding? Or is your BS-o-Meter blaring?

Honestly, I’m somewhere in the middle. Like most oversimplified quotes dubiously attributed to Confucius, the truth is in the nuance.

This has been the mission of my coaching practice since the beginning:

Design a career you love ✨

And because my worst fear is sounding like a snake oil salesperson, I spend a lot of time unpacking what “love” actually means in the context of work.

Because doing work you love doesn’t guarantee fair pay, or shield you from mundane-to-excruciating tasks. Because loving (and overly identifying with) your work can fast-track burnout. Because the hope that your perfectionism and people-pleasing will magically disappear once you find “work you love” is a mirage.

And perhaps most importantly: because the concept of “love” puts the burden on you, instead of questioning the systems that make work so soul-sucking in the first place.

A career you love is one you intentionally choose ✨

The most valuable thing folks get from career coaching is agency within these messy systems.

Yes, my clients land dream jobs, start businesses, and pivot to better roles.

Yes, my clients carve out more time and energy for health, relationships, and passion projects.

But the biggest win is understanding themselves more deeply—their desires, needs, and Achilles’ heels—and unpacking not just the systems, but their relationships to them. So they can move forward with clarity and power. Not just in this next step, but for the rest of their career.
