Hey there, passionate powerhouse ✨


I know you’re not here because you want more emails.

You’re here because you’re a passionate powerhouse—a badass who cares deeply, works hard, and wants to live your one precious life intentionally.

But something isn’t right in your career.

Maybe you’re...

  • Feeling trapped in a role that doesn’t fit
  • Dreaming of something more, but scared to go for it
  • Reeling from a layoff, reorg, or acquisition
  • Treading water or feeling pulled under by work
  • Navigating a life shift that’s changing how you show up

You’re a pro at achieving ambitious goals—but this one hits different. Because designing a fulfilling, sustainable career isn’t a project you can crush like you usually do.

You’ve gotta learn to do and be different.

I’ve got your back.

Not because I’m some guru on a pedestal here to reveal your one true passion-filled purpose (that also pays a $1M salary). If someone promises you that, run fast and far.

I’ve got your back because I’ve been exactly where you are:

  • The kid who dreaded answering, “what do you want to be when you grow up?”
  • The perfectionist student who unraveled at less than 100%
  • The 20-something Girl Boss™ with regular promotions (and a pit in her stomach)
  • The incognito musician whose talents were limited to company karaoke
  • The woman who chose paycheck over passion and purpose—and burned out hard

And I made it to the other side.

I’m living proof—along with 100+ passionate powerhouses I’ve coached—that feeling lost isn’t failure. It’s an opportunity to design something better:

A career you love ✨

Grace Fabian Career Coaching is the career I designed. And yes I love it, because I get to:

  • Spend my days doing work that lights me up
  • Help incredible people literally change their lives
  • Nerd out on stuff I find interesting and important
  • Make more than enough money to fund a beautiful life
  • Invest in my health, relationships, and creative passions outside of work

Now I want to hear from you!

If you had a magic wand, what would you wish for in your career?

More freedom? Less pressure? More creativity? Less bureaucracy?

Hit reply and let me know. I read and respond to every message with love.

Onward!
Grace

P.S. I use AI to proofread these emails, but the content is always me in all my human glory.

‘Tis the season when I fly from sunny LA to my brisk New York hometown, perform a song like O Holy Night with my dad at the Christmas Eve church service, listen to a sermon about Jesus’ birth, then head home with my family to enjoy babka, light the menorah (depending on the dates), and pick our Chinese food and movie for the following day. This all makes perfect sense to me. Yet, I often find myself explaining it to folks with cocked heads, trying to parse how someone named Grace could be a...

We’ve gotta notify your brain that it’s not only okay—but actually good—to put work...
