The real reason your career matters

Career coaching isn’t really about your career. Like, yeah, you may land your coveted Staff Software Engineer or Creative Director role at that sexy company that will make all the homies on LinkedIn smash that like button. But we’re actually here for you and your loved ones. To explain what I mean, I asked a few of my incredible clients to fill in the blank: “Since career coaching, I’ve been able to ______ in my non-work life.”Work can really engulf us. And it makes sense, so give yourself compassion if that’s where you’re at. Because work pays the bills. It’s a source of external validation. It can be our community when we’re clocking long days. And for many, it becomes tied to our identity and purpose. But here’s the good news: you’ve got way more power than you think. Just like my clients who started sprinkling everyday glimmers, finding more family fun time, and building their legacy—you too can shape work to fuel your life, not consume it. Curious about what this could look like in your life?The first step is a free 30-minute video call. We’ll unpack what you want, what’s in your way, and how to move forward.
This chat is all about exploring what’s best for you. No “pitch slap,” I promise. If it feels like a fit, we’ll book a follow-up to discuss working together. I can't wait to meet you. Onward! |

But real growth comes when you shine a light on how someone’s getting in their own way, and encourage them to take the spicier, better path forward. Do I have your permission to challenge you? (If not, feel free to...
“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....
It’s 2020. Sorry to make you go there—promise it’s just for a sec. After a particularly draining workday at my tech leadership job, I collapsed on the couch and yelled, “I’m trapped!” I wanted to believe that primal, childlike surge of emotion was because of quarantine. But I knew it ran deeper. I just didn’t know what it meant—yet. Today, folks share similar experiences with me during our exploration calls: “I feel trapped, stuck, and unmotivated in my career.” "I feel stuck in my current...
