I tell everyone, I have lived a million lives in this one life. Although in my opinion, that is the best way to be. Try everything and see what sticks. Why limit yourself? It can be scary starting over and reinventing yourself in a new career, city, friend group, etc., although staying stuck and unhappy is even scarier.

You’re doing everything right: tailoring your resume, writing cover letters, prepping for interviews and still… crickets. Or worse: rejection after rounds of interviews, no explanation, or shady rescinded offers that leave you questioning everything. If the job search is taking a toll on your confidence, your identity, or your faith in people, I see you. I've been there. I’ve had offers fall through with no accountability. I’ve been ghosted after final interviews. I’ve been told I was “the perfect fit,” only to be passed over without a word. But I’ve also learned how to pivot, protect my peace, and keep showing up with clarity, conviction, and creativity.

There was a time in my life when everything felt paused. I was between jobs, unsure of my next step, watching others move forward while I sat still. People would say, “Something will come along,” but the waiting felt like slow erosion. My self-worth was tied to progress, and without it, I felt small. I learned how to sit with the discomfort, how to extract meaning from stillness, and how to build a life that didn’t depend on a clear next chapter. I began to ask myself deeper questions about purpose, identity, and what truly mattered.

My Story: There were long stretches when I didn’t have a job. The silence from applications was deafening. I felt like I was falling behind, especially when friends were getting promotions or buying homes. I tied my worth to my output—and when there was no output, I felt invisible. Eventually, I started asking myself: Who am I without the title? It was painful but liberating. I started separating my identity from productivity. Now, I hold space for others walking through that same fog.

Leaving graduate school early, job loss, poor fits - all traumas I've had to navigate through. Whatever nebulous point represented my dream career now has a circuitous route to get there. Add to that the mental toll that professional, financial, and social shifts take on our well-being, especially when we don't learn "corporate speak" in school! I'd love to share ways that I've handled these setbacks - such as becoming a content creator - as well as practical ideas for job seeking. As important as our careers are, they don't represent our entire identity.

I spent nine tough years in corporate, fighting my way through office politics, chasing promotions, putting in all the hard work—only to learn that visibility matters more than effort. I got lost in bureaucracy, had to manage impossible bosses, and burned out far too often. Then I jumped into a startup world filled with freedom and ownership—yes, I had way more impact, but I also got flattened by constant uncertainty and a total lack of structure. If you’re stuck in either space—feeling drained by faceless corporate walls or disoriented by startup chaos—trust me, I’ve been there. Those two worlds demand different strategies for your time, energy, and results. That’s why I'm here: to help you navigate both with clarity, intention, and the grit you need to thrive.

For the ones clocking in every day but questioning if this is really the life you want. When work feels unfulfilling, when promotions and growth never come, or when the only thing keeping you in your job is the pension you’ll collect someday—it’s hard not to wonder if you’re wasting your time. You see other people doing work that excites them, living lives they actually enjoy, and you can’t help but ask: Why not me? Do you ever feel like you’re being held back, but you don’t know where to go from here? Maybe you’re curious about entrepreneurship but don’t know where to start. Maybe you’re weighing financial stability against happiness. Or maybe you just need space to say out loud what you’ve been afraid to admit: this isn’t fulfilling anymore. I’ve been there—questioning purpose, stuck in jobs that drained me, and rebuilding from scratch. Now I help people create realities out of the ideas they once thought were too crazy to chase. You don’t have to figure out your next move alone.

For the ones carrying the unspoken weight of being “the first” or “the only” on their team. When you’re the one who stands out because of your identity, suddenly everything you do gets magnified. Your cultural expressions get misread as negative, you’re held to tighter deadlines, or more work lands on your plate than on your peers’. And when you try to speak up, leadership dismisses your concerns as “too sensitive.” Do you ever feel like you’re constantly proving yourself while being treated differently anyway? That no matter how much you give, it’s never seen the same way as others on your team? If you’re exhausted from navigating a workplace that feels more toxic than inclusive, let’s talk. I know how it feels to be labeled instead of listened to. Here, you don’t have to shrink, code-switch, or over-explain—you get to be fully seen and heard.

As someone who's made multiple big career shifts, I know firsthand how scary it is. I've gone from the military, to massage therapy, to "Big Tech", now entrepreneurship, and tons of odd jobs in between. Through my journey, I've read countless books, gotten therapy and coaching, and taken the scary actions so that I can now help you with your career journey. I personally believe that the way we spend the majority of our waking life matters. If you're disinterested, bored, morally conflicted, burnt-out, under-paid, or under-utilized; you can reinvent your career and your life.

Losing a job is profoundly disorienting. My job was more than a source of income and daily routine; it was my life, it defined me, was how I introduced myself. It was my social network, my family. I felt lost, confused and somehow like a really bad person. I discovered I had been in burnout mode and didn't know it. It felt catastrophic. I was in a fog....and the good news is you can wake up from that fog and take action. Like you are doing now: seeking help! There are strategies for coping with and overcoming these challenges. Reestablish routine, identify and organize your priorities. Taking time for self-assessment and self care gives you strength to manage yourself, making you a more attractive interviewee or entrepreneur. There's work to do to recreate yourself. That's what happened to me. I entered a career I'd never dreamed of, in an environment that draws on my intuition. Self-respect and confidence came quickly. This can happen to you. Let's explore it together

I’ve spent much of my adult life in pursuit of a creative career — primarily as an actor — but that journey has often required side paths, pivots, and full-on reinventions to make ends meet or rediscover momentum. Along the way, I’ve tried everything from retail and logistics to graphic design, real estate, web development, and even full-time programming after completing a coding bootcamp. Some of these paths stuck longer than others. Some didn’t go the distance. But each one taught me something about resourcefulness, resilience, and what it means to choose a life on your own terms. At the heart of each shift was the desire to support myself in ways that felt aligned — to earn a living without selling out the core of who I was. That wasn’t always easy. Learning new skills as an adult — especially under financial pressure — takes grit. And while I often carry a deep belief in my ability to learn and adapt, that doesn’t mean the fear of making a wrong move wasn’t real. What’s helped me most is learning to tune into my gut: regularly checking in and asking if where I’m headed still feels like home to me. I’ve come to see that the only real mistake is staying stuck in something that no longer reflects who you are, just because it once did. Perhaps the biggest lesson has come from my forays into real estate investing and entrepreneurship — ventures that reshaped how I relate to money, risk, and possibility. They helped me shed a scarcity mindset and embrace one of potential. I’ve learned not to regret the things that didn’t pan out. Every attempt taught me how to pivot with love instead of fear. And even when circumstances forced my hand, like when a lucrative startup job collapsed beneath me, I found ways to turn disruption into opportunity. Whether or not I always “succeed” in the way I imagined, I’m proud to keep choosing a life that reflects who I am. That’s the kind of success I now measure by.

As a first-generation college student and first-generation corporate worker, I had to figure everything out on my own, from applying to schools and building a resume to opening a 401(k), choosing an HSA, and learning how to navigate the world of corporate benefits and workplace etiquette. Watching my parents hustle through the 2008 recession taught me early on that I deeply value stability—and for me, that has come from a 9-to-5 job. That stability has allowed me to take control of my finances and start building the kind of security I’ve envisioned for years. Now, at 26, I’m often the youngest person and only woman in the room, especially in my male-dominated corner of tech. It hasn’t always been easy, but it’s pushed me to learn how to advocate for myself, make the most of every opportunity, and be proud of how far I’ve come. I’ve become the friend who loves to talk openly about jobs and money, and I’d love to help others just starting their own path (especially those going to college and trying to break into the 9-to-5 world with no roadmap!)

I’ve built my career outside the box—shaping a non-traditional path as both a freelancer and entrepreneur. After earning my degree, I worked as a service provider for 11+ years before diving headfirst into entrepreneurship. OOver the past 5+ years, I’ve worked as a CEO, freelancer, and entrepreneur. I’ve also explored 100+ side hustles—from flipping items for profit to being paid to travel and make content around the world. Along the way, I’ve launched multiple businesses, built a private coaching practice, grown a blog with 500k+ metrics, and stepped into publishing, public speaking, and soon, releasing my book It’s Time To Manifest Your Vision. My journey shows that you don’t have to follow a linear career path to create success—you can design a life that blends passion, freedom, and impact while thriving on your own terms. But finding those terms, and manifesting it, is where we'll start!

I have been working from home for over three years. Working from home can bring challenges. You must be able to manage your time and productivity while working from home. I can help you adjust from working in the office to working from home because working at home can bring its own challenges

If you're pursuing a career in education and struggling to identify where your skills would best be utilized while also protecting your peace, I can help! We'll dig into your strengths, pet peeves, and deal breakers. We'll work through fears and misconceptions, discuss opportunities, and find clarity, whether you're choosing a major or sorting through job offers. I remember when I graduated and had narrowed my offers down to two districts, but I had no one with experience to talk to! It felt like flipping a coin. I started my teaching career in high school, then moved to middle school, and finished at the elementary level. I've taught ELA / Reading & Writing as well as Math in my own classroom as well as supported all four core subjects in an inclusion setting for SPED/DHH students. I've shared a classroom with all sorts of teachers and teaching styles, and I've mentored student teachers along the way. I'd be happy to help you work through it, too.

As a teacher, I spent many hours 1:1 with students developing their transition plan and post-graduation goals, using interviews, quizzes, and surveys to identify the best college and career options for them. You can find interest surveys online, but if you still feel stuck on finding a path to your goals, I can help! When I was a teen, my interests were all over the place. I simultaneously wanted to study art, sign language, and psychology, but also loved physics and statistics and felt pressure to follow in my family's footsteps and become an engineer. We took interest quizzes and strengths finders in school (which I highly recommend and are a great start!), but it's not that simple, is it? I wish someone had sat down with me and looked at what these options looked like in the real world. Since leaving teaching, I've been an interpreter. This has allowed me to be a fly on the wall in all sorts of places, and hopefully, it will allow me to help you discover where you want to be.

Life has challenged me in many ways: navigating divorce, raising 2 children as a single parent, experiencing job loss, and facing burnout. There were times I felt overwhelmed and stuck, unsure how to move forward amid so much change. What helped me most were honest moments of being truly heard, developing steady wellness routines, and learning to be patient with myself through the process. My experience as a doctor and trained listener deepened my understanding of how powerful it is to simply show up with care and attention. Now, I want to offer that same steady, compassionate presence to anyone facing similar struggles. Whether it’s relationship changes, family transitions, career shifts, or the feeling of being stuck,- I’m here to listen, support, and help you find your way forward, one conversation at a time

I've been a high school teacher. I've founded and run a magazine. I've also spent years as a corporate leader. Now I'm a Realtor. Every time I've changed careers, it was scary, uncertain and exciting! I know what it's like to start from scratch when everyone thinks you should be settled. If you're thinking about making a big shift - by choice or necessity - I'm here to help you talk through it. No pressure, no judgement. Just honest conversation with someone who's done it more than once, and lived to tell the tale. You're never too old. And it's never too late. And you don't have to figure it out alone.

I grew up in a privileged family where maintaining the right relationships and meeting certain standards was the expectation if I wanted support. My marriage, lasting 12 years, ended amicably after lots of counseling. While we parted ways as friends, it wasn’t easy. It was during and after that marriage that I experienced a deep faith and spiritual crisis. Raised in a Christian environment, I found myself questioning everything I had believed, wrestling with the idea of faith in a world that often didn’t seem to care about the truth I had once relied on. But instead of running from the discomfort, I leaned into it, realizing that freedom and finding my own path were the ultimate goals. After years of reflection, it became clear that my journey was about embracing an open mind while seeking peace within myself. Since then, I’ve counseled friends through similar crises, helping them navigate difficult relationship dynamics or faith challenges. I’ve also been able to move forward into a more nomadic lifestyle, finding meaning in everyday moments and helping others along the way. It’s my hope to offer a compassionate ear and a thoughtful perspective to those who are struggling with where they are spiritually and emotionally, especially when it feels like everything is in question.

Have you ever wondered if the path you’re on is truly yours? I’ve been there. My journey has taken me through many jobs, each reflecting my passions at different stages of life. Some might call it “job hopping,” but I see it as growth and courage to follow what mattered to me in the moment. What I’ve learned is that passions change as we grow. What fulfilled us once may not bring the same meaning today, and that’s okay. It doesn’t mean we’ve failed, it means we’re evolving. I want to encourage you to give yourself permission to shift directions, to reconnect with what excites you, and to rediscover your sense of purpose. Whether it’s a career change, going back to school, or simply reigniting joy in your life, you don’t have to do it alone. ✨ You don’t need to have it all figured out, just the willingness to take the next step toward yourself.
