Finding meaning in the work you do when asking, "What’s all this for?"

Andrea B.

I’ve had roles that looked great on paper with titles, recognition, and fast growth, but they still left me feeling disconnected, unfulfilled, or like something was missing. I’ve changed careers four times in search of clarity, each shift fueled by that quiet inner nudge that said, “This isn’t it.” Through each pivot, I wasn’t chasing status. I was chasing meaning. I wanted to feel aligned, competent, and like my work mattered. What I’ve learned is that purpose doesn’t show up all at once. Instead, it’s built, uncovered, and revealed through small moments of truth, courage, and awareness. If you’re in a role that feels misaligned, or you’re asking, “What am I doing all this for?”, you’re not alone. I help people reconnect with what matters, redefine success, and find clarity when the spark fades. You don’t have to start over to feel purposeful, but you do have to start listening.

Using creativity to process grief and trauma

Danielle H.

Grief and trauma have shaped much of my adult life, and for a long time, I didn’t know how to live with the weight of them. Therapy helped me understand the deeper roots of my pain, but I still needed a way to express what I couldn’t say out loud. That’s when I turned to art. At first, it was just something to do with my hands when my mind felt too loud. But over time, it became a way to calm my nervous system, explore old wounds safely, and begin healing on my own terms. Now, I use creative expression (painting, writing, collaging) as a way to help others access their emotions and gently move through them. I've seen how powerful it can be for people to make something out of their pain, to step back and see it from a new angle. It doesn’t have to be “good art”, it just has to be honest. Creativity helped me find clarity, regulation, and even joy again. I’d love to support you in discovering what it can do for you.

Navigating the emotional toll of parenting a struggling teenager

Lauren C.

I became a mom through adoption and raised my son as a single parent from the very beginning. He had some health issues as a child, and as he entered his teen years, things got really hard. We were stuck in an exhausting power struggle, and I felt completely overwhelmed. I doubted myself constantly and couldn’t see a clear path forward. I didn’t have much support, so I had to go find it—therapists, parent DBT classes, anything that could help me make sense of what was happening. I also lived with depression for much of my life, and that made everything heavier. But with time, I found resources that made a real difference, especially ones that focused on my well-being, not just fixing my child. I learned that naming what I was feeling was powerful, and that acknowledging my own experience mattered just as much as trying to support his. I’m not here to fix your situation, but I can offer a space where you won’t feel judged. You don’t have to be “perfect” to be a good parent. I can walk alongside you while you figure out your next step.

Recovering from a painful breakup and finding your worth

Mia C.

I was in a relationship where things took a dark turn after discovering an email my partner had left open. That moment led to a confrontation that spiraled into emotional abuse, and I knew I had to walk away for my safety and sanity. Leaving wasn’t easy—it was painful, destabilizing, and shook my self-image. But deep down, I held onto a sense of self-worth, even when everything around me felt like it was falling apart. The breakup was one of the hardest experiences of my life. It took time to rebuild, to sit with my grief, and to reconnect with the parts of me that had been dulled or buried in that relationship. I realized that healing isn’t linear and that rediscovering your self-worth is a powerful, ongoing process. Now, I help others see their own light during similar transitions. I’ve learned that holding space—without judgment—can help people find the clarity they need. You don’t have to go through heartbreak alone, and I’d be honored to walk with you through the early stages of healing.

Self-awareness & getting to know yourself

Nina D.

As an artist, much of my life can feel like reinvention and rebirth, but at the center of all my iterations are a set of core values that is unshakeable and provides a thread through all of my stories, projects, aesthetic changes, relationships, and interests. It's been invaluable to feel grounded by my beliefs, even as goals shift. I'd love the opportunity to help you define those for yourself; to give you a sense of unshakable structure that you can use for all kinds of decisions: Does this new romantic partner share my values? Does this potential new gig line up with what I want to support? Does buying this new outfit/gadget/decoration reflect my innermost desires? Let's chat and find what anchors you to be able to make each move with confidence.

Turning sobriety into a superpower after a life in sports and partying

Ricki C.

I started drinking when I was 14, the same night I scored the winning goal for my varsity hockey team. That moment taught me something I didn’t even realize until years later: that alcohol could buy me social currency, confidence, and belonging. I carried that belief through Division 1 athletics, parties, drugs, and eventually into a professional career. When I retired from hockey, I lost my identity and started drinking and using even more to fill that hole and hide my social anxiety. It wasn’t just hurting me, I was emotionally and physically scaring the people around me. I started noticing I couldn’t follow through on creative projects or personal growth because I was always recovering from the night before. What finally changed was realizing I was being watched by my little cousins. I wanted to be the kind of man they could look up to. Getting sober wasn’t instant, it was a series of attempts that each taught me more. Once I began asking my friends and family for support and was honest about my journey, it finally stuck. That was over six years ago. Now, sobriety isn’t just something I manage - t’s my superpower. I get to live with clarity, create with purpose, and show up fully for others. I’ve had countless coffees and calls with people who are curious or struggling, and I always let them lead. I’m just here to support, never judge.

Knowing when it’s time to get sober from alcohol and what to do if you relapse early

Stephanie H.

I spent years asking myself, Am I really an alcoholic? I could hold down a job and show up for my life so I convinced myself I was fine. But deep down, I knew I wasn’t. I was drinking too much and I couldn’t moderate. I would make rules and break them by dinner. I finally joined a peer support platform in May 2021 and got sober for the first time. I felt relief… until I relapsed four months later. I was devastated. I thought I had failed. But instead of disappearing into shame, I reached back out to the same community and that choice changed everything. Since September 7, 2022, I’ve stayed sober. I learned that relapse doesn’t erase the work you’ve done; it reveals where you still need support. I also learned how important it is to not wait for a rock bottom, you can choose sobriety simply because you want better. Now, I help others navigate those early questions and hard days. I offer my story, my support, and my full belief that you’re not alone, even if this isn’t your first try.

Navigating toxic relationships and finding growth beyond them

Zach M.

I’ve struggled with toxic relationships, both with others and myself. I spent years in a difficult relationship with my mother, battling resentment and frustration. Over time, I learned to see things from her perspective, realizing that her own lack of coping skills played a big part in how we interacted. I also spent seven years with an ex-girlfriend, where I was far from the best partner. I didn’t know how to communicate well, and I learned the hard way what not to do in a relationship. After we broke up, we went to couple’s counseling together, so we could maintain a friendship without the baggage. But it wasn’t just romantic relationships that were a struggle—I surrounded myself with toxic friends, too, because I didn’t want to be alone. It took me a while to realize that being surrounded by people who don’t value me only worsened my feelings of isolation. Today, I focus on building healthy relationships and holding myself accountable. I’ve learned how to empathize with people’s struggles and find growth in my own mistakes. I’m not perfect, but I’ve made it through some tough stuff and come out the other side with a lot more clarity and strength. I want to be the person for you that I needed when I was going through my own challenges.
