Burnout

This one-off coaching session is a low-pressure, high-support space to hit pause and reconnect with yourself. Whether you're exhausted, emotionally checked out, or questioning everything, this session is here to help you shift from survival mode into something more sustainable.

We’ll slow down together, untangle the overwhelm, and name what’s really going on—without judgment.

This is for you if you:

Feel emotionally or creatively drained (and coffee’s not cutting it)
Are questioning your work, your path, or your worth
Have no energy left for the stuff you used to care about

A bit more breathing room
One small, restorative action you can take now
Clarity on whether ongoing support could help you recover and realign

Clarity & Strategy

This 90 minute session is a focused, collaborative deep dive designed to bring clarity, direction, and real momentum—whether you're facing a specific challenge or just need space to think and recalibrate.

It’s for you if you’re:

Feeling stuck, unclear on what do do next, or pulled in too many directions
Wrestling with a big creative or career decision
Craving a reset to reconnect with what actually matters
Needing practical next steps (not just more ideas)

What we’ll do together:

Get clear on what’s really going on beneath the surface
Explore your goals, values, and blind spots
Reframe challenges with fresh perspective
Identify your next right moves—aligned, doable, and true to you

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all fix. It’s a thoughtful conversation built around you—your pace, your priorities, your path forward.

Imposter Syndrome

This 90 minute session is for creatives who feel like they’ve outgrown their self-doubt—but are still dragging it around anyway. Maybe you’ve accomplished a lot, but it doesn’t feel like enough. Maybe you’re afraid of being “found out,” or you’re constantly second-guessing whether you belong at the table.

We’ll slow down and untangle the noise, separating fact from fear. Together, we’ll explore the internal narratives keeping you stuck and begin to replace them with something more honest, more empowering—and more you.

It’s for you if you’re:

Tired of downplaying your work, your worth, or your wins
Stuck in perfectionism, procrastination, or people-pleasing
Constantly comparing yourself or feeling like a fraud
Ready to quiet the inner critic and move forward with confidence

In this session, we’ll:

Name and challenge the limiting beliefs holding you back
Reframe your inner dialogue with truth and clarity
Tap into your actual strengths, not just your perceived shortcomings
Identify one aligned, courageous step you can take right now

This is a safe, judgment-free space to show up as you are—uncertain, brilliant, overwhelmed, stuck—and begin the shift toward owning your value and your voice.
