Let me guess.

You’ve spent the last three months Googling things like: 

🔍 “Is it normal to hate your job at 40?” 

🔍 “What career is right for me?" free quiz

🔍 “How to quit corporate without ruining your life” 

🔍 “Do I need a career coach or just a nap?”



You're not alone. In fact, Google should probably send you a thank-you card for single-handedly inflating their career-search traffic.

And while the internet is a magical place full of rabbit holes, Reddit threads, and oddly soothing TikToks of people who moved to Portugal to make artisanal soap in the woods… it’s not the place where real clarity lives.

Because clarity doesn’t come from more content. It comes from hearing your own damn thoughts—in a space where they’re not being filtered through fear, family expectations, or capitalism-induced anxiety.



🧠 So… Why Might You Need a Career Coach?

Because if you’ve been Googling your way through a career crisis… Maybe it’s time for a coach.

Not because you're broken. Not because you can't figure it out. But because you're not supposed to make your biggest life decisions in isolation, stress-Googling jobs at midnight while your inner critic throws a rager.



What Coaching Does That Google Can’t

You don’t need another blog post or podcast episode.

You need someone who can help you:

✅ Untangle the big messy ball of “I don’t know what I want, but I know it’s not this” 

✅ Sort out fear-fueled thoughts from actual data 

✅ Give your values the mic and your inner critic a time-out 

✅ Create a meaningful path forward—without blowing your whole life up (unless you want to… in which case, I bring the marshmallows)

Coaching isn’t about advice. It’s about deeper thinking, braver choices, and forward motion with intention.



🔍 How to Find a Great Coach (Hint: You Might’ve Just Done It)

If you're ready to stop Googling and start doing, here’s what to look for in a coach:

✨ Credentials that actually mean something (Hi, I’m board certified.) 

✨ A vibe that feels honest, not gimmicky 

✨ Someone who doesn’t promise a dream life in Bali—but does promise to get you unstuck

But truthfully? You’ve already found me. You’re literally reading this blog. That’s not an accident. That’s your intuition + Wi-Fi.



💬 Ready to Talk?

If you're smart, successful, and secretly stuck as hell… let’s chat. We’ll figure out what’s next—for real. No 5-year plan required.
