Discovering myself through coaching
The human story behind the practice.
Coaching entered my life at a moment when everything felt frayed. As a late‑diagnosed AuDHD woman, I had spent more than two decades in the corporate world pushing through burnout after burnout, convinced that if I just tried harder, I could make it all work.
What coaching offered me was something I didn't know I needed: a way to approach myself with curiosity instead of criticism. It became the first place where I could slow down enough to hear myself think — to notice what was working, what wasn't, and what my nervous system had been trying to tell me for years.
Burnout narrows your world. Mine was shaped by old beliefs, unmet needs, a nervous system that rarely felt safe, and decades of interpreting my experiences through a lens I didn't yet understand. Finding my way back to well‑being wasn't as simple as "balancing demands." It required something deeper.
For me, healing looked like:
- grieving an old identity and stepping into a new one,
- understanding my neurotype and what it actually needs,
- reconnecting with my values,
- and experimenting — gently — with choices that brought me closer to myself.
Working with a coach helped me expand my sense of possibility. It helped me see creative solutions I couldn't access on my own. It helped me rebuild from the inside out. That experience changed me so profoundly that I knew I wanted to learn how to offer that same kind of partnership to others.
Investing in coach training, supervision, and ongoing learning felt like the most aligned next step — the place where my lived experience, my strengths, and my desire to support others finally clicked into place.
I know what it's like to feel misunderstood, overextended, or disconnected from yourself. I also know the power of being met with acceptance, clarity, and someone who believes in your capacity. That's the energy I bring into this work every day.
What matters most to me
The worldview behind the work.
These are the beliefs that shape how I coach and how I move through the world:
- Advocating for yourself empowers others. When you speak up for your needs, you make room for others to do the same.
- Asking for help is strength. It creates connection, collaboration, and possibilities we can't access alone.
- Everyone needs a buddy in the system. Someone who has your back, helps you think, and reminds you that you're not "too much."
- There is always another way. When something doesn't work, it's not failure — it's information and an invitation to try a different path.
