Several years ago I found myself looking around wondering, “how in the world did I get here?”. I was at the height of my career, arguably successful by traditional measures, and ready to take on new challenges. I should have felt on top of the world and instead, I felt trapped.

The feeling that I was stuck, pigeon-holed, and maxed out stopped me in my tracks. How was I supposed to move forward when the options for advancement were no longer appealing? Was I doomed to an unfulfilling career? Why was I so dissatisfied anyway? What was wrong with me?

It’s taken years of coaching, challenging conversations, and an awful lot of work to understand that I was never doomed. Career pivots are possible - and they’re fun! - but they require deep introspection and a clear understanding of where you’ve been, where you want to go, and how to talk about it.

Is it easy? No. But is it possible? Yes.

There have been several junctures in my life when I’ve needed to assess how my ambition matched my surroundings - when I became a mom, when I accepted a mismatched promotion, when I leapt into the world of start-ups. At each point, I was forced to lift up my head, look at what I was doing with my life, and make a change. For you, it could be something else entirely. What I know to be true, though, is that if you see yourself in my story, there is hope. Once you zero in on what you want and learn how make it happen, it is possible to pivot and find the life at work and at home that you know you deserve.

It takes work, but I know you can get there. I’m here to help.
