1:1 Sabbatical Coaching

Pause to redefine success in alignment with your intuition.

As product & tech professionals, we see the superstars in our industry and feel the pressure to pursue a narrow version of success. But if you’re a mindful, creative, artsy or sensitive person working in tech:

You might find that you…

  • Don't feel satisfied with your life or career, but you aren't totally sure what you want

  • Consistently feel depleted, burned out, stuck or uninspired

  • Feel trapped or stuck in your current career or life situation because of external expectations or definitions of success

  • Feel a deep longing for more soulful, creative and meaningful experiences

  • Feel grief about your life and/or career not turning out how you expected

All of the above describe how I’ve felt during my career as a product manager, despite experiencing success. If this sounds like you, let’s connect.

My sabbatical story

In 2021 miserable at my job, and after a 14 year career of burnout cycles, I asked myself, is my life just going to be one debilitating job after another until I die? Determined to defy that question, I took a million tiny steps of faith to save and plan for a one year sabbatical that I took in 2022.


My sabbatical unraveled my adult life as I knew it. I had accepted for so long that I had to consistently be disengaged with work and life. That I had to put my creative work on the shelf. That I had to do work I found soulless until 65 when, if I had enough energy, I could finally get to my dreams. I realized, in fact, that I have the power to make the life and work that I want now. My sabbatical was my first step in the journey to transform, or as I like to say, alchemize the ashes of my life.

However subtle, you feel the inner nudge to do something new, but the first steps can be the hardest. I can partner with you to take yours through crafting a career break that ushers in a deeply resonant, new season of your life and career.

Reconnect to your vision & imagination to create a transformative transition

When you’re in the day to day grind, it’s easy to go through the motions, disconnect from yourself and drift away from what matters most to you.
