READY TO EARN $100K MORE AND GET 10 HOURS OF YOUR LIFE BACK EACH WEEK?

I help women leaders and firm owners rise faster, stress less, and love the careers they’ve worked so hard to build.

AS SEEN ON:

I'm Lauren Baptiste

As a former CPA + consultant turned burnout coach, I understand the unique challenges faced by professionals in high-pressure environments. The demands of maintaining billable-hour requirements on top of the constant push never-ending deadlines, and the pressure to always be "on" leads to burnout—a state of physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion that can feel impossible to overcome.

MY STORY

THERE'S A PART OF YOU THAT KNOWS IT SHOULD BE BETTER.

With me as your burnout coach, you’ll achieve a life where you can:

☑️ Advance your career and enjoy your life without feeling like you have to choose between the two.⁠
☑️ Enjoy your Monday through Friday routine instead of feeling anxious and depleted all week long.⁠
☑️ Work less and receive praise at work for providing better recommendations and solutions.⁠
☑️ Be present with your kids at dinner, even after a long day in the office.⁠
☑️ Fully disconnect from work for an entire week to enjoy a spa getaway in Italy.⁠
☑️ Keep your clients out of jail and also get a full night’s sleep.⁠
☑️ Learn how to relax and use your downtime (knowing it’s just as important as your work).⁠
☑️ Take more vacations in the upcoming year than in the previous five years combined.⁠

☑️ And so much more!

Burnout may have brought you here, but it doesn’t have to define you anymore.

⁠
On Friday, 1/30 at 12:30pm ET, I’m hosting my Virtual Networking Event for professional women who are done doing everything alone.⁠
⁠
If you’re leading, growing, or carrying more than you let on, this room is for you.⁠
⁠
And before you ask, yes, it’s worth your time.⁠
⁠
What past attendees say every single time:⁠
⭐️ “One of the best networking events I’ve ever attended.”⁠
⭐️ “The structure made it feel intentional, not awkward.”⁠
⭐️ “I left clearer, calmer, and energized.”⁠
⭐️ “These are my people.”⁠

Let’s talk about the part no one says out loud.⁠
⁠
When you’re leading a team or running a business, it gets lonely.⁠
You can’t vent up.⁠
You can’t vent down.⁠
And “figuring it out on your own” somehow becomes the default… even though it’s exhausting and ineffective.⁠
⁠
This is one of the biggest reasons women stall out at the top.⁠
⁠
Not because they aren’t capable, but because they’re carrying too much alone.⁠
⁠
So I’m building the room I wish existed.⁠
⁠
This virtual networking event is for women who want smart conversation, real connection, and support that actually moves the needle in their career or business.⁠
⁠
No awkward small talk.⁠
No performative networking.⁠
No pretending you have it all together.⁠
⁠
Here’s what to expect:⁠
⁠
✨ A grounding breathwork session to calm your nervous system and get you out of reactive mode⁠
💬 Small breakout groups designed for real conversation, not surface-level chatting⁠
💡 Space to talk about what you’re building, what you need, and where you’re going next⁠
⁠
The flow:⁠
⁠
• 15 minutes of introductions, breathwork, and intention setting⁠
• 35 minutes of guided small-group discussion⁠
• 10 minutes to make a clear ask (referrals, feedback, visibility, support)⁠
⁠
The details:⁠
⁠
📅 WHEN: Friday, January 30th at 12:30–1:30pm ET⁠
🖥️ WHERE: Live on Zoom⁠
💰 COST: Free⁠
⁠
I’ve been hosting these for two years and the rooms are always powerful. ⁠
⁠
The right women show up. ⁠
The conversations go deep. ⁠
And connections actually last.⁠
⁠
If you’re craving community that feels supportive, strategic, and energizing, this is for you.⁠

#womeninaccounting #womeninconsulting #womeninlaw #leadership #networkingforwomen #burnoutprevention

In 2016, I took photos of motivational quotes and sparks of inspiration, hoping to one day have a better life of real flexibility, autonomy and time/money freedom.

What changed wasn’t luck.
It was action. Daily. Consistent. Unsexy.

…and it paid off.

Now I’m living what I once only imagined. To be honest, it’s even better than I could have hoped for thanks to the tools, processes and frameworks I’ve created and now teach my clients.

Excited to see what 2036 becomes. 😉

The season of team dinners are here.⁠
⁠
Pizza. Maybe tacos if you’re feeling generous. 🍕🌮⁠
⁠
Let’s say the quiet part out loud: Food is not a burnout strategy.⁠
⁠
It’s a nice gesture.⁠
⁠
It’s not support.⁠
⁠
Busy season doesn’t break people because they’re hungry.⁠
⁠
It breaks them because expectations are unclear, boundaries are missing, and everything feels urgent all the time.⁠
⁠
So here’s the real question for firm leaders:⁠
⁠
What are you doing to support your team when the pressure actually hits?⁠
⁠
Not perks.⁠
Not parties.⁠
Systems. Communication. Decisions.⁠
⁠
Drop one thing in the comments you’re doing this busy season to reduce stress, protect energy, or help your team stay sane.⁠
⁠
Borrow ideas. Share what’s working.⁠
⁠
Because pizza is optional.⁠
⁠
Burnout is not.⁠

Hi, I’m Lauren Baptiste. 🙋🏻‍♀️⁠
⁠
CPA turned coach helping the hardest-working professionals rise, lead, and succeed without burnout.⁠
⁠
New here? Follow along and tap the bell 🔔 for practical insights, honest conversations, and real strategies to build a career you don’t need to recover from.

In Q4 2023, Kristen, a Wealth Management Advisor, came to Freedom four months before her promotion deadline.⁠
⁠
She told me her odds were 6/10.⁠
We made them a 10.⁠
⁠
👋🏼 Hello VP title and comp upgrade 👋🏼⁠
⁠
In our first few sessions, we laid down a strategic plan, shifted her mindset, and front-loaded effort to reach a number she’d never hit before in her career.⁠
⁠
✅ PROMOTED 3 weeks ahead of deadline⁠
✅ Higher COMPENSATION to give more to her family⁠
✅ More TIME OFF to be fully present with her kids⁠
✅ CEO MINDSET “I’m the right person to help my clients succeed”⁠
⁠
Let me say that again:⁠
⁠
She didn’t just promote.⁠
She started working more meaningfully. ⁠
⁠
That’s what Freedom delivers.⁠
⁠
“We technically hit it three weeks early, but mentally, we were done in January. The mindset shift and focusing on the right opportunities helped us hit the ground running,” says Kristen.⁠
⁠
Inside the Freedom program, we don’t just “work on confidence.”⁠
We create a life that has you reaping the rewards of a high-powered job — permanently.⁠
⁠
🔥 Did I mention Kristen's about to promote AGAIN at the end of Q1 2026? 🤑 🔥⁠
⁠
2 PROMOTIONS IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS!!!⁠
⁠
If you’re eyeing a promotion, trying to get your time and energy back, or stuck doing more for less, you need to be working with me.⁠
⁠
📅 Book a decision-making call now and we'll talk about what Freedom can do for you.⁠
⁠

“Now’s not a good time to start. I’m heading into my busiest time of the year.”⁠
⁠
⁠
I hear this every year.⁠
⁠
And I’m going to say the part most people won’t: Busy season is exactly why now is the time. 🔥⁠
⁠
Here are 5️⃣ reasons waiting is the worst move you could make:⁠
⁠
1. Busy season exposes the real problem: If your calendar, boundaries, delegation, or leadership structure are weak, busy season will make that painfully obvious. Ignoring it doesn’t protect you. It compounds the problem.⁠
⁠
2. You don’t suddenly get more capacity later: January turns into March. March turns into “after filing.” Then it’s summer, and you’re too fried to think clearly. The “right time” never shows up.⁠
⁠
3. The way you operate under pressure determines your promotion speed:⁠
Promotions, comp decisions, and leadership perceptions are formed during high-pressure seasons, not in the quiet ones. This is when positioning matters most.⁠
⁠
4. Burnout sucks up all your free time: Every extra hour you white-knuckle costs you focus, patience, sleep, and performance. Waiting until you’re wrecked is not strategic. It’s reactive.⁠
⁠
5. Your struggle is compounding, leaving you a massive cleanup for later.⁠
You don’t need a full life overhaul. You need smarter decisions, cleaner priorities, and support while it actually counts.⁠
⁠
⁠
The truth most people don’t want to face:⁠
⁠
👉🏼 If you “don’t have time” to fix how you’re working, that’s the clearest signal that you can’t afford not to.⁠
⁠
If you want busy season to stop feeling like a personal sacrifice of 5 months you don't go to the gym, participate in your monthly girls' night, or enjoy a glass of wine by the fireplace, remember that it can be different. ⁠
⁠
If you’re done pretending next season will magically be different, comment or DM “CONSULT.”⁠
⁠
I’ll send you the link to my calendar and walk you through a custom strategy that'll have you feeling fresh at the end of your busy period.⁠
⁠
⁠
#busyseason #bookkeeping #lifeofanaccountant

I want to say this gently, but I'm going to say it honestly.⁠
⁠
If you feel like you “can’t get your sh*t together,” it’s not because you’re lazy, broken, or bad at life.⁠
⁠
It’s because you’re trying to solve your problems with willpower. Pushing through. Hustling at all costs.⁠
⁠
But you're exhausted and you can't hold that pace on an empty tank.⁠
⁠
You keep telling yourself:⁠
⁠
“I’ll get it together after busy season.”⁠
“Things will calm down next quarter.”⁠
“I just need a little more motivation.”⁠
⁠
So you keep pushing, but you know you're slowly fading...⁠
⁠
Let me ask you the question most people avoid:⁠
⁠
What do you actually think will improve in 2026 if you repeat the same actions as 2025?⁠
⁠
I hate to say this, but:⁠
⁠
Your workload won’t magically shrink.⁠
Your inbox won’t stop refilling.⁠
Your energy won’t come back on its own.⁠
Your confidence won’t rebuild itself while you keep operating the same way.⁠
⁠
You're waiting and it's hurting you.⁠
⁠
And whether you know it or not, waiting is not neutral. Waiting is a decision.⁠
⁠
And it's costing you more exhaustion, more resentment, and another year where you’re frustrated with yourself for not changing something you knew wasn’t working.⁠
⁠
Here’s the part I want you to hear clearly:⁠
⁠
You don’t need to try harder.⁠
You don't need to push through anymore, but⁠
You need support, structure, and a plan that actually fits your life.⁠
⁠
The moment things start to change is not when you feel ready.⁠
It’s when you decide you’re done tolerating the current situation.⁠
⁠
If this hit a nerve, that’s not shame.⁠
⁠
That’s information.⁠
⁠
And it’s your cue.⁠
⁠
If you want help untangling what’s keeping you stuck and building a way forward that doesn’t rely on burnout, comment or DM “CONSULT” and I’ll send you the link to book time on my calendar.⁠
⁠
I only have a limited number of spots available, and once they’re filled, that’s it.⁠
⁠
You don’t need another pep talk.⁠
⁠
You need a different approach.⁠
⁠
I've got you each step of the way.

Who already feels behind on their New Year’s goals? Be honest. 😬

You’re capable.
You’re smart.
You execute for everyone else.

But prioritizing yourself? That’s where it falls apart.

Every December you get hopeful.
You set ambitious goals.
You tell yourself, “This year will be different.”

And then January hits.

Same workload.
Same expectations.
Same habits.
Same exhaustion.

This isn’t a motivation problem.
And it’s not a discipline problem.

It’s a strategy problem.

You were never taught how to set goals that actually work in a high-pressure profession. You were told to submit them, glance at them mid-year, and somehow magically hit them while working 55+ hour weeks.

So let’s call it out. Goals fail for four reasons:

1️⃣ There’s no real plan
2️⃣ The plan ignores real life
3️⃣ Follow-through collapses under pressure
4️⃣ Your own thinking quietly sabotages you

A new year doesn’t reset any of that.

January 1st doesn’t change your workload.
It doesn’t change your habits.
And it definitely doesn’t change busy season.

So if you already feel behind, it’s not because you “lack willpower.”
It’s because you’re trying to run a new year with last year’s structure.

Here’s the truth most people avoid:

If nothing changes, 2026 will look exactly like 2025.
Same stress. Same disappointment. Same promises to yourself you don’t keep.

Unless you change the way you operate.

That’s the work we do inside Freedom.

We build goals that fit real life.
We create follow-through that holds under pressure.
We remove the patterns that keep putting you last.
And we make progress without requiring nights, weekends, or burnout.

If you don’t want another year of starting strong and falling apart by February, this is your moment.

Limited spots. Real structure. Real results.

3... 2... 1... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!🎉🥂 Everyone rejoices while you secretly cringe.⁠
⁠
Because it's the new year and you're an accountant/auditor/tax professional/bookkeeper. (You're all pretty busy this time of year... 🫠⁠)
⁠
It means that 12/31/2025 is officially in the past and there's a countdown clock before financials are due.⁠
⁠
The feelings you've suppressed since your last deadline are all coming back.⁠
⁠
You can feel the heaviness in your body.⁠
⁠
Your anxiety spikes.⁠
⁠
You promised yourself you'd never do this to yourself again.⁠
⁠
... but here you are.⁠
⁠
It's 2026 and you don't have a new job lined up, and after being at the firm for 9+ years, it'd be pretty terrible to burn bridges.⁠
⁠
So you accept your sentence of another busy season. *sigh*⁠
⁠
Suddenly your shoulders drop, ⁠
⁠
Your confidence dips, and⁠
⁠
Any glimmer of 2026 being better than 2025 is already out the window. 😩⁠
⁠
Here's what you need to know: ⁠
⁠
The busy season doesn't have to feel like a jail sentence.⁠
⁠
I teach my clients how to navigate 55+ hour/week minimums (which you and I both know look like 70 hours/week) without falling apart.⁠
⁠
As a result, my clients are able to maintain a sense of control, no matter how many hours you need to work.⁠

They wrap up their busy season feeling fresh, not like they've been hit by a cement truck.
⁠
Book a decision-making to set yourself up for a 2026 busy season that's different. Better. And still sets you up to achieve your professional and personal goals.⁠

#2026

It's a wrap 2025! 🥳🎈🎉

Acheloa Wellness continues to be THE firm where women in Accounting, Law, Finance and Consulting CAN be:⁠
⁠
✅ Balanced
✅ Confident
✅ In-control
⁠
I couldn't be more proud to see it grow.

But I'm going to be honest with you, I stepped into 2024 with a lofty goal... And I didn't hit it.

It sounds like this also happened to you.

You set a big goals in 2025, and there was a point where you realized you weren't going to achieve it.

So you:

1) Worked even harder and still fell short, then

2) Entered "burn down" mode, where you gave up and inevitably missed the mark.

More specifically, It looks like:

- Disappointment when you realized another year went by without the pay raise or the fancy title.

- Resentment towards the company you nearly killed yourself for with "nothing to show for it".

- Desperation when you dusted off your resume thinking, "Maybe it'll be better if I leave."

I get it and I want to honor those feelings of hurt, disappointment and frustration.

... but lingering in those sh*tty feelings is also what's keeping you stuck.

Because I know how difficult this can feel, I wanted to share what works for me:

I dig for wins.

Yep, DIG.

As often as I need to and as long as it takes.

Because sometimes it feels like there's nothing to celebrate, but that's a lie you're telling yourself.

There are ALWAYS wins along the way.

I know these smaller wins don't currently feel like wins; you identify them as checkpoints to the goal.

But that mindset will keep you perpetually disappointed.

Because your success hinges entirely on that one big goal.

And you fell short.

➡️ Missing your goal isn't the end of the world, but giving up on your goal is.

So instead, I'm recount my wins (look back at yesterday's post!), but for now, I invite you to do the same.

As we close out 2025, I have one word of advice: DIG.

Because you can either dig yourself out of the hole; or you can bury yourself in it.

The choice is yours.

Now DM me and spill — which one of your 2025 goals are you 100% motivated to go after, but also know that it's been years and you might need some extra support to achieve it?

📣 Celebrating another year of coaching hard-workers like you to make more money, enjoy more work-life balance, gain 1+ extra hour per day, have less stress and feel Confident AF in anything and everything they put their minds to. 🎉⁠📣⁠
⁠
Why did they see such amazing results? My coaching program, Freedom.🥳🙌🏼⁠
⁠
The reason they experienced success like this is because:⁠
⁠
🔥 They're no longer prioritizing "busy work" over “essential work”. They've pivoted their time, energy and focus on the tasks that move their career forward and significantly cut-down on the administrative work that was monopolize their day.⁠
⁠
🔥 They trust themselves. Clients came to me at rock bottom, but once they remembered how tap into their unique style of leadership and communicate their value to others, their confidence and abilities sky-rocketed.⁠
⁠
🔥 They used the tools they've learned through coaching to stop spinning in confusion, dread and overwhelm, and create a go-forward plan that created clarity and conviction.⁠
⁠
What I love most about their success? They created lives better than they could have ever imagined possible. ⁠💃🏻🪩🎉⁠
⁠
I could go on and on about the specific results that each client has achieved, but none of that actually matters.⁠
⁠
What matters is that these results gave them: More time doing things they care about, more joy in day-to-day moments, and more success at work and at home. MORE. ⁠(Without doing more!)⁠
⁠
It's not magic. It's a process that I share with each of my clients.⁠
⁠
When you enroll in my 1:1 coaching program Freedom, you become an entirely new woman without having to change your job, forgo your performance-based bonus or sacrifice your free-time.⁠
⁠⁠
The best part of it all? ⁠
⁠
This can be you.⁠

#2026goals #makeithappen

Ms. Claus would like to remind you that turning off email notifications is allowed. And yes, it might be the best gift you give yourself today. 🤶📵⁠
⁠
⁠
Let’s be honest.⁠
⁠
Whether it’s work email, Slack, Candy Crush, or doom-scrolling, stepping away from your phone feels harder than it should.⁠
⁠
And it usually comes down to two things:⁠
⁠
1. You feel like you’re supposed to be on-call.⁠
2. Or your nervous system is chasing the dopamine hit.⁠
⁠
For high-achievers, it’s almost always both.⁠
⁠
So consider this your permission slip to unplug today.⁠
⁠
⬇️ Here’s how to actually do it without white-knuckling the whole day:⁠ ⬇️⁠
⁠
1. Turn off email notifications. Not silence. Off.⁠
⁠
2. Use your camera without unlocking your phone, or borrow someone else’s. Capture the moment without opening Outlook.⁠
⁠
3. Leave your phone in another room. Out of sight matters more than willpower.⁠
⁠
4. When the urge to check hits, re-anchor into the moment. Ask a question to your spouse. Sit down by the fire. Savor the cocoa.⁠
⁠
5. If you truly have to log in later because of a year-end deadline, remember this: this moment happens once. Email happens every day; this moment only happens once per year.⁠
⁠
⁠
Work will wait.⁠
These memories will not.⁠
⁠
And one more thing...⁠
⁠
If you respond to emails on Christmas, you’re training people to expect access to you at all times. That reputation sticks. Choose wisely.⁠
⁠
So today, for real, put the phone down.⁠
⁠
Choose to disconnect without guilt (even if only for an hour⁠).⁠
⁠
Enjoy the moment you worked so hard to protect all year long.⁠
⁠
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate. 🎄⁠

There are a lot of things under the tree that will genuinely do nothing for your life. 😬⁠
⁠
I said it.⁠
⁠
The bags are nice.⁠
The shoes are cute.⁠
The jewelry is fine.⁠
⁠
But I know you.⁠
⁠
What you actually want for Christmas is this:⁠
⁠
- To not check your email while your kids open gifts⁠
- To not spend Christmas night mentally preparing for work the next day⁠
- To take December 26th off without guilt or explaining yourself⁠
- To drink your coffee slowly instead of bracing for your inbox⁠
- To come back from time off actually rested⁠
- To remember what fun feels like again⁠
⁠
Let’s get real.⁠
⁠
If this has been your wishlist for years, hoping Santa will bring it isn't a helpful strategy.⁠
⁠
Because if it were going to magically fix itself, it already would have.⁠
⁠
You do not need more willpower.⁠
You do not need to "try harder".⁠
You do not need another vacation.⁠
⁠
You need coaching.⁠
⁠
We fix the patterns that keep you reachable, over-responsible, and quietly resentful.⁠
⁠
We build boundaries where you can enjoy the week between Christmas and New Years without guilt.⁠
⁠
And we make sure your success does not require hustling or burning yourself out.⁠
⁠
If you want next year to feel different, this is where it starts.⁠
⁠
Not January 1.⁠
Not after busy season.⁠
Now.⁠
⁠
If reading this made you nod a little too hard, book a consultation with me.⁠
⁠
We’ll get clear on what you want, what’s actually holding you back, and whether working together is the right next move to create change quickly and sustainably.⁠
⁠
Because the best gift you can give yourself is a life that does not require burnout in exchange for success.⁠
⁠

It's the most wonderful time of the year... Or is it? 🤔

You have been fed the idea that the holidays should be flawless and magical, and then you beat yourself up when reality looks nothing like the Hallmark special in our heads.

The truth: December is hard.

You are juggling:

• Q4 deadlines
• Kids and their wishlist pressure
• Holiday parties where one extra drink turns into one extra regret
• Endless coordinating, cooking, planning, managing

And you wonder why you feel stretched thin and counting down the days until 12/26.

Yes, this time of year can be beautiful.

But let’s tell the truth.

It comes with work, pressure, and invisible responsibility that leaves you feeling stressed out and on the verge of tears.

But what if this year could be different?

What if you could:

• Finish your year-end reviews on time and still make it to your kid’s Nutcracker recital without checking email?

• Take PTO and actually rest instead of panicking about all the gifts you have to buy?

• Enjoy small, intentional moments with your spouse on Christmas Eve without obsessing over the perfect tablescape?

It can be different.
It can be easier.
It can even be better.

Because a less stressed holiday is within your control.

You might not have the tools yet.

But I do.

And we build them inside Freedom, my private 1:1 coaching program for high-achieving women who want more money, more balance, and more life without burning out.

If you want 2026 to look radically different from every year before this, book a consultation now.

We will talk through what is not working, what you want instead, and whether Freedom is the right fit to get you there.

Home Alone is not the story of a careless mom. It's the story of a Type A, burned out woman who tried to fix her exhaustion with a vacation. 🤯⁠
⁠
Let’s talk about Kate McCallister.⁠
⁠
Five kids.⁠
Constant logistics.⁠
A house that somehow looks like a catalog.⁠
⁠
And yes, she is absolutely a working woman. (No stay at home mom is wearing that many structured pantsuits. Ask me how I know. 😉)⁠
⁠
She is classic high-achiever:⁠
⁠
• House spotless before an international flight⁠
• Phonebook in her carry on, which was the 1990 version of traveling with your laptop⁠
• The moment she realizes Kevin is missing, she blames herself, over functions, and carries the entire burden alone even if it means white knuckling her way home solo⁠
⁠
People love to mock her for forgetting a kid.⁠
⁠
But if you zoom out, it is obvious: This is what burnout looks like.⁠
⁠
Exhaustion. Hyper responsibility. Emotional distance.⁠
⁠
So overloaded that you miss the most important thing right in front of you.⁠
⁠
And like many women, she tried to solve it with a vacation.⁠
A break.⁠
Some distance.⁠
⁠
But burnout does not disappear because you fly to Paris.⁠
It just follows you there.⁠
⁠
Here is the good news. Today we have better options.⁠
⁠
Burnout is not solved by time off.⁠
Burnout is solved by support, clarity, boundaries, and someone in your corner helping you break the overwork cycle for good.⁠
⁠
This is the work I do with my clients.⁠
So when you take a trip, whether it is Paris or anywhere else, you go because you want to, not because you are trying to escape your life.⁠
⁠
If you want 2026 to be the year you stop dropping the ball on groceries, promotions, and everything else burnout steals from you, this is your moment.⁠
⁠
Comment CONSULT and I will send the link to my calendar.⁠
⁠
Let’s make sure you never end up living the same story as Kate McCallister.⁠

WARNING: Even if the laptop is closed, your Outlook is still collecting emails... 😬⁠
⁠
It’s the last working Friday of the year.⁠
You’re desperate to shut it down.⁠
And yet… we both know what’s coming.⁠
⁠
You’ll “just check real quick.”⁠
You’ll tell yourself it’s harmless.⁠
You’ll say you’re not really working.⁠
⁠
But here’s the truth:⁠
⁠
You’re worried something will break if you’re gone.⁠
You don’t want to fall behind.⁠
You like being the one who’s “in the know.”⁠
You pride yourself on being responsive.⁠
You tell yourself it’s easier to stay lightly plugged in.⁠
⁠
And suddenly, PTO turns into unpaid on-call duty.⁠
⁠
This is how people lose real time off.⁠
Not in one big decision.⁠
In a thousand tiny justifications.⁠
⁠
And if you’re not careful, you train everyone around you that⁠
OOO actually means WOOO (Working Out Of Office).⁠
⁠
If you want to feel rested when you come back, here’s the move:⁠
⁠
Decide before you close the laptop.⁠
⁠
Not later.⁠
Not “we’ll see.”⁠
Now.⁠
⁠
✔️ OOO is on. Non-negotiable.⁠
✔️ Decide how often you’ll check, if at all.⁠
✔️ Decide how long you’ll check.⁠
✔️ Decide in advance what actually deserves a response.⁠
⁠
Then stick to it.⁠
⁠
If your instinct is “every day,” reduce it.⁠
If your instinct is “an hour,” cut it to 15 minutes.⁠
If your instinct is “I can’t not check,” I have advice for you. ⤵️⁠
⁠
Put the protocol in your calendar.⁠
Tell your team.⁠
Tell your family.⁠
⁠
Then close the laptop.⁠
⁠
And if reading this made you cringe, feel defensive, or somewhat guilty…⁠
That’s your sign to book a consultation with me now.⁠
⁠
Because responding to emails while you're OOO between Christmas and New Years isn’t the move. (Having a way to take PTO without guilt is!)⁠
⁠
Comment CONSULT to get on my calendar, then go put up your OOO and get out of here. 😉⁠
⁠

BIG REMINDER: Did you remember to buy gifts for your housekeeper, your nanny, and your private chef?

Oh wait… that’s you. 🤣🙃🫠

You are the one cooking, cleaning, organizing, wrapping, planning, managing, fixing, soothing, and keeping this entire operation running.

So yes, you deserve a gift too.

And not another candle or bathrobe that collects dust.

Give yourself the gift that actually changes your life: Coaching.

Because a spa day relaxes you for a few temporary hours.

Coaching gives you back 10 hours every week and helps you earn $100K more next year.

2026 can be the year everything shifts, but only if you decide to make it different. Better. Easier.

When you take care of you, everyone around you benefits.

Your energy rises.
Your capacity expands.
Your home gets calmer.
Your career gets bigger.
Your family gets a better you.

DM me “CONSULT” and I’ll send you the link to book your consultation. Spot are running out, but one of them can be yours if you act now.

Don't wait for Santa. Give yourself the upgrade you actually deserve this year.

Some coaches will tell you to “just work harder” and hope everything sorts itself out next year. That is NOT my style.⁠
⁠
⁠
The clients I work with don’t need more effort.⁠
They need a smarter way to play the game they’re already winning.⁠
⁠
This is what actually changes when you stop white-knuckling your career and start being strategic:⁠
⁠
You stop spending your days on work that keeps you busy but invisible.⁠
You start doing the work that gets you paid, promoted, and taken seriously.⁠
⁠
You stop second-guessing yourself.⁠
You start trusting your judgment and leading like someone who belongs in the room.⁠
⁠
You stop circling the same questions for months.⁠
You make decisions and move forward.⁠
⁠
That’s Freedom.⁠
⁠
Not motivation.⁠
Not hustle.⁠
Not “just be more confident.”⁠
⁠
A process that helps high performers earn more, work less, and finally feel in control of their time.⁠
⁠
What my clients actually get:⁠
⁠
✅️ More money with the ability to retire years before they expected.⁠
✅️ More time to be fully with your family on Christmas Eve without feeling the need to check your email.⁠
✅️ More clarity about what they want and how to get there with ease.⁠
⁠
This isn’t magic.⁠
⁠
It’s what happens when you stop trying to survive your career and start running it.⁠
⁠
If you want 2026 to feel different in a real, measurable way, Freedom is how you do that.⁠
⁠
Book a consultation if you’re ready to stop spinning and start enjoying.⁠

Ah, the holidays.
The season where high-achievers unconsciously slip into the role of “last one standing.”

Last in the office.
Last to shut the laptop.
Last to bed.
Last to rest.
And absolutely last on your own priority list.

You want a holiday that feels warm, calm, joyful.
You’re living a holiday that feels like another deadline, not a break.

Here’s the kicker:

You’re not just losing peace.
You’re losing money in potential earnings.
You’re losing hours of potential time making holiday memories with your family.

Because when you are overwhelmed, overcommitted, and over-functioning to keep everyone happy…

➡️ You’re not in a position to earn $100K more in 2026.
➡️ You’re not in a position to reclaim 10+ hours every week to enjoy a spin class or a moment to think.
➡️ And you’re definitely not in a position to be present for the sweet, little moments in your life.

This is the exact cycle my clients come to me to break.

Inside my 1:1 coaching, here’s what we change fast:

1. We clean up your plate so you stop wasting energy on tasks that don’t move you forward.

2. We set strategic career goals that lead directly to promotions, comp increases, and leadership opportunities.

3. We build a personal system that gives you 10+ hours of your life back - every single week.

4. We remove the habits that drain you, so holidays stop feeling like survival mode and actually feel fun.

The result?

A career that pays you more.
A calendar that gives you air to breathe.
A holiday season that does not swallow you whole.

Your career is not the reason holidays feel impossible.
Your lack of support is.

You do not have to white-knuckle your way through another December.
You do not have to keep playing “last person standing.”
You do not have to choose between success and sanity.

You can have both.
You should have both.
And you are one decision away from getting both.

I'm enrolling clients ONLY TWO MORE CLIENTS who are ready to make things happen in 2026.

Comment CONSULT below and I’ll send the link to my calendar.

Because the real gift this year is finally having what you've been working so hard for.

It’s December. You’re knee-deep in Q4 deadlines, client deliverables, and holiday planning logistics — and somehow, you’re still the one holding everything together.

But before the chaos takes over, take a minute to ask yourself:

- What’s actually not working right now?
- Am I giving myself what I need?
- How could I benefit from real support?

If you’ve been thinking about Freedom, and you know the next few weeks are only going to get busier, this is your time.

Because the truth is: the stress, the overwork, the “I’ll figure it out later” mindset is costing you way more than you think.

That’s why I’m opening my calendar for new client consultations.

During our free 60-minute call, we’ll talk about what’s keeping you stuck, what you really want next, and how to create a path that actually works (Think: more money, more free time, more peace).

No pressure. Just clarity, strategy, and real answers.

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “I’d love this, but ______,” this is your sign to stop overthinking and start leading your next chapter.

Spots are limited. Grab your consultation before someone else does.

This could be the conversation that changes everything.

Most women work their way up the corporate ladder doubling and tripling their salaries by doing MORE of what they are already doing, and it looks like overcommitting and overworking to get to where you want to go.
⁠
Given how challenging it can be as a spouse, mother, daughter, friend, etc., I get why so many women hesitate when they think about what it takes to level-up at work... and it goes one of 2 ways: ⁠
⁠
1. One very slow step at a time, worrying about how much you can really handle at once.⁠
⁠
2. Do all the things, all at once, leads you to a life of juggling even more things, doing none of them well.
⁠
Neither strategy works because neither gets you to the top.⁠
⁠
The truth is: You are already working the hardest you will ever need to work.⁠
⁠
Hitting that next milestone at work is not about doubling or tripling your working hours.⁠
⁠
Because you and I both know you don't have more hours to give.

So it's time to do the math, and work backwards.

💥Here's a 5-minute exercise to move you in the right direction:💥

Take a moment to answer the following:

- How many hours can you realistically work each week after taking care of personal needs like sleep, cooking and commuting?
- What tasks are the most important for that time?
- If you don’t have enough time, what can you delegate, drop, or change?
- How would it feel to focus only on what matters most instead of trying to handle everything?

It's not about doing more; it’s about adjusting your way of thinking, executing on this simple strategy and trusting it's enough.
⁠
This is the work I do with my clients.

They finally achieve the success they've been reaching for WITHOUT the added hours or effort.

If you are juggling it all and continue to put yourself and your needs on the back-burner, you need to schedule a consultation to learn more about my 1:1 coaching program and how you can get where you want to go and still have nights and weekends to yourself.

The odds of you feeling overwhelmed this holiday season are… high.

Yes, there will be joy.
But let’s stop pretending the joy isn’t usually sandwiched between a whole lot of stress, pressure, and “hold on, I’ll deal with that later.”

I was coaching a client who told me the holidays feel like a test she is destined to fail.

Perfect meal. Perfect house. Perfect family behavior.

You know the drill.

And in chasing perfect, she was missing the point of the season.

This year, we flipped the script. She created a plan that protects her time, energy, and sanity:

• Delegated errands to her partner because she is not the household mule.
• Blocked her calendar for actual memory-making with her kids.
• Paid extra for pre-wrapped gifts because her time is worth more than scissors and tape.
• Said no to commitments that drain her.

The result?

More peace. More presence. More breathing room.

She is enjoying the season instead of recovering from it.

You deserve the same.

But here’s the truth: A joyful holiday doesn’t land in your lap. You create it.

Overwhelm is not inevitable. But without a plan, it’s guaranteed.

If you’re done repeating the same burnout cycle year after year, let’s change it now.

If you want 2026 to be the year you work intentionally instead of reactively, comment “CONSULT” and I’ll send you the link to my calendar.

Let’s build the version of you who actually feels success in 2026; not just survives the week.

P.S. A peaceful, powerful holiday season is just a preview of what your whole year can look like when you have the right support. 😉

#holidayseason #burnoutcoach⁠ #holidaytravel #holidaymishap⁠

One of my clients came to me after receiving the worst performance review of her career.

A woman who had spent her entire life succeeding. She had the credentials, the awards, the promotions, and glowing evaluations, but was suddenly told she was “falling behind.”

She was devastated, embarrassed, and terrified of what it meant for her career.

But she didn’t quit. She booked a Strategy Session with me.

In those three hours, we pulled apart what was actually happening — the workload, the politics, the burnout, the mindset, the habits, the blind spots. We mapped out her “comeback plan,” the exact steps she would take to turn things around.

And she executed the plan.

By her next review cycle, she didn’t just improve.
She jumped from underperforming to significantly exceeds expectations — in the same year.

No unnecessary job hopping.
No chaos.
Just clarity, strategy, and action.

This is what a Strategy Session does.
It gives you the HOW.
It collapses your timeline.
It gives you back power you haven’t felt in years.

Your 3 hours with me can be used for whatever your real dilemma is:

✅️ To decide whether to stay or go in your current role
✅️ To map your Path to Partner (without burning out before you get the title)
✅️ To strategically time family planning around an upcoming promotion
✅️ To repair a disappointing performance review
✅️ To get through your next busy season without needing 3 months to recover
✅️ To double your book of business without doubling your hours
✅️ To end people-pleasing so you can lead with confidence
✅️ To create a healthy routine that actually works with your insane schedule

This is the deep work you keep meaning to do — but haven’t had the structure, strategy, or support to make happen.

And I’m making it easier than ever with Your Next Move, my 3-hour strategic intensive designed to give you clarity, direction, and a plan that actually fits your life.

Your Next Move is where you stop spinning, stop guessing, and start leading.

If you know you need this, then now’s the moment.

Your future self will thank you for not waiting another year.

I love long-term coaching, but sometimes you do not need months of support.⁠
⁠
Sometimes you just need a moment with someone who can help you cut through the noise and to finally make the decision that has been running your life.⁠
⁠
That is what Your Next Move is.⁠
⁠
A 3-hour private strategy session designed to solve the problem you have been carrying for months or honestly, for years.⁠
⁠
Because here is the truth:⁠
⁠
When you have been sitting in the same “Should I stay or should I go?” loop for 3+ years, you do not need more time. You need a container where we lay everything out, sort it, make the decision together, and then map your path forward.⁠
⁠
These sessions change lives because the moment you solve the biggest problem, everything else becomes easier.⁠
⁠
When the main block falls, the rest of the dominoes fall with it.⁠
⁠
Your Next Move is where you stop spinning in circles and start moving forward.⁠
⁠
This is where you make the decision and build the plan.⁠
⁠
This is where clarity becomes action.⁠
⁠
And we are not waiting until January.⁠
⁠
We are acting now while everyone else is still debating.⁠
⁠
Here is everything included in Your Next Move:⁠
✔️ 3-hour strategy session to decide what’s next for your career and build your 2026 plan.⁠
✔️ 90-day and 12-month roadmap outlining your exact next steps.⁠
✔️ Intentional Goal Setting Framework to set clear personal and professional targets.⁠
✔️ Your Success Formula to identify the habits that keep you consistent.⁠
✔️ Lifetime access to the Resource Portal I use with my Freedom clients with trainings on earning more and getting promoted faster.⁠
⁠
The investment is $1,997. Sessions take place in December 2025 or January 2026.⁠
⁠
There are six spots available and enrollment opens Friday, 11/28 at 7am ET.⁠
⁠
Mark your calendar now. These sessions will go quickly.⁠

This Thanksgiving feels different.

My first one as a mom.
My first one navigating work and life with a whole new level of intention.

And honestly… I’m grateful in a way I’ve never been before.

I’m grateful that I chose to build a business that lets me step back without everything collapsing.

I’m grateful that I took a spacious maternity leave and honored what I needed.

I’m grateful that I get to serve clients and firms who are hitting their goals, building healthier teams, and reclaiming their time WITHOUT sacrificing the things that inspired them to work hard in the first place.

This year has shown me what’s possible when you stop grinding and start leading with clarity, boundaries, and strategy.

When you make decisions that support the life you want, not the life you’re tolerating.

When you choose to work intentionally instead of harder.

And I want that for you in 2026.

- If you’ve been stuck in the “stay or go” loop…
- If you’ve pushed your career decisions to “after the holidays”…
- If you know deep down that something needs to shift, your opportunity to break the cycle is happening tomorrow.

Your Next Move, my 3-hour VIP strategic session to decide your next chapter and build the plan for it, opens Black Friday at 7am ET. (UPDATE: OFFER EXPIRED!)

Don’t wait for clarity. Create it.

Doors open TOMORROW.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I’m grateful you’re here. ❤️

99% of networking attendees are looking to "get" something. What if you were the 1% that was looking to "give"?⁠
⁠
I'm often told that networking feels intimidating, but it doesn't have to be.⁠
⁠
Sure, it can feel uncomfortable when you're the Manager approaching a Partner.⁠
⁠
Or when you were recently laid off and looking for a new job.⁠
⁠
Or when you're burned out and the idea of promoting yourself feels painful.⁠
⁠
But the real reason networking feels uncomfortable is because you join the room looking to receive from strangers you don't know. ⁠
⁠
How awkward is that?⁠
⁠
How often do you walk up to a stranger and ask a BIG favor? NEVER.⁠
⁠
This is why you cringe at the thought of networking.⁠
⁠
But I have a secret for you: ⁠
⁠
Instead of asking FOR something, decide to GIVE something.⁠
⁠
Even if you aren't top leadership, you're valuable.⁠
Even if you're without work, you're valuable.⁠
Even if you feel the least confident you've ever been, you're valuable.⁠
⁠
No matter what your current job situation is, you have something valuable to offer to someone else.⁠
⁠
I've been inside manyyyyyy networking rooms, and I've tested many approaches.⁠
⁠
The ones that have been the most successful?⁠
⁠
Show up for THEM. ⁠
⁠
Listen to THEM.⁠
⁠
Offer your expertise (when asked) to THEM.⁠
⁠
If you join a networking event expecting to get, you can expect to leave with a bunch of business cards, but no genuine relationships.⁠
⁠
You want a long-term strategy for growth? Give.⁠
⁠
I love my quarterly virtual networking events because at the end of each session, I run a segment called "GIVES and GETS". ⁠
⁠
Participants offer ways that they can add value, and I'm always in awe of what I see.⁠
⁠
What's also really fun? Someone's "give" is often another woman's "get", which makes the perfect pairing for a future connection/opportunity.⁠
⁠
Want to experience a room of giving? ⁠
⁠
Join me next Friday for Virtual Networking. This is one hour you won't want to miss.⁠

There’s a part of you that thinks your career slump is your fault.⁠
⁠
That if you just worked harder, pushed more, or “figured it out,” you’d finally break through.⁠
⁠
You’ve been conditioned to believe that your challenges are a you problem.⁠
So instead of asking for help, you start planning your escape.⁠
⁠
But after 13+ years in corporate and 10+ running a business, here’s the truth: There’s no such thing as a self-made woman.⁠
⁠
You didn’t get here alone, and you won’t rise to your next level alone either.⁠
⁠
The biggest shift I ever made was letting myself be supported.⁠
⁠
Having the right women in my corner didn’t just make hard seasons easier; it made success inevitable.⁠
⁠
And that’s exactly what I want for you heading into 2026.⁠
⁠
If you want next year to look different, surround yourself with women who are already doing it differently.⁠
⁠
The ones who lift each other up, open doors, and remind you what’s possible.⁠
⁠
My next Virtual Networking Event for Professional Women is happening Friday, 11/21 @ 12:30 PM ET.⁠
⁠
This is your chance to get in the room.⁠
⁠
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to show up.⁠
⁠
Because the women who will be getting that new job or that big promotion in 2026?⁠
⁠
She's building their network now.⁠
⁠

“I needed to get my act together—at work and at home.”

That’s where Lauren S. was when she found me.

She was pregnant with her second child and eyeing a Managing Director promotion.

And she knew both required a solid plan if she wasn't going to burnout.

➡️ “It was very clear to me that there were things I needed to be doing now in order to position myself for that MD role.”

She stopped spiraling about the “what ifs” and started making moves with clarity and control.

Here's what we accomplished in our first 45 days of working together:

✔️ Outlined the scope and impact of her $5M+ book of business clearly articulating what she led, owned, and delivered

✔️ Volunteered for high-visibility initiatives and client proposals to signal readiness for promotion

✔️ Developed a coverage plan for maternity leave that showcased leadership and set her up for success on return

➡️ “Lauren made it okay to talk about ambition and motherhood in the same breath.”

If you’re ready to show up for the next level in your career without losing yourself in the process, this is your sign.

📣 DOORS FOR FREEDOM HAVE OFFICIALLY REOPENED! 📣

Who knew that a virtual conference could be so engaging, so valuable, and so much FUN!

I did my best to pop into most sessions, and I must say that everyone’s contributions at #workflowcon were fabulous! Celebrating the speakers and the 4,800+ participants!

And a special shoutout to MC @thefun_cpa for the warmest introduction and for honoring my request for some good ol’ NJ fist-pumping to kick-start my keynote.

And a big thank you to the team at @financial_cents for inviting me to Keynote at #workflowcon2025... and for the swag. I officially have my new favorite sweatshirt. :)

It’s happening soon…

One hour of real conversations with like-minded leaders.
One hour of connection with women you’ll actually want to follow up with.
One hour of inspiration and forward movement in your career.

Next Friday, 11/21 from 12:30–1:30 PM ET, I’m hosting my quarterly Virtual Networking Event for professional women—a space to meet, connect, and build genuine community with ambitious, powerhouse leaders like you.

And I know what you’re thinking: “Will this be worth my time?”

Here’s what past attendees said:
⭐️ “One of the best networking events I’ve ever attended.”
⭐️ “Loved the energy, the structure, and the women in the room.”
⭐️ “So genuine and inspiring—I left fired up.”
⭐️ “Perfect mix of connection and purpose.”

This event keeps growing—but it still feels personal. You’ll leave with new insights, real connections, and the kind of energy that propels your next move.

If you missed the last one, this is your sign not to miss it again.

Bring your coffee, your confidence, and your goals. Let’s finish the year strong and set the tone for 2026.

👯‍♀️ This is where women rise together.

Let's just say that I don't network like most... and I wouldn't have it any other way.⁠
⁠
When we’re leading teams or running our businesses, we have no one to share our challenges with. The isolation and need to “figure it out on my own” is a recipe for failure. (It’s no wonder why less women make it to the top, and those there struggle to keep it together!)⁠
⁠
As part of my mission to support the hardest-working women, I’m creating the community I wish existed. I invite you to join my quarterly virtual networking event to build valuable and authentic relationships, tap into new resources, and expand your customer base/referral sources.⁠
⁠
Here’s what you can expect:⁠
⁠
✨ Custom breathwork session to find calm, inspire action and build momentum for your career.⁠
⁠
💬 Small breakout sessions to facilitate genuine networking and collaboration.⁠

💡 An opportunity to make your personal + professional goals a reality!⁠

YOU'RE INVITED 💌⁠ Virtual Networking For Women Professionals on Friday, 11/21!⁠
⁠
When you're leading teams or running your business, it's common to feel isolated and have no one to share your challenges with for fear of retribution. ⁠
⁠
Adding insult to injury, the need to “figure it out on my own” is daunting (and let's be honest, it never gets prioritized). ⁠
⁠
It’s no wonder why less women make it to the top, and those who do struggle to keep it together!⁠
⁠
As part of my mission to equip the hardest-working women with the tools and support for career success without personal sacrifice, I’m creating the community I wish existed. ⁠
⁠
Join my upcoming virtual networking event to build valuable and authentic relationships with other professional women, tap into new resources, and expand your customer base/referral sources.⁠
⁠
Here’s what you can expect:⁠
⁠
✨ Custom breathwork session to find calm, inspire thoughtful dialogue and build momentum for your career.⁠
💬 Small breakout sessions to facilitate genuine networking and collaboration.⁠
💡 An opportunity to make your personal + professional goals a reality!⁠
⁠
Here is the agenda that we will follow:⁠
⁠
- 15 minutes of introductions, breathwork and intention setting ⁠
- 35 minutes small group guided discussions⁠
- 10 minutes to 'make an ask' (i.e., promote something you have coming up, request a referral connection or whatever you might need). ⁠

📣PSA: My 1:1 coaching consults reopen to the public on Wednesday, November 17 (SAVE THE DATE!)⁠
⁠
⁠
You’ve been waiting and the time is almost here. ⁠
⁠
If you’ve been watching other women in my community rise into promotions, raises, and peace of mind, this is your chance to do the same. ⁠
⁠
I'm only enrolling new clients who are ready to: ⁠
⁠
✅ Earn $100k more without working more ⁠
✅ Reclaim 10 hours of extra free time each week ⁠
✅ Lead with confidence instead of exhaustion ⁠
✅ Stop wondering if this is all there is, and finally have the life you want⁠
⁠
My 6-month program is the exact support you need to create the time freedom and financial freedom you've been chasing for years. ⁠
⁠
Set your alarms. This is your time. ⁠
⁠
2026 is your year... and it starts now.

I am absolutely in love with the life I’ve created. I get to travel and speak on the most epic stages with the most inspiring people about burnout, boundaries & balance.⁠

Next week I’m keynoting at @financial_cents #WorkflowCon2025 with my most in-demand topic.
⁠⁠
Do you want to be next on the list?⁠
⁠
I'm currently booking for 2026. DM me to lock in your event before my calendar is full!⁠

P.S. Want to catch me live? Join next week’s event as my guest. DM me for the link.

When I realized that my body was breaking out in hives, I started to panic. ⁠
⁠
I’ve never had hives. ⁠
⁠
I needed immediate support, but the only medical support available to me was the nearest ER, 20 minutes away. ⁠
⁠
On my way out of the hotel restaurant, my manager reminded me: “bring your laptop with you.” ❌WRONG #1❌⁠
⁠
I didn’t think twice. I grabbed my laptop and got into the cab, heading to the ER. ❌⁠WRONG #2❌⁠
⁠
I was discharged around 2am. I intentionally emailed my team so that they could see the time stamp, and I said, “I was on the way back to the hotel and would I’d meet at our regular time in a few hours.” ❌⁠WRONG #3❌⁠
⁠
I didn’t feel up to going in, but I didn’t feel like I had a choice. ❌⁠WRONG #4❌⁠
⁠
A few hours later, I went back to work. 🤦🏻‍♀️⁠
⁠
From the moment we arrived at the client’s office, and as we were unpacking our laptops, my manager asked me, “What were you able to work on last night?”⁠
⁠
Like clockwork, I felt hives begin to spread all over my body. Again.⁠
⁠
My skin felt hot and my sense of control over the day seemed to slip from my grasp. ⁠
⁠
I thought: “Didn’t he get my email?”, “Doesn’t he care at all?”, “WTF?!”⁠
⁠
I excused myself and went to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror and noticed the tomato-colored skin that was taking over my body... AGAIN! ⁠
⁠⁠⁠
I uncomfortably excused myself from the office and went back to the ER for a second time.⁠
⁠
How is this possible? What is going on?! WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME!?!?!⁠
⁠
⁠
❌WHAT WENT WRONG HERE:❌⁠
1. Do not ask someone headed to the hospital to work in the waiting room.⁠ ⁠
⁠
2. Have the courage to tell your team that you will not be working from the hospital. Communicate your needs clearly and as soon as you can.⁠
⁠
3. Request the time off that you need. Don’t expect others to give it to you. Speak up and advocate for yourself.⁠
⁠
4. When you don’t feel good, don’t go into the office. No job is ever worth your health or wellbeing. Period.⁠
⁠
⁠⁠
▶️ Which of these have you used for yourself or used to advocate for a colleague? 1, 2, 3 and/or 4? Share below.👇🏼⁠

Here’s the permission you’ve been waiting all year for.

If you’re tempted to start every awkward conversation, lingering to-do, or half-baked commitment with “Let’s circle back after the holidays”… you’re not alone. I’ve been dropping this line for years—only now, I use it differently.

I use it when I actually mean it, not as a stall tactic for something I’ll never want to do in the first place.

Because there’s a big difference between intentionally deferring something that matters… and procrastinating on something you secretly have no interest in doing at all.

Here’s the catch—January comes, and instead of a clean slate, you’ve inherited a pile of coffees, meetings, and commitments that no longer fit your life or priorities. You’ve simply traded one form of overwhelm for another.

That’s why I’m giving you permission to stop punting everything to “later” and start making intentional decisions now. That might mean:

- Saying “no” outright instead of deferring.
- Negotiating a smaller ask (email instead of a meeting).
- Offering an alternative that works for your schedule and energy.
- Releasing the guilt when you choose your well-being over someone else’s convenience.

If you’re someone who prides themselves on keeping their word, I get it. This will feel uncomfortable at first, but let’s be honest: what’s flakier—saying “no” now, or showing up miserable (or bailing last minute) in January?

This is exactly what I work on with clients in my signature program Freedom: deciding what gets done, delegated, deferred, or deleted—with far less guilt.

If you’re already feeling stretched too thin, now is the time to change that. Stop handing January your stress on a silver platter. Set your boundaries now so you start the new year with ease.

🚪 DID YOU KNOW!? Doors are reopening soon for my 1:1 coaching consults. Make sure you’re on the waitlist so you’re the first to know when spots open—because they're going to move fast!

Partnerships. Promotions. Pay raises.⁠
Vacations where no one checked email. 👀⁠
⁠
These aren’t random wins.⁠
They’re what happens when ambitious women work with me and learn how to lead their careers instead of being run by them.⁠
⁠
This isn’t theory. It’s strategy that gets results: more money, more confidence and more time freedom.⁠
⁠
You can have this too.⁠
⁠
Comment WAITLIST and let’s make it happen.

“I knew I wasn’t okay—but I didn’t know how to fix it.”

Cristine wasn’t pulling 100-hour weeks.
But burnout? It was real.

“I was overwhelmed, burned out, and stuck. I was spending time with my family, but I wasn’t present.”

She’s a high-performing leader. She’s smart, self-aware, and grounded. But she still hit a wall.

And like so many professionals in billable-hour roles, she thought:

“This is just what the job is. Maybe I just need to push through.”

Until she stopped pushing—and started working with me instead.

Inside Freedom, we didn’t just “work on mindset.” We built structure:

- A custom success formula she uses daily, weekly, and monthly
- Boundaries that preserved energy instead of draining it
- Real strategies to prioritize relationships, not just work deliverables

And the results?

✅ She’s back in a fitness routine—several times per week—for the first time in years

✅ She and her husband have regular date nights again, something that had slipped away

✅ A team member said: “Hey—I noticed what you’re doing, and it’s awesome”

✅ She no longer comes home emotionally heavy or carries her team’s stress

✅ She rebuilt her confidence and started truly enjoying the life and job she already had

“I didn’t need a new job. I needed new tools. And I have them now.”

If you’re a high-achieving professional who’s quietly wondering if this is all there is… this isn’t normal. And you don’t have to normalize it.

Here's what you can do instead:

Join the waitlist for Freedom.

My doors are currently closed for new clients, but they’ll open veryyyy again soon.

And the professionals on the waitlist?

They are creating space to show up fully—at work and at home.
They are building systems now that actually stick.
They will be first to get access when doors reopen.

Because regaining clarity, confidence, and control doesn’t happen in a crisis.

It starts with a choice to lead differently—before you’re forced to.
