WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Sara is a gifted coach and invaluable source of support during the always challenging process of exploring career pathways. An expert "sounding board" who brings wisdom, compassion, empathy, humor and patience (all of which are invaluable).
Jacquelyn D.
Sara’s coaching really gave me the extra (and gentle) push that I needed to make my career transition easier and smoother. I can’t recommend her enough, and I am sure her enthusiasm and insights will be as valuable to others as they have been to me!
Lena L.
Working with Sara was truly life-changing. She helped me zoom in on what's important, craft an action plan to invest in my priorities, and held me accountable in a gentle and loving way. The result: I was able to increase my income while doing the things I love.
Roxanne M.
After a traumatic experience at work, I'd lost all of my confidence and started doubting if having a career was even worth the stress and time. But thanks to Sara's coaching, I was able to turn over a new leaf and rediscover my passion and drive at work.
Mandy W.
As a busy mom of three kids, I struggled to prioritize my own health for many years. Sara helped me uncover both what was holding me back and find the clarity and motivation to move forward. With her help, I was able to make positive changes to my health even while starting a new job. I feel better and have more energy for my family and work!

As a Mom, I Never Practiced Self-Care — Until a Cold Changed Everything
Motherhood And Ambition

We all need family and friends in our life to help support us – and having a strong support network is a key ingredient for personal and professional success.

Between my own hard learned experiences, research trends and supporting clients, I’ve discovered that it takes a bit more thought for moms returning to work. Whether it’s the transition itself, or because a mom is depressed about going back to work after maternity leave, or conflicted about returning to her role, or because she’s worried about how to get a job after being a stay-at-home mom for 20 years, it’s not as simple as ‘go to work and collect a paycheck.’

How to move your career with success.

My simple advice for moms to help make self-care a priority. 

As my children have grown older, I’ve realized that the challenge of being a working mother isn’t the voluminous tasks, but the existential struggle between motherhood and my ambition for my career.
