COACHING FOR TEAM LEADERS WITH BIG JOBS AND YOUNG KIDS

What if your success didn’t come at the cost of your joy?

Hey there, I’m Carolyn.

If you are a team leader who is overwhelmed by the endless demands of work stress and family life, you’re in the right place.

I want you to know it’s possible to bring a sense of joy back to your daily interactions - and I mean everything from your Slack DMs to your dinner prep for the family.

You don’t need to quit your job to feel like yourself again. You just need to reconnect to your innate ability to set boundaries and experience the goodness of life. It’s time to enjoy the success you’ve worked so hard for.

You’ve worked tirelessly to get your career to where it is, yet some days you find yourself wishing for a lottery ticket out…

You wake up tired, getting caffeinated while juggling the kids’ breakfast before diving into the usual flood of pings. From the moment your feet hit the floor, you feel pulled in every direction.

At work, you’ve gotten used to a feeling of tension. You might secretly worry how you’re being perceived, and continually push yourself to meet the demands of life that never stop escalating. Back-to-back meetings, endless questions, constant messages - everybody needs you.

At the end of the day, you’re exhausted. Yet, it’s hard to switch off - so you keep scrolling Slack, or the news, your body buzzing with stress. Then the guilt hits: your kids are only young once, but it feels impossible to fully enjoy your time with them. Sometimes you wonder “Is this really it?”

You’re ready to reclaim your well-being, presence and joy.

If you want to love your work again, wake up with a spark instead of dreading the day ahead, and truly enjoy life outside the office with your family, friends, and yourself, let’s talk.

I have a long track-record of supporting team leaders with big jobs and young kids who feel drained by endless demands, Together we’ll create a system and structure, so you can set boundaries that actually stick, perform at your best without burning out, and finally be able to relax at the end of the day.

I know you’re borderline fed up. And I want you to know it’s possible to show up fully where it counts. To be present with your kids, connected to your partner, and genuinely engaged with your work.

I want you to rediscover joy in your work and personal life, without guilt or stress weighing you down. I want you to know that your success and your wellbeing can coexist.

"Through her coaching, I was able to gain clarity on my career transition, assess and solve problems with a growth mindset, and explore new perspectives when approaching challenges in life and work. Carolyn is authentic, collaborative, and has a genuine interest in understanding my story and needs. It was truly a privilege to work with her."

Esther Nai, Global Strategic Philanthropy Leader, Salesforce
"Carolyn helped me see my anxiety as data, not a flaw. By the end of our sessions, I had a clearer lens on what I wanted to create next and permission to lead from self-trust instead of perfection. If you want a coach who actually understands the pressure of executive roles and still insists you lead like a whole person, work with Carolyn."

Heidi Isern, SVP Product Marketing, Ordergroove
"It has been a few months since our sessions have ended and I've been able to take the methods I learnt from our sessions to continue to evolve and deeply understand myself, my situation, and my surroundings. I finally feel empowered to take charge of my life and to make the changes I want to see for myself and my family. One of the most important things I learned in our coaching was the fact that I CAN..."

I get it because I’ve lived it. I worked my way up through the rungs of the leadership ladder, hitting targets, getting promoted, and doing everything “right.” Success felt good, but I was also tired of constantly stretching myself to be what everyone else needed me to be.

I knew I needed something deeper to fulfill me, but I had no sweet clue how to find it. I was having so much difficulty sleeping that I needed the equivalent of a tranquilizer pill to put me out. I was feeling disconnected at work to the point where I seriously considered leaving my thriving corporate career to flip houses.

I was looking for answers in every radio ad, Instagram post, and job posting that crossed my path. I was giving my power away to “experts,” and doing everything possible not to look at myself.

“The answers are inside of you.” When a coach said these words to me, it was like the world stopped spinning on its axis for a moment. I knew what she was saying was true. And it was also a very frustrating thing to hear. Because I had no clue how to find those answers.

“The answers are inside of you" propelled me onto a path: a new way of being in the world that wasn’t seeking instant gratification or relief. It was a process of excavation that led me back to the power of my heart and the wisdom of my body.

I kept going in corporate life, but I started deepening my connection to myself. I got promoted 3 times, while becoming a reiki practitioner and an ICF-certified coach on the side.

Today I combine all of the tools that helped me into paradigm-shifting programs for my clients. Through science-backed tools and energy management techniques, my clients learn to befriend their inner critic, build unshakeable confidence, reconnect to an inspiring vision for their lives, and feel more joyful, energized, and authentically themselves every day.
