Work With Me

You’re stuck in a 9-to-5 (or 6, or 7…) and you’re zapped from navigating office politics, disorganization, or plain old boredom. You know there must be a better way to put your skills to use, but have no idea where to start.

You’re stuck in a 9-to-5 (or 6, or 7…) and you’re zapped from navigating office politics, disorganization, or plain old boredom. You know there must be a better way to put your skills to use, but have no idea where to start.

You’ve hustled, paid your dues, and done everything “right.” The reward for all your hard work? Burnout. Overwhelm. Disconnection. You think it might be time to step off the career ladder, but have no idea what success even means outside of the grind.

You’re juggling so many responsibilities as an entrepreneur that you feel like the true work of your business is always on the back burner, but slowing down and recalibrating feels impossible, especially on your own.

You’re juggling so many responsibilities as an entrepreneur that you feel like the true work of your business is always on the back burner, but slowing down and recalibrating feels impossible, especially on your own.

You want to live a vibrant, rich life, but too often it feels like work is getting in the way.

It’s so easy in these moments to double-down, especially when we live in a society that tells us that we’re only as good as the money we make, the hours we put in, or the title we tack on the bottom of our email signatures. 

So you get another certification, pull another all-nighter,
or add another offer in the hopes of–finally–making it.

But the target for “success” just keeps on moving, and you strive and strive only to stay trapped in the same cycle–even though you know, deep in your bones, that work is just one part of what success actually means to you.

Believe me, it's not you

what we do together

Build your confidence by taking action based on what success means to you without stretching yourself thin or taking on more risk than you can handle.

Let go of someone else’s idea of success and tune in to what’s true for you–
your vision, values, needs, aspirations, boundaries, and everything in between to create a rich and meaningful life.

Learn from what works and develop
the habit of experimenting, iterating, and growing into the person you want to be, in work and in life.

Align

Connect

Grow

It can be hard to find the signal through all the noise, but when you slow down, tune in, and connect with what you really want for your life, then you can make your work work for you.

Whether you work for yourself or someone else, we’ll build a strong foundation of clarity and confidence to transform your relationship to work.

We’ll also address the specific challenges and opportunities you face based on where you are in the working world–from starting up a solo business to pivoting careers to reentering the workforce.

Together, we'll design the strategy to bring your vision to life so that your work works for you.

Client Success Stories

Even though i have been an entrepreneur for years, working with adrien was a fast track to improving my shortcomings. she guided me through my blocks with compassion while offering concrete tools that would have taken me so long to learn on my own. she helped to organize my busy thoughts and simplified the next right action, not to mention how to charge my worth. after each session i felt empowered and aligned with my next steps in business. Working with adrien was a game changer, and the most valuable investment i have ever made in my career.

Working with Adrien as my coach was an absolute treat. She is a terrific listener who listens without judgment. During our sessions, she continually provides valuable insights to help me reflect and think deeper about some of the challenges I've been facing… I highly, highly recommend the opportunity to work with Adrien if you are looking for someone who can be your sounding board and guide you to become closer to the person you want to be.

Now more than ever, I can differentiate between what I actually want and what I'm supposed to want or what my culture has trained me to want. I was in many ways already challenging those norms and asking those questions going in, but Adrien's course very much reinforced that.
I have a much clearer picture of where I want to go with my career and the type of working lifestyle that I want for myself. Having the structure and the support of the group and Adrien, make it less scary and actually kind of fun. Now I feel just a bit lighter knowing that I have a direction, and also being reassured that I'm on the path to getting there.
