I help ambitious parents rise into C-Suite -track roles without losing their evenings, weekends, or sanity inside my executive career advisory
The story you tell yourself about not being ready? Let's rewrite it.
we have the same problem every ambitious Parent who came before us had
You’ve got the drive, senior - level qualifications, and a family. You just don’t have the confidence that an executive-level role makes sense with young kids.
You’ve done everything right. You delivered the results. You earned the trust. You built the reputation people like to reference in meetings. And yet, the leap to the C-suite still feels oddly out of reach because the path forward is opaque and unforgiving. Senior roles ask for more authority, more availability, and more emotional labor, often without a clear proportional return. On paper, it’s a step up. In practice, you wonder if it will be a bad trade.
And then there’s the real math. After taxes, childcare, rent or mortgage payments, and the cost of being perpetually “on,” the upside starts to blur. Staying where you are feels safer because you already know how to manage this level of chaos. You know you’re capable of more, but you’re not willing to sacrifice the life you’ve built for a title that doesn’t truly add up.
Too many demands. Too little margin. Not enough after-tax income.
That's the math many fear when they consider bigger roles.
Enter stage right - I act as your personal chief of staff for the career decisions that have outsize impact on your family, time, and sanity. Together, we decide whether a move is truly worth making, set the conditions for success before you arrive, and navigate the transition so you can actually thrive once you’re there. My job is to help you stay in the high-powered job you earned without burning out before you reap the rewards. The first year in a C-suite role is intense - I know because I lived it! With me as a coach, you eliminate the urge to quit when the heat is hottest.
Before working with her, I was doing mental gymnastics every day - trying to win at work without dropping the parenting ball and wondering if I should really pursue the open leadership role. One career strategy plan later, I had a plan, real tools, and the drive to win. Also: I got the job. I am making $225K more than before with my family life intact.

Because everyone’s starting somewhere and progress should feel doable, not daunting.
1
Executive Readiness review
This two-hour consultation is for senior leaders deciding whether an executive role is actually worth pursuing. Before you invest time, political capital, or family bandwidth, we build a decision framework to evaluate target positions, your readiness and prospects for the role, and the real trade-offs involved. You leave with a reusable decision tool that gives clear apply, don’t apply, or not yet recommendation plus guidance on application gaps, résumé positioning, and the questions you need answered before you raise your hand.

Career Strategy plan
This is a 3-month, executive-level career planning engagement provided at the same rigor that a world-class financial planner would deliver a financial plan. Together, we design a personal career strategy designed to evolve with your life. I go beyond the typical career coach by identifying what you actually need before you leap, creating a 6-month career operating plan, building decision frameworks for you, and analyzing the economics of the role. Two dedicated deep-dive sessions plus two months of post-plan voice coaching = success.

Ongoing Strategic Oversight
This is a limited availability advisory for senior leaders who have an offer in hand or are about to sign an offer. The first year of a senior role is the most taxing. Over 12 months, I prepare you both during your garden leave and serve as a C-Suite advisor during your transition. Big decisions require time to resolve, so we revisit priorities, trade-offs, and direction as real-life shifts. You get a C-suite partner co-navigating your executive transformation and providing sound judgment when you start doubting whether you made the right move.
What if career growth actually increased your family time?
Wild thought, right? But that’s exactly what happens when you're able to comfortably outsource daily tasks so that the entire weekend is available for your family to spend together. Stop second-guessing yourself and finally make the career plan that grows your work and personal legacy side by side.
I came in feeling behind — like I should never have applied for this new C-suite role. I left with custom AI tools, a clear strategy, and the wild idea that maybe I can have both ambition and presence. Turns out, they make each other stronger.
