For more than a decade, I’ve helped people and organizations navigate change.

Before becoming a mom, I worked in tech as a program manager and Learning & Development leader, partnering with engineers and business leaders to build learning programs. Alongside that work, I spent years coaching clients through meaningful personal change. I loved my work. I enjoyed creating meaningful experiences and helping people move forward with confidence.

Then, one month before my daughter was born, I was laid off.

I knew becoming a mom would be hard, but I did not expect how challenging it would feel. In addition to caring for a baby, motherhood stirred up questions about every area of my life. I remember sitting in the playpen, crying, and wondering, Who am I now? I found myself questioning what I wanted and whether the life I had worked so hard to build still fit me.

I reached a point where I knew something had to change. I could keep feeling stuck and disconnected from myself, or I could ask for support and begin finding a way forward. I decided to work with a coach.

Coaching gave me space to slow down, reconnect with my values, and begin making changes in my life. I realized I did not want to return to the version of life I had known before. I was not trying to become who I had been before motherhood. I was becoming someone new.

That experience made me curious about how other moms were navigating their own transitions. As I began talking with women about motherhood, I realized how many were feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure what came next.

Some were barely keeping their heads above water. Others were functioning well on the outside but quietly wondering:

• Who am I now?

• What do I want my life to look like?

• How do I balance what I need with what everyone else needs from me?

• How do I start to feel like myself again?

• What does success look like in this season?

Those conversations confirmed something I had begun to understand through my own experience: moms rarely need more information. They need space and support to get clear on what matters most now so they can make decisions with greater confidence.

This is what led me back to coaching.

Today, I help ambitious moms navigate the identity shifts, competing priorities, and questions about what comes next in their season of motherhood. Together, we identify what is no longer working, reconnect with what matters, and create a more grounded and fulfilling way forward.

I believe one of the greatest gifts a mom can give her family is the chance to witness her feeling supported, fulfilled, and connected to herself. Her well-being shapes the life they share.

If you’re ready to create more of that in your own life, I’d love to talk.
