The Founders + Freelancers Intensive
If you’re running your own thing — business, freelance work, creative practice, or team — and you’re capable and driven but tired of carrying everything alone, this program is designed to give you space to think clearly, strategize with support, and steady your energy without burnout.
If you’re not sure you can keep going at your current pace — but you’re not sure how to change it, this is for you.
This focused, one-on-one intensive is designed for people who are navigating decisions, holding responsibility, and thinking seriously about how they want to work and lead.
It’s not about doing more.
It’s about doing what matters — with more support and less strain.
WHAT IT IS
This is a contained, one-on-one intensive running over a defined period of time, designed to help you:
Clarify your priorities
Untangle decisions that feel heavy or muddy
Strengthen how you manage your energy, focus, and leadership
Create a doable, realistic plan for the year ahead
This stuff lives at the intersection of performance and wellbeing — because the work and the human behind it aren’t separate.
This is not open-ended coaching.
It’s a purposeful period of focused support, built for what you need, right now.
HOW WE’LL WORK TOGETHER
You’ll get private, one-on-one coaching and consulting that draws on:
Leadership and executive coaching
Integrative wellness and nervous system regulation
Applied neuroscience and behavior change
Combined with my 15+ years of real-world experience building and leading companies and teams.
Alongside coaching, I’ll bring in consulting where it’s useful — frameworks, honest feedback, practical strategy, and pattern recognition — always in service of clarity and forward movement.
WHO THIS INTENSIVE IS FOR
This container is built for people who:
Work for themselves or hold significant responsibility
Are capable, ambitious, and feeling stretched or overloaded

You might be:
Starting something new
Growing or recalibrating
Managing people (or preparing to)
Feeling stuck, tired, or quietly close to burnout
Wondering what’s next — even if you haven’t named it yet
You don’t need to be in crisis.
You just need to want a smarter, more sustainable way forward.

Practical, integrated tools customized to you, which may include:
