Oh Good, You're Here

I was wondering when you'd show up.

Let me guess: You’re the woman who looks like she has it all together. Good job. Strong resume. People assume you’re thriving because you’re still answering emails, making decisions, remembering the things, and keeping the wheels on the bus.

Meanwhile, the bus is on fire and someone just asked if you can “circle back.”

You’re here, on a career coach’s website, at whatever time it is, because something’s off.

Maybe it’s the job. Maybe it’s the company. Maybe it’s the whole career. Maybe it’s the version of success you built your life around.

Either way, you’re tired of pretending this is fine.

Good. Let's get into it.

So What's Actually Going On?

You’re tired. Not sleepy tired. Though probably that too.

Tired tired.

You’ve been running on fumes and telling everyone you’re fine. You’re not fine.

And yes, this probably started as a career question.

Should I stay?
Should I leave?
Should I pivot?
Am I bored, burned out, underused, over it, or just being dramatic?

But career questions rarely stay neatly in the career lane. Annoying, but true.

Because the job is tangled up with your energy, your money, your identity, your ambition, your responsibilities, your boundaries, and your need to be seen as the woman who can handle it.

And when you try to talk about it, people hit you with the greatest hits:

  • "Be grateful you have a job." 

  • "Everyone's stressed."

  •  "Have you tried meditation?"

(If one more person suggests meditation when what you actually need is a real plan, I swear.)

What You Actually Want

You’re not trying to burn it all down and move to a yurt in the great unknown.

Unless you are. No judgment. Yurts seem cozy.

Here's What I Do

I help women figure out what’s actually wrong, what they actually want, and what to do next in their careers without ignoring the life underneath the career question.

Sometimes what’s next is a whole new career.

Sometimes it’s the same career at a different company that doesn’t make you want to scream into a throw pillow.

Sometimes it’s staying where you are, but with actual boundaries. Revolutionary concept, I know.

Sometimes the job was never the whole problem. It was just where the bigger problem finally got loud enough to hear.

The identity stuff.
The worth stuff.
The burnout stuff.
The ambition stuff.

The “why am I so good at a life that doesn’t feel good?” stuff.

We figure out what’s true for YOU.
NOT what worked for your sister-in-law.
NOT what some guy on LinkedIn said.

YOU.

How I'm Different
(Since You're Probably Wondering)

I don’t have a proprietary 7-step system. I’m not going to make you take a quiz and tell you you’re a “Golden Retriever” or whatever.

What I do have:

  • Real coaching training. I completed a two-year coaching certification program and am accredited by the International Coaching Federation. This is not a weekend-certificate-and-a-ring-light situation.

  • Multiple career and life pivots under my belt. I’ve been the woman in the “this looks great on paper but I’m dying inside” situation. More than once. I figured it out. Now I help other women do the same.

  • Zero tolerance for BS. Yours or mine. I ask hard questions. I push when you’re avoiding. I see through the stories you’ve been telling yourself. Usually within the first 10 minutes. It’s a gift.

  • A holistic approach to career coaching. Yes, we talk about work. But we do not pretend your career exists in a vacuum, untouched by your energy, responsibilities, relationships, identity, money, or capacity. That would be cute. Also false.

  • Actual results. My clients get unstuck. They make moves. Some leave. Some stay. Some change careers. Some change how they move through the career they already have. All of them end up in a better place than where they started.

This Is For You If:

✓ You’re smart, capable, and so done pretending everything is fine

✓ You want career support that doesn’t ignore your actual life

✓ You want someone who’ll be honest, not just nice

✓ You’re ready to do real work, not just vent

✓ You have a sense of humor, because this whole being-an-adult thing is absurd

This Is NOT For You If:

✗ You only want someone to fix your resume

✗ You want someone to just tell you what to do

✗ You need constant reassurance without being challenged

✗ You’re looking for a quick fix

✗‍ ‍You take yourself extremely seriously at all times

✗‍ ‍You think “just be grateful” is useful career advice

What Clients Say

  • Moira B.

    “I can’t recommend working with Lauren enough. Because of the work we did together, not only did I gain clarity and a sense of purpose in my career, but those changes rippled outward—every aspect of my life has improved. It’s been a truly transformative experience. Without Lauren’s guidance, understanding, and expertise, I would still be living like a shell of myself. Through our work, I was able to identify what really matters to me. And when I veered off track (which happens when you’re struggling!), she gently helped guide me back. I never felt pushed or judged—Lauren met me exactly where I was, always offered truthful feedback, and helped me move forward without ever dictating my path.

    In my new role, I feel valued and appreciated in ways I never imagined. My colleagues recognize my contributions, and leadership has praised my work—one leader even told me I “saved the day” during a critical inspection. The environment is inspiring, and I feel energized and excited about what I do. I love my work again. Because of those changes, my entire energy has shifted. My outlook on life—and my place in it—is completely different. I went from being unsure of myself and my direction to someone who is excited about life and confident in whatever I do. Lauren helped me find my own answers, and now I have a renewed sense of purpose and fulfillment in not just my career, but in my entire life. Working with Lauren didn’t just change my career—it helped me step into who I truly am, and I’ll carry that with me for the rest of my life.”

  • Julia Z.

    “I found myself at a crossroads more like a seven point intersection and after interviewing a few coaches, none could match the feeling of relief I felt after my intro call with Lauren.

    Her logical, direct working style (maybe it’s the legal background) was a comfort. As we worked together, I respected how she would challenge my thinking and push me to see progress and options where I previously saw none.

    At a vulnerable time Lauren helped me re-identify my professional values, parse out options, prepare behavioral interview responses, and rework my material materials. Lauren’s sturdy partnership during this time helped me find my footing and build a strong foundation for how I find opportunities and present myself for them. Gratitude doesn’t even begin to describe it.”

  • Sheri B.

    “Juggling multiple roles in my business it's difficult to have any kind of work/life balance. Lauren helped me add some structure to my life by focusing on what was important to me, as well as prioritizing which tasks will get me closer to my goals. Lauren's coaching help shift my perspective from "I don't have time for that" to "Woah, I can get that done!", by helping me organize my schedule and allot time in for self-care. Each session with her left me totally energized! Thanks Lauren!”

  • Nahir T.

    “Lauren is a terrific career coach and offers a roadmap to help those exploring next chapters identify their interests, possible paths forward, and how to position themselves for aligned opportunities.

    I really appreciate her coaching process, with grounded assessments and practical exercises that you can apply in the real world. Lauren is refreshingly candid, funny, and no-nonsense in her coaching style. She is an excellent accountability partner for folks who are ready to roll up their sleeves and take serious next steps toward exploring and pursuing new career paths. I highly recommend her for folks exploring career transitions and looking to position themselves for what's next.”

  • Roberta H.

    “I met Lauren earlier this year by way of my professional network. I was between jobs in my 20+ year career and needed help with a skills assessment and clarity on what direction was best for me. Over our 5 sessions, Lauren helped me really define my skills & what energizes me, how & where to focus my job search, and she kicked off my job search process with a refreshed resumé and LinkedIn profile. Lauren is incredibly smart, hilarious, down to earth and approachable. If you're at any transition or inflection point in your career and want help gaining clarity and confidence, I definitely recommend her!”

  • Zehra N.

    “Working with Lauren was a game-changer. She completely transformed my LinkedIn profile, helping me articulate my story in a way that felt authentic, compelling, and aligned with my goals. What once felt overwhelming became a clear, engaging narrative that truly reflects my expertise. Lauren has a unique ability to translate complex career paths into a strong, marketable personal brand. Her insight and strategic approach go beyond just making a profile look good. She positions you for real opportunities. If you need resume help, LinkedIn optimization, or a stronger personal brand, I can’t recommend Lauren enough. Her work makes a lasting impact!”

  • Juanita N.

    “I'm so glad to have Lauren in my corner while I was going through my career transition! One of Lauren's strengths was actively listening to what I was saying, and not saying, to get to the root of what kind of career I would be interested in doing. I appreciated her candor when Lauren would question what I was saying and whether it was becoming actionable steps towards my goals. She helped me spruce up my resume and LinkedIn so that it could better target the roles I am more interested in pursuing. Lauren nudged and guided me towards ideas and tools to help me build my next career path. Definitely enjoyed working with her!”

  • Mehroz B.

    “Lauren was a thoughtful and encouraging sounding board during a period of career transition.

    She created space for reflection and helped me think through what I value and how I want to grow. Our conversations planted seeds that ultimately helped shape my approach to building a fulfilling consulting practice. If you're exploring what's next or navigating a shift in your career, I highly recommend connecting with her!”

  • Morvareed R.

    “I used Lauren's resume & LinkedIn review service and immediately started getting better feedback on my new resume when networking and applying to jobs! Lauren was great to work with, she took the time to really listen and understand where I was in my career transition and what I needed the most help with.

    She also provided great feedback on some of my interview question responses to help me prepare for upcoming interviews. Lauren is friendly, fun, funny, and she was a delight to work with! She had some really great insights for me, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for career coaching and resume help.”

  • Pamela S.

    “One of the things that I appreciated most about Lauren during my coaching sessions was how easy it was to talk to her - it was like working with a friend! She was great at recreating my resume since it was 17 years old and resumes have changed a lot over that time. Lauren is an amazing coach and happily made herself available when it worked for my schedule. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to make a change in their career.”

  • Erika K.

    “Lauren is an amazing career coach who listened carefully to my ideas and goals and helped me craft a resume and LinkedIn profile to help me achieve them. She has a deep sense of the current job market and pushed me to think about opportunities and possibilities that I could not initially see. I felt much more confident in my work with her support. I recommend her highly!”

  • Ashley H.

    “I’ve worked with Lauren several times over the last few years, and she has been wonderful. She helped me make a drastic career move by creating the perfect resume and LinkedIn profile, and providing coaching along the way. I highly recommend Lauren and will always return to her when I need a revamp of my resume and profile.”

  • Winnie L.

    “Lauren is an extremely personable, highly energetic career coach. I engaged with Lauren when I needed a little career direction and preparation for an interview. Her expertise clearly positioned my skills, accomplishments and personal strengths to engage prospective employers. What I received was so much more than I could have ever expected. Lauren was invaluable to help me organize my answers in an effective way; provide me with steps that I could use to remain focused on what I wanted to achieve in an interview.”

  • Jill C.

    Lauren is incredibly professional and knowledgeable about job searching and resume writing. She assisted me in re-writing my resume and targeting job postings when I relocated. I recommend anyone to use Lauren's career services, especially for career changers and those needing assistance with LinkedIn.
