The Three Focus Areas
Vision
Design your ideal life, define your purpose, and define your values. This is the anchor section that we will come back to as you start to move toward living your purpose.
Inner Mastery
Once you’ve defined your ideal life, we will look at what’s standing in the way. This includes setting boundaries, understanding your harsh inner critic, and practicing self-compassion.
Action
It’s not enough to state your purpose.
We have to take action. We will design your non-negotiables, take courageous action, set attainable goals, set boundaries, and learn to celebrate.

How My Clients Have Transformed
Who I Built This Course For
The Seeking High Performer
You’re like Julia Roberts in Eat, Pray, Love, waking up on the bathroom floor thinking, “This isn’t the life I want to be living.”
You value freedom, health, creativity, connection, and service, but your life and career doesn’t mirror that
You want a more soul-nourishing career where you impact people’s lives directly and can see that your work makes the world a better place
You struggle with stories like, “I’m not good enough,” and “Who would pay me to do that?”
You have poor boundaries and often feel like you’re people-pleasing and being taken advantage of, but you don’t know how to stop
You have a messy relationship history, and you fear that you may never be in a loving relationship
The Exhausted High Performer
You’re a high achiever, and you’re on the right track with your career, but you are very harsh to yourself and feel like nothing is ever good enough
You often struggle with communication with direct reports or managing upwards and have friction with your boss
You want to set the world on fire and make a huge impact, but at times you’re crippled with self-doubt and imposter syndrome
Work comes at the cost of your health
You reach for the lollies and the chocolate when things get hard, and your workouts get put on the back burner
You yearn to keep achieving but also without losing their essence
You feel disconnected from your vitality and energy
You have people-pleasing tendencies and want to be nice and helpful but don’t like confrontation
The Triggered High Performer
You’re a high achiever, but you have trouble with your emotions. You often erupt in anger or shut down.
You have intense feelings and fears of failure and people finding out that you’re not good enough
You want to be in control all the time and when you’re not, you flip out
You hate the parts of yourself (the anger, procrastination, overwhelm, self-criticism) that hold you back from the person you want to be
You constantly compare yourself to others and the comparison sends you into a spiral
You have guilt when you’re not working
You’re highly irritable and things set you off easily
You can achieve so much in your life and career but feel like you’re at war with yourself

From Burnout to 6-Figure Business Owner and Published Author
In 2020, I was diagnosed with burnout and my doctor told me that if I kept going, I may not be able to work again.
It was the wake-up call I needed to change my life.
That year, I resigned from LinkedIn after seven years. It was the first day of the rest of my life.
But, I knew if I really wanted to change, I had to put in boundaries. I had to develop self-compassion. I had to stop pushing myself so hard and realise that my worthiness was not tied to my performance at work.
And I had to start living my dreams.
For years I had dreamed of becoming a coach and going back to school for creative writing. I enrolled in a Masters in Creative Writing. I started my life coach training with Martha Beck (Oprah’s life coach!). I met my beautiful partner. Suddenly, a trap door of energy opened.
When I had previously been exhausted, I was now vibrating with creative energy.
My coaching business thrived.
My first short story was published.
I got engaged.
I’ve spent over a thousand hours coaching high performers and helping them transform their lives. I’ve watched clients transform their health, careers, and relationships and change the way they see themselves and the world.
It happened to me. It will happen for you.
Because the magic happens when we show up for ourselves.

FAQs
-
Each week, you will post your assignments on the community platform. I review everyone’s assignments and give them individual feedback before our group coaching call. Spaces are very limited in the container, so there will be individually tailored feedback as well as feedback in the group coaching calls. If you feel like you want extra individual attention, you can purchase a 1:1 session with Hannah or join the VIP program where you will get a 1:1 session.

-
Given the nature of coaching, you get out what you put in. This program will accelerate you, but only if you show up and do the work. As such, there are no refunds.
-
Coaching differs from therapy because it’s action-oriented and geared toward accelerating the client forward versus looking backward. Coaching is about acceleration and therapy is about stabilization. You will work on specific skills each week and get “homework” assignments to practice these skills.
-
My client base is 50/50, split between male-identifying and female-identifying clients. I’ve seen huge transformations with my male-identifying clients, and I enjoy coaching all high performers who want to develop a stronger relationship with themselves and find purpose in their lives.
-
Yes, I have many clients whose employers pay for their coaching fees. You can ask HR if there is an education or development budget.
