Let’s Actualize Your Big F*cking Dreams

The Life & Work Transformation is a no-bullshit twenty-week program for stuck high performers who want to find and live their purpose and build the career of their dreams.

The program includes weekly group teaching calls, exercises to integrate teachings, highly personalized weekly feedback, access to a community of other high performers, and group coaching sessions.

Graduates Are Living Their Dream Lives

  • "I joined the LWT program to gain clarity on my career trajectory. I ended up getting so much more! I have a greater understanding of my values, what my ideal life looks like and how the underlying parts of my personality are motivating my real life decisions. I have learned and am continuing to practice, how to set boundaries in both my personal and professional life that support the vision for my future. I have healed parts of me that I didn't know needed healing and I will be eternally grateful to Hannah for facilitating this journey."

    Alannah Turner

    Enterprise Account Director - LinkedIn

  • "Hannah is an absolute genius in laying down the path for people to excel and be happier. She has a gift. She never said, “I don't think your goals are possible,” or “I am not sure it is a good idea,” and I know she would've bluntly told me if she thought so. She has been one of the most supportive people on my journey."

    Nicolo Urbini

    Architect

  • “I joined the Life and Work Transformation program after hitting burnout, realizing that burnout is not just about working too hard—it's a holistic issue. I needed to make significant changes in my life, rethink my priorities, and clarify what I truly value.Through the program, I was able to clearly identify my core values and envision my ideal life. Importantly, I learned to set boundaries not only with others but also with myself. To my amazement, I continue to excel in my job while ensuring my foundational needs are met.”

    Tracey Brown

    Global Enablement Lead- LinkedIn

  • "Within a few short weeks and the help of tools like the career clarity document and using principles across values, internal family systems and non-negotiables I started to feel the Transformation and I landed an amazing new role that aligned so perfectly with what I wanted. My work/life balance has improved and I truly feel a greater sense of self trust and confidence than I did before. I am doing the group program which is awesome as you get to see everyone else growing, sharing similar challenges and it's supportive."

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.

Who I Built This Course For

The Stagnant High Performer


You feel lost in your career or personal life. You crave clarity and fulfillment but feel paralyzed by a lack of direction. You tend to overanalyze their purpose, which fuels frustration and stagnation.

Common Behaviors:

  • Overanalyzing their purpose without taking action.

  • Consuming endless self-help books and podcasts to find clarity, while not taking action.

  • Feeling stuck while envying those with clear goals.

Common Phrases:

  • "I have all these so many different interests and passions and ideas, and sometimes it's a little overwhelming.”

  • “I need to get the confidence just to move on, because right now I have the golden handcuffs, but the unknown is super scary.”

  • “I just want to feel like I’m on the right path.”

The Self-Doubting High Performer

You are your own harshest critic. You struggle with accepting parts of yourself you dislike, often dealing with outbursts of anger, self-criticism, or guilt. You’re a self-proclaimed perfectionist, but you know it’s killing you.

Common Behaviors:

  • Getting an amazing performance review but still believing you’re going to be put on a performance plan.

  • Every time your manager calls you, you think you’re going to be fired.

  • You’re hyper-critical about everything, even though everyone else says you’re a superstar.

Common Phrases:

  • “I know I have imposter syndrome. But doesn’t everyone?”

  • “I hate this part of myself.”

  • “I wish I could just be chill.”

The Exhausted High Performer

You take on too much, trying to “do it all,” but end up burned out. You are pulled in multiple directions, often sacrificing your mental and physical health in the process.

Common Behaviors:

  • Reaching for the lollies and chocolate because you can barely keep your eyes open.

  • Saying “yes” to more work projects despite feeling overwhelmed.

  • Giving work 100% when you are at 0% energy.

Common Phrases:

  • “I’m headed towards burnout.”

  • “I give work literally my everything. I really need to slow down, because I don't think I can do this for much longer."

  • “This will be the year I start working out.”

The People-Pleasing High Performer

You excel at accommodating others’ needs but often at the expense of your own goals and well-being. You feel unseen, undervalued, and unable to confidently advocate for yourself.

Common Behaviors:

  • Organizing every friend get-together, child’s birthday party, and family picnic. You’re the go-to person for everyone!

  • You can’t even find time in your diary to get botox or a haircut.

  • Having a breakdown if you don’t get the top rating on your performance review.

  • Leading an ERG even though you are already overwhelmed and exhausted.

Common Phrases:

  • “I can definitely do that for you!” (while crying on the inside)

  • “I just want everyone to be happy!” (when you’re not happy)

  • “Sure, you can use my car! I’ll just walk to work :)”

  • “I’m in leadership. I've got kids. I've manifested this life. But I'm really fucking tired.”

From Burnout to 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

  • 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.
