Change the Way You Operate So You Can Work (and Live) With More Ease, Confidence + Balance

You are proud of your success, but know the way you operate isn’t sustainable.

You dream of going:

FROM Grinding yet never feeling like you’ve done enough…

TO Trusting your value, experience + expertise

FROM Letting others + yourself run rampant over your boundaries…

TO Respecting your guardrails + yourself

FROM Being deep in the weeds and controlling every detail…

TO Focusing on what matters + empowering your team to deliver

FROM Feeling bone-tired + strung out…

TO Prioritizing yourself + regularly refilling your cup

FROM Day-dreaming about that “one day” when you’ll be able to breathe…

TO Making time for yourself + loved ones daily

I’ll let you in on a secret…

You don’t have to leave your job to find balance.

Yes, your job has long hours, demanding leaders and high-stress. But those aren’t the only factors driving your exhaustion.

As ambitious millennial women, we are wired to burn out.

We care deeply, are wildly competent and want to perform. These traits have powered our success and our exhaustion.

Our weak boundaries, perfectionism, people-pleasing and ‘I haven’t done enough’ syndrome keep us trapped on a hamster wheel of endless to-do lists, back-to-back-to-back meetings and long hours.

Sometimes quitting feels like the only solution, but you’ll bring your burnout habits to your next role.

Imagine if you learned a new way of operating…

So instead of bailing on the career you’ve spent years building, you prioritize with ease, set and hold firm boundaries and recharge and connect with your loved ones regularly.

That would feel…pretty amazing and life-changing, right?

Join me for CalmOS, an eight-week bootcamp, so you can:

  • Stay in the career you’ve invested years of training and hard work in, or

  • Start a new professional chapter from a place of strength, confidence and energy

We will teach you to operate differently. By the end of the eight-weeks, you will be rejuvenated, more confident and have the tools you need to sustain your success.

Ready to feel as good as your resume looks?

EIGHT-WEEKS OF TRANSFORMATION

Kicking-off on October 4th, each week will be a mix of learning, guided exploration and community.

01.

YOUR BODY IS A TEMPLE

Our bodies - fueled by copious cups of coffee + 4pm desk lunches - are the oft-neglected key to our big careers. We’ll reacquaint ourselves with what’s going on below our neck and start reenergizing ASAP

02.

OLD STORIES, BAD HABITS

Remember “good girls are made of sugar, spice + everything nice”? We will unpack the messages we heard growing up and the surprising reasons they led to our exhausting work habits

03.

THE BURNOUT CYCLE

There is a reason leadership books start with, “what got you here, won’t get you there.” We’ve used our perfectionism, people-pleasing and overwork to fuel our success, but we’ll explore why this isn’t sustainable, building from Wk 2

04.

WHEW, EXHALE…

We’re diving deep in the first few weeks - exploring old beliefs and ways of working. We’ll use this week to continue letting go, so we can fully adopt the new way of operating.

05.

YOUR NEW OPERATING SYSTEM

Who’s ready to work differently? With more calm, confidence and ease...? Sign us up, please! We’ll learn the secret to having more confidence, empowering our teams and focusing on great work, instead of over work

06.

BETTER BOUNDARIES, BETTER LIFE

Learn and practice actionable strategies to set, hold and keep better boundaries, and reinforce your new way of operating

07.

MORE BOUNDARIES PLEASE

Let’s be honest, it takes practice to learn new habits. We’re doubling-down on our boundaries so that by the end of this week, you’ll be as my client says, “the most boundaried person ever”

08.

TO THE C-SUITE OR THE STARS

Whether your goal is the C-Suite or just working with more ease, we’ll celebrate how far we’ve come and how to ensure we take these new ways of working forward
