What if success didn’t have to feel so exhausting?
You’ve worked so hard to get here, but behind the promotions and accolades, the pressure to prove yourself never stops. You don’t have to sacrifice yourself for your success.
You care deeply about your career and have worked so hard for your success.
You’ve been going the extra mile since high school. Late nights, extra credit, a resume stacked with the right schools, top companies and promotions.
If only you felt as good as your resume looks.
What your accolades don’t show…
Is how hard you work to maintain that success.
You put so much pressure on yourself to perform, that you’ve unintentionally trapped yourself in an exhausting cycle of…
…questioning your every move, dissecting every interaction thinking you could have said “X” better or wishing that you had shared your honest perspective.
…preparing exhaustively for every meeting, researching trends and scripting the conversation, all while wondering if you should be the one to present.
…trying to perfect and control every last detail - triple-checking the footnotes and trying to anticipate exactly how your CEO will respond.
…ignoring your boundaries and twisting yourself into a pretzel to deliver on every request, no matter how urgent or not.
You’ve listened to the podcasts, tried the productivity hacks, done the therapy, but...
You know ‘done is better than perfect’ and people-pleasing isn’t healthy, but…
The thought of letting a detail slip through the cracks or saying “no” to that last minute request makes your skin crawl.
And underneath it all, there’s this quiet fear you can’t shake—
Am I only successful because I work hard?
There is a different way to work…
Imagine that woman you always admire…
The exec on your leadership team or your work bff’s boss.
She is wildly successful —
And has the title, scope and impact to show for it (and btw, spends ample time with her kids, serves on a board and somehow finds time to read?!).
And yet, she’s never frazzled in the way you expect.
She is firm in her decisions and contributions, sharing with conviction.
She shows up on time and prepared, collected instead of out of breath.
She is present in every interaction - no matter how high- or low- the stakes - and has an uncanny ability to focus on what matters, and let the other pieces go.
Wow, you even saw her handle sharp questioning from the CEO with ease. When you passed her in the hall afterwards, she was calm - not a ruffled feather out of place.
Let me let you in on a secret…
This can and will be you.
The only difference between you and this leader today?
She fully trusts her capabilities, knows her value and is deeply rooted in her sense of self.
“Before [CalmOS], I was not taking care of myself or showing up for those who mattered most to me. Now, I purposely align my time to what brings me joy and growth. I thrive on my own terms. It feels awesome.”
Jackie J., Operations Leader
Stop questioning your every move and over-preparing, over-planning and over-working and instead, fully trust your capabilities and back yourself at every turn.

“[Before CalmOS], I felt frazzled, out-of-control, overwhelmed - presenting as though I had it all together, but was frantically paddling beneath the water. I decided to do CalmOS because don't want to spend the next 30 working years feeling as though I am "not doing enough" or lacking confidence.
After CalmOS, I feel inspired and hopeful - work isn't just the things I need to get done for my team. I can make my career work for me - intentionally planning my time, communicating with others, and checking in with myself.”
Tracy L, Sr. Director of Marketing
Hi! I’m Cydnee
After years of always wondering if I had done enough, working (extremely) late nights cringing at saying “no” and never congratulating myself on a job well done until I heard it from my boss first, I’ve developed an unshakeable self-trust and belief in my abilities that has allowed me to create a thriving business, without exhaustive overwork or questioning myself.
I’m on a mission to help other high-achieving millennial women do the same. Over the past five years, I’ve coached dozens of women to ditch their doubt, perfectionism and overwork and develop the deep-rooted confidence and empowered work habits that last.
I created CalmOS because I’ve seen too many women - paralyzed by self-doubt and exhausted from perfectionism and long hours - hold themselves back…from betting on themselves, sharing their ideas fully or taking up space.
Women power the world and we need more women leading (and living) full-on — backing themselves fully, putting their views on max volume and letting their truest selves shine.
This program isn’t just about better work habits - it is about embodying the confident, wildly capable and self-trusting woman you are.
From the moment you join CalmOS, you’ll feel a sense of ease as the knot in your stomach unclenches, you experiment with putting your phone on ‘do not disturb’ (until it becomes your go-to) and you start to trust your capabilities.
Each module is designed to deepen your sense of self so you can move through the work day firm in your value and boundaries. You’ll get expert guidance, insight-inspiring learning and a community of super women cheering you on.
Your Investment…
To fundamentally transform the way you work (and live), leaving behind your doubt, perfectionism and exhaustion once and for all to become the wildly confident and self-trusting woman you are.

This isn’t about finding that one perfect time management tool or magical productivity hack - you can get that anywhere.
I am taking you deep - using the strategies I’ve used with 100 clients and on myself - to replace your self-doubt and old programming with a deep, unshakeable sense of self so that you can succeed without sacrificing yourself.
“I was extremely burnt-out - it was a constant struggle to find any time or energy for myself out of my day-to-day demands. I also had a difficult time separating my identity from my job and career. Now, I understand that my identity and purpose is not intrinsically linked to my career, my job, or my company. Today I am able to find time for me, fill my cup, and celebrate the small wins.”
