LET’S BREAK THE MOLD
Unleashing My Professional Power:
A Rebel Mom's Manifesto
Let's face it—working as a professional mom can feel like a rebellious act in a country (hey U.S.A. I see you) that often falls short of supporting us. Outdated values insist we put family first, always, and the pressure to be everything to everybody is overwhelming. I'm right there with you; I feel the struggle and nothing ever feels like it’s going to be ‘enough’. But it's time to reclaim our power. Chart your own path.
If you're eager to work, ready for the challenges, and determined to make it emotionally and financially rewarding, let's embark on this journey together.
LET’S CHANGE THE NARRATIVE.
You can have both a successful career AND be a committed mother.
You take pride in having your income, you like the balance that work provides you in your life, and you want to be more present at work and more present at home. Whether ramping up in a new job or on the shortlist for talent planning, you exude energy and excitement.
Job searches? Piece of cake. No need to compromise or pander to companies; you're in control. You know your values, priorities, and your story is crystal clear. Crafting a killer resume is a breeze, and your interviews leave you feeling powerful and informed.
You know your values, your strengths, what you bring to the table, and suddenly the noise fades away. You’re hand in hand with your inner leader.

What Clients Are Saying
“I would absolutely recommend working with Sarah. She has a wealth of experience in coaching and people management and it shows. She is a very good listener and does not come in with a cookie cutter approach. There were many times during our coaching sessions when we would go out on tangents that would end up opening up new ideas and directions for my "homework". Her sense of humor and appreciation for enjoying life outside of work is also helpful when trying to build a healthy work/life balance. I am very grateful for the time I had working with her. While she specializes in working with mothers, I think anyone around the midpoint of their career could benefit from her coaching, whether you have children or not."
Ryan O’Malley
“She made me feel validated, asked thought-provoking questions to make me look inward and helped me come up with a solution to the problem I was facing. Even though I felt like my problem was a very silly small one going into the conversation, I left with a much better understanding of why it was hurting me so much and the responsibility I have to myself to keep working on it. She made me feel like what I was feeling wasn't just normal, but that it was important and something she'd heard through previous conversations we've had. Sarah reads between the lines in the best way, picking up on pain points through repeated words I used throughout our session and bringing them to the surface, asking thoughtful questions to better understand what I was experiencing. I left feeling not only clarity on what I was feeling but direction on how I could solve a problem (for the long-term vs. for the short term which is what I've been doing) that's been plaguing me for awhile. I would recommend Sarah to anyone!”
Pop-Up Coaching Client
“When I started working with Sarah, I was already several months into my job search and was not seeing the outcomes I wanted. Something obviously wasn't working. Sarah met me where I was and allowed me to share and be vulnerable. This level of empathy allowed me to move past rejection, retool, and ultimately strategize my job search. More importantly, Sarah helped me to figure out what I didn't want and reestablish my self worth and professional confidence. These fundamentals are core to a successful job search and to the endurance that is needed in today's job market. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone who not only wants to up their game but also wants to see themselves through the proper lens. Months later, I still feel more professionally confident, centered, and valued.”

"I chose to work with Sarah as a professional coach during a time when I knew I needed to make some changes but felt unsure of how to make them happen. Sarah helped me find the words to define my truest aspirations for my professional life. Then she helped me work through inaccurate and unhelpful stories I'd been telling myself, and believing, that were holding me back and no longer serving me. With that enormous, complicated, and deeply thoughtful body of work completed, she flexed as an interview coach to help me prepare to find the right next role. Ultimately, I ended up receiving multiple offers in a short period of time and Sarah was an invaluable thought partner to help me stay connected to my truest aspirations as I made my decision to start the next chapter of my career at a new company."
