Sample Experiences of Our Clients

From Burnout To Freedom
Wedding photographer Shawn was tired of capturing the same staged moments every weekend. He felt trapped in a creative rut, overwhelmed but unsure how to change things without shutting down his business. Together, we found clarity on what truly mattered, and he made extraordinary changes that reignited his passion and transformed his life.
Shawn also felt like a commodity in the market, just another photographer shooting the same staged moments over and over. There was no space for creativity or personal expression. The spark that had once drawn him to photography was fading, replaced by a growing sense of burnout. Nearly every weekend, he found himself running after the bride, trying to meet the demands of the job while feeling like his own desires and needs were slipping away.
When Shawn came to me, it was clear he needed more than just a career shift—he needed clarity on what truly mattered to him. Together, we explored the roots of his burnout, the stifling lack of creativity in his work, and the constraints that left him feeling stuck. Through our coaching, we dove deep into who Shawn was beneath the stress and exhaustion. We uncovered what he valued most—his family, creativity, and time in nature. These weren’t just ideas but core elements of who he was.
With newfound clarity, Shawn made bold changes. He sold his home and moved his family across the country to be closer to his siblings and relatives. The decision came quickly once he realized what he really wanted. It was an exciting and liberating moment for him. He no longer felt trapped by the demands of his previous work. Instead, he embraced a new chapter—one that aligned with his deeper values.
Shawn transitioned from wedding photography to focusing on what truly inspired him—nature photography. He now spends his days out in the wilderness, capturing the beauty of the world around him. The creativity that had been missing in his work for so long is now a constant source of joy. He no longer feels like a commodity but like an artist again, someone who can express his true self through his lens.
His quality of life has transformed. Shawn now spends weekends with his family, enjoying time with his siblings and loved ones. He feels more connected to his community and has found a balance between work and life that he never thought possible. Less stress, more fulfillment, and a sense of belonging have replaced the burnout and exhaustion he once felt.
Through coaching, Shawn found the courage to create the life he truly wanted—one filled with creativity, connection, and peace.

From Overworked and Overwhelmed to Knowing What to Do Next
Veronica hadn’t gone on vacation in years. She was convinced her business would fall apart if she stepped away. We tackled that fear head-on, shifting her mindset from survival mode to thriving. Instead of just pushing forward, I helped her go inward, and she could finally take a vacation confidently, without guilt.
Through our coaching sessions, Veronica faced not only the physical exhaustion but also the emotional weight she had been carrying. She connected with the sadness she had been suppressing, realizing that her relentless work was coming at the cost of her well-being. This process brought her clarity about what truly mattered in her life—both personally and professionally.
A pivotal moment for Veronica was her mindset shift around trusting her team. For years, she had operated from a place of fear, believing that if she wasn't involved in every decision, the business would suffer. Our work together helped her see that her team was more capable than she had allowed herself to believe. This shift from micromanagement to trust was transformative. As she learned to delegate and empower her team, she realized they could handle more responsibility, allowing her to step back and focus on what was most important to her.
By the end of our coaching journey, Veronica did something she never thought possible—she took a week-long vacation. This wasn't just about taking time off; it was a sign of her newfound trust in both herself and her team. She now knew that her business wouldn't just survive but thrive in her absence. Her mindset had fundamentally shifted, from being the sole force behind her business to recognizing the power of collaboration and trust in others.
With this new perspective, Veronica’s business continued to expand, but now she approached the demands with more ease and confidence. She no longer felt the need to carry it all on her own. Her team operated smoothly, and Veronica had the clarity, energy, and capacity to lead her growing business without the stress and burnout she had once known.

From 9-to-5 to Thriving Entrepreneur
Ryan was stuck in his 9-to-5, wanting to leap into full-time coaching but never making enough money. Together, we uncovered why he was undervaluing himself. Once he embraced his worth, he transitioned into full-time coaching and built a thriving business.
As we delved deeper, it became clear that his pricing challenges stemmed from a low sense of self-worth. Ryan didn't fully believe in the value he brought to his clients, and this belief affected not only his income but also his confidence. Our work together focused on addressing these internal blocks. Ryan was able to confront his deep-seated feelings of inadequacy, and we worked to transform them over time.
Through consistent coaching and reflection, Ryan began to recognize his own value. Slowly but surely, his confidence grew, and with it came a new understanding of what he could offer. With this mindset shift, Ryan started charging appropriately for his services, realizing that his work had significant impact. He raised his prices and was soon able to generate enough income to leave his 9-5 job, pursuing coaching full-time.
This newfound self-worth also empowered Ryan to make bold life changes. He moved halfway around the world, something he had long dreamed of but never had the confidence to pursue. His work-life balance dramatically improved as well. Instead of feeling overwhelmed and undervalued, Ryan now enjoyed a more fulfilling life, both professionally and personally.
Most importantly, Ryan became more in tune with his life’s purpose. He no longer questioned his worth or ability to succeed in coaching. He built a sustainable business, reflecting his inner transformation, and now lives in alignment with his goals and values. Ryan’s journey from self-doubt to self-assurance continues to inspire him in his work with clients today.
