Mission statement
I help tech workers who want a meaningful life make better decisions and upgrade their lives. I accomplish this through sharing my lived experience and behavioral expertise to expand our honest, nerdiest selves to reshape our lives and the world around us.
How do I help?
I've met a lot of people who:
struggle to carry career success to outside of their lives
are smart and capable individuals who feel like they're just missing a little something to get their lives together
I get that, because that's exactly where I was.What we hear growing up are platitudes like "follow your passions" or "be yourself" or "you'll figure things out in time".What you've probably realized is that all this advice isn't particularly helpful to people who have no idea what to do next. What is my passion? What does it even mean to 'be myself'? What exactly is it that I'm figuring out? To those questions, I don't have an answer. But, I have something that can help.From working on my own life and working with some really talented coaches and trainers, I have a program which turns the process of finding your passion and identity definition into a simple, repeatable process that anyone with enough intellect and capability can follow through on. So simple in fact, that I can tell you the general process and you can figure it out on your own.But why do that, when you can work with someone who has done it all already?
Program outcomes
Pinpoint exactly where and why your life feels like it sucks
Create an action plan to shift your life from the mundane to doing some cool shit
Break down harmful habits and mindsets that are keeping you stuck
Setup a process of continual development so that your life is regularly developing and interesting
How did this program come about?
I'm a career Software Engineer with 7 years of experience building systems that help people do their jobs. B2B SaaS is definitely not the sexiest software to work on, but I love translating messy human needs into software that solves real problems.The biggest benefit of software work is that it has financed my lifelong obsession with personal development; I want to know how we can understand ourselves more deeply and make decisions that actually align with what matters to us. To that end, I've spent my 20s continually pushing myself into new experiences: new friends, new hobbies, new groups, new identity, new heartbreak, new identity.Through all those experiences, I developed a series of thinking exercises which helped me determine what activities are both good for me and that I actually have fun doing. As a result, I now have a promising career, a loving relationship, hobbies which have taken me all over the world and, most importantly, a deep sense of confidence and peace within myself. Needless to say, the exercises worked. Not only that, but it can work for you as well.I've over a year developing a coaching program for young people in tech who feel stuck, who want to get a life of their own, just like I did all those years ago.The program has five phases—Observe, Hypothesize, Experiment, Analyze, and Renew—which help you figure out the real state of your life, where you need to take it, and what's blocking you from getting there. By the end of it, you end up with a concrete evaluation of your life, a plan to improve it, and a process for keeping that improvement going.If you are interested, check out the links below:
About me
I have 8 years of professional experience doing web app development, most of it using node/react.When I'm not working or coaching, I'm probably playing rhythm games at the arcade, listening to Japanese doujin music (a decade-plus obsession at this point), or writing about the things I'm figuring out.I'm a transgender woman and a Catholic Christian (quite the combo). Both of those things have shaped how I think about identity, authenticity, and what it means to live in alignment with something larger than yourself.
