Bio
You’ve checked all the boxes: Built the resume, hit the numbers, earned the recognition. But something’s shifted. The calendar is full but your chest is tight. You’re successful, but not aligned. The real cost? Your energy, clarity, and sense of self. This isn’t just burnout. It’s a quiet reckoning. The world is accelerating: AI, layoffs, economic whiplash. Staying distracted might feel productive and soothing, but it’s dangerous. You don’t need another hack. You need a pattern interrupt. I work with high-performing founders, execs, and change agents who’ve outgrown the identity that got them here and are ready to lead from a deeper place. Clients come to me when they start asking: - Who am I without the title, calendar, or salary? - What do I want to stand for now? - How long can I afford to stay “successful” by someone else’s definition? If that’s you, I offer three entry points into the work: 1. Quiet Rebellion Reset A 100-day coaching container to recover energy, recalibrate direction, and act with courage. 2. Quiet Rebellion Council Private council for leaders at the edge of conscious reinvention. 3. Wild Rebellion Retreats Nature-based intensives to unplug, reset, and return with clarity. I spent 13 years in Big Tech. I know what it’s like to look put-together while quietly unraveling. Now I help leaders from Google, Meta, Amazon, and fast-growth startups reclaim who they are. This work isn’t theory. It’s grounded, strategic, and human. If you’re at a breaking point (or a pivot point) let’s talk. The real risk isn’t slowing down. It’s staying stuck. Book a 45-minute Clarity Call No pitch. Just space to see what’s real, and what’s next. Be Rebellious! In solidarity ✊

Guidance and Expertise Provided

I work with high performers at the edge of transition. People who have done everything “right” and still feel the quiet truth: the life they built no longer fits. I help you stop negotiating with misalignment. My expertise includes decision-making under uncertainty, capacity repair (time, energy, attention), boundaries, and personal sovereignty. This isn’t motivational coaching. It’s clarity work: name the real problem, cut through noise, and choose the next right step.
