Life Coaching for Career Happiness
You know that feeling when your life looks fine on paper, but something deep inside feels off?
You've checked all the boxes - success, title, respect; yet somewhere along the way, the joy, the spark, the why started to fade.
I know that feeling intimately.
I spent years building what most people would call a dream career climbing, achieving, leading at the top levels of corporate finance.
I did everything “right.”
I built the career everyone admired.
I made myself reliable, capable, unshakeable.
And then, somewhere in the middle of all that "success," I hit a wall I couldn't outthink or outwork my way through.
I was exhausted, disconnected, and quietly wondering, "Is this it?"
I didn’t talk about it.
Most high achievers don’t.
We keep going, hoping the misalignment will fix itself.
It rarely does.
It wasn’t a dramatic moment that changed everything, just small, honest whispers that slowly got louder: “This isn’t you anymore.” “You’ve changed.” “It’s time to come home to yourself.”
Listening to those whispers took courage I didn’t know I had. It took humility.
What I discovered was that I wasn't lost.
I was just misaligned.
Who I had become no longer fit the career I had built.
That realization changed everything.
It forced me to stop performing to everyone else's expectations and start listening - to myself.
Through a lot of trial and error (and plenty of humility), I learned how to strip away everyone else's definitions of success, rebuild from self-awareness, and design a career that actually fit the woman I had become.
And now, that process - refined and tested with hundreds of clients is what I teach inside The Turning Point Series, The 'Reinvention Code' Series and my Entrepreneurial Start-up Coaching Series.
This isn't theory.
It's not something I learned from a certification course or borrowed from someone else's playbook.
This is real-world transformation born out of experience…out of walking the same path you're standing on right now.
I am dedicated to helping you identify a career path that honors your personal and professional evolution. I provide executive coaching to high-potential individuals seeking to advance their careers in a new direction. I have helped hundreds of clients conquer fear, uncertainty, and procrastination, design their next career chapter, and transition into roles that align with their competitive differences, strengths, interests, and values. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey.

Professional Bio:
I am a former finance executive with experience in both Fortune 500 and private-equity organizations. I have been a coach for 15+ years and a corporate finance leader, small business consultant, and mentor for 25+ years. I made successful career changes from corporate finance to small business consulting and career coaching. What I learned on my journey helped me develop my three transformational coaching series - The Turning Point series, The 'Reinvention Code' series, and my Entrepreneurial Start-up Coaching series. Through my work I free clients from limited beliefs of who they are and what they can be.
I partner with you to make sense of where you are, reclaim who you’ve become, and design a career that energizes rather than drains you. Together, we uncover the version of you that’s been waiting underneath all the expectations and survival strategies.

“I can't thank Julie enough. She did what I've been trying to do for years- figure out what I want and why I had trouble connecting with myself. This may not seem like much, but it's huge. It's changed the course of my life. I went back to school to do something I'm passionate about and become a person in the process. So if you are on the fence about who to hire- Julie will not disappoint! Wish I had come across her years ago! Bonus is that I also really enjoyed talking to her.”
