Why work with a coach. . .

Because you’re tired of running on a hamster wheel waiting for an exit ramp that never appears.
*
Because it always seems like rest is just around the corner, after x or y or z, but really there’s no point at which you’ll get to slow down.
*
Because the stress has you showing up in ways that you feel ashamed about later.
*
Because deep down you know that the game isn’t fair, but you still blame yourself for not playing it perfectly.
*
Because you ping pong between fear of being exposed for incompetence and fantasizing about leaving forever or burning it all down.
*
Because living in these two extremes is untenable - and unnecessary.
*
Because at the end of day you just want to feel accomplished and acknowledged and that isn’t too much to ask for.

MY COACHING METHOD

Intersectional Feminism

Ever notice how socialization and gender norms stick with us, even in the workplace? Most career advice acts like it's this unbiased bubble, but here, we're diving into the real stuff. Let's focus on what we can control instead of pretending bias in its many forms doesn't tag along.
Mindset Work

This ain’t positive affirmations and power poses. Taking Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) a step further, we're delving into the root cause of why we do what we do. It's not just about thinking new thoughts; it's about transforming how we relate to ourselves and the world to create lives that go beyond what we’ve ever dreamed of.
Behavioral Theory

We're not only about our brains here; we're putting mindset work into action. Drawing inspiration from persuasive design and behavioral economics gurus like BJ Fogg, Dan Ariely, Daniel Kahneman, and Richard Thaler, we're crafting practical plans. It's about making it happen in the real world, consistently and sustainably.

TESTIMONIALS

“I've noticed such a positive change in all areas of my life - situations that previously would have overwhelmed me are totally manageable now. I'm less anxious (fewer Sunday Scaries), more clear-headed, and able to be more productive both inside and outside of work. I'm so glad I took the leap and worked with Gretchen!”
- Leah M.
“I needed the mindset work Gretchen specializes in to help me understand what it is I really, truly wanted, and how to set up my life to accomplish it. It was about digging deep, understanding my true self and beliefs, and then working through that to both set goals that truly fit with what I wanted and to be able to recognize the mental blockers that were holding me back, along with the tools to overcome those blockers.”
- Robin D.
“The way that Gretchen deftly weaves in her feminist studies into her mindset work is both unique and invaluable. She helped me uncover a lot of socialization I would have sworn I didn’t have so that I could look at them in the light of day. It was this awareness that allowed me to start making changes that have massively lowered my anxiety and helped me be more present in my daily life.”
- Amy W.
“Gretchen is serious badassery no matter what realm we are discussing. She brings her full self to the table - from hustling startup co-founder/COO/creative maven and to her very real human experiences as a woman who rose out of a trailer park. Her honesty, humor, and brilliance shine through in her coaching that we are all blessed to have. She will challenge and encourage you while you’ll feel as though you’re hanging out with your best girlfriends!”
- Tina S.
“My one-on-one coaching helped me gain insight into what I had been telling myself about my goals that kept me stuck. The work on over-analyzing and second guessing really resonated with me. The approach and tools she introduced enabled me to move forward. Invaluable experience!”
-Heidi H.
“Gretchen understands the value she can bring to the challenges you’re experiencing. She pushed me to make measurable progress. I was in my own way and she taught me how to take a new approach to change the outcome.”
— Leah K.
