If I am being honest, just writing this newsletter feels like climbing a mountain made entirely of cringe. Saying my new job out loud, claiming a title, promoting myself, asking you to read this and maybe even share it or hire me. All of it makes some old part of me want to crawl out of my skin. But I am doing it anyway, because the work matters more than my discomfort with being seen.
And I want to give myself a little credit for even writing this newsletter. It has taken me three+ years of exploring, changing my title more times than I can count, and trying to figure out how to talk about the work I am so passionate about. For a long time, I was crafting a coaching practice for what I thought people wanted me to be, hoping someone would connect with it. But I wasn’t working.
And then, slowly, it started to come together. The work I’ve been doing on myself, my curiosity about personal development, and my coaching practice all began to weave into something that finally felt clear.
So here it is: I am officially a psycho-spiritual leadership coach and consultant. Ahhhh! That feels so good to say.
If that term makes you tilt your head….stay with me.
How did I get here?
Quite honestly, by chance. I never set out to become a coach. What I set out to do was live a life that felt true to me, even when that meant taking risks or walking away from the known path. Along the way, I became an entrepreneur, a leader, a mother, and a seeker. Each role stretched me in different ways, and I often found myself asking the same questions my clients ask me now: Who am I becoming? How do I make choices that honor both my ambition and my humanity? How do I keep showing up when I feel like I’m unraveling (I ask myself this one a lot)?
I didn’t realize it at the time, but every business I built, every team I led, every personal challenge I worked through was preparing me for this work. Coaching found me because people started coming to me with their questions, their doubts, and their desire for something more. And somewhere along the way, I understood that this wasn’t just a side hustle, but instead, my calling and my soul’s path. I have always been in the business of healing. Through dance, through food, and now through active listening.
The way I coach is different.
In ballet, you have to learn the rules of technique before you can break into improvisation. Coaching is the same for me. I am ICF-certified, Internal Family Systems-informed, and I bring 15 years of entrepreneurial experience. But the way I coach doesn’t look like a coaching textbook. It’s rooted in lived experience, intuition, and truth-telling.
I’ve built businesses, led teams, raised children, and walked through my own seasons of growth, chronic burnout, crippling anxiety, and tons of change. Most likely, I haven’t lived your exact story, or had your exact job, but I’ve either experienced something close or held space for someone who has.
That’s where my kind of work lives: in the middle of senior/executive leadership, spirituality, and personal growth. It’s where your inner world and your outer leadership start to align.
Most coaches help you set and reach goals. Most spiritual mentors help you look inward and somatically experience yourself. Most leadership framework stays in the mind with lots of exercises and tools. I help you work at the intersection of all three, where I believe the real transformation happens.
And no, I don’t have a “niche.” I don’t just coach entrepreneurs or executives. I coach people. Full, complicated, brilliant humans who are ready to be coached as their whole person. Every client I work with is seeking transformation…not just in their career, but in their life. Because, newsflash: your personal work is your professional growth.
If you have to split yourself into one version at work and another version at home, that isn’t just unsustainable. It’s exhausting. I believe the more integrated you are, the more powerful your leadership becomes.
How is this different from therapy?
Therapy often looks back. It helps us name and heal the wounds of our past, which is vital work. I’ve been in therapy most of my life and with my current therapist for over a decade. Coaching, however, looks forward. It asks:
Who am I beneath the parts of me that feel pain, shame, and programming?
What version of me is trying to emerge right now from a version that is no longer relevant?
How do I design my future self, one decision at a time?
Together, we might explore burnout, inner critics, embodiment, spirituality, power dynamics, or purpose. It isn’t about fixing you. It’s about remembering, unblocking, and reclaiming yourself.
Clients often find me when they’re at a crossroads. What worked before isn’t working anymore. They may be in transition, stepping into leadership, quietly unraveling inside while looking “successful” outside, or realizing that the sweater they’re wearing feels two sizes too small. They come to me not for answers, but for a space to be honest, unmasked, and in process. And for someone who knows how to hold them there. Because this has been me, and will be me again.
How I work:
I work on a retainer model, not one off sessions. You’re not just hiring me for a call. You’re stepping into a partnership where change has space to take root.
I’m certified as a professional coach, trained in IFS (Internal Family Systems) and Human Design, and I bring 15+ years of experience as a creative entrepreneur, leader, and coach. I was also a former ballerina, so I understand habits and discipline.
I am deeply human & transparent, and I expect you to be too.
My superpower is naming the patterns others don’t see, and speaking the truths people have been circling for years. I am kind and firm, and hold my clients accountable to their goals while cheerleading them along the way.
I like to think of myself as part strategist, part mystic, and part future therapist.
If this resonates, especially as we enter into a new season, or you’re curious if psycho-spiritual leadership coaching could be right for you, I’d love to connect. I offer free 30-minute discovery calls so we can explore what’s possible together. No pressure. Just presence.
At the heart of my work is this: I’m not here to optimize you. I’m here to help you return to yourself.
Be well,
KBW
