Are you in a career transition? No matter where you are in your career, there is always a crossroads on the horizon. Whether you are fully ready, or just curious on what’s next for your career - working with a coach can significantly increase your clarity and next steps. According to the Bureau of Labor statistics, the average tenure for an employee in the U.S. is only 4.1 years. This means talented professionals, like yourself, are either preparing for, inside, or recalibrating from a career change roughly every other year. Our family, friends, and colleagues can be helpful confidants but for various reasons can often not provide the level of reflection and support you need to make the next right move. It’s time to take action toward your desired future that balances your unique skills, values, and wellbeing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5145aebb11911fa7f7a019/1726248108602-6H0TIQ3GYVIXQSEYZUP8/unsplash-image-L8oEIAZ59_g.jpg Coaching - Parental Leave Coaching Are you preparing to go on parental leave? Coaching can help you navigate this major career transition with intention. A recent 2022 study of 1,000 professional women found that “85% left the full-time workforce within 3 years of having a child, and 19% left altogether.” These statistics are not all out of personal desire, 98% want to work after becoming a parent. The reality is, most workplaces (and government policies) are not set-up to support working parents. The length of paid leave is variable, flexibility is uncertain, and support for the physical, mental and emotional toll of caring for a young family is sparse. While these systemic gaps are out of your control, learning and owning what you can control is a game-changer. Parental leave coaching can drastically reduce the stress and overwhelm of preparing for and returning from leave. You were never meant to do this alone, especially inside of a broken system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5145aebb11911fa7f7a019/1726248494114-1O8TR3T3PRQKF7WK6K9H/unsplash-image-7bwQXzbF6KE.jpg Coaching - Well-Being Coaching You’re not broken — the foundation needs work. Both men and women can struggle to own their self-worth, but women rely heavily on external feedback to buoy their internal narrative. Understanding how you are getting in your own way is an investment. Out of all of the types of coaching I offer, this one can be the heaviest lift - but also the most far-reaching and impactful. Our well-being affects every part of our lives: our health, our relationships, our work, our parenting, our sense of happiness and fulfillment. You’ve likely spent years trying to change, but the walls keep falling because the foundation is not sound. It’s time to start from the ground up and rewrite your internal narrative and stop playing small. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5145aebb11911fa7f7a019/57fefb89-027d-45b9-acf7-bebc4641e02c/cowomen-bHflE1ZIPws-unsplash.jpg Coaching - Leadership Coaching Do you feel undervalued? Unsure how to take your career to the next level? Ready to rediscover your purpose? Research shows women are more educated, make better strategic decisions, and possess the most desirable qualities of a leader. And yet, so few women are leading companies, communities, and governments. Sure, there is systematic gender inequity woven into our culture; but we must also hold ourselves accountable to our acceptance of the system. Over multiple sessions we will work together to identify, own, and step around the real and perceived barriers holding you back. We’ll dust off that ole’ imagination, get creative, and reimagine your influence as a leader. Then, we will get down to business —reconstructing your power. You will rediscover your resilience, own your story, and finally share your true talent with the world. https://alpinistacoaching.com/home daily 1.0 2026-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5145aebb11911fa7f7a019/111b6753-89e1-4534-9e95-44c7b41d0d39/IMG_6515.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5145aebb11911fa7f7a019/280168cb-a25f-4722-8e02-6c606526b015/IMG_3894_jpg.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5145aebb11911fa7f7a019/1599454985209-6JUK3QB7WE81ZZ1XVAP9/Two+elegant+therapists+sitting+at+modern+bright+office+lobby+and+talking.

I began my career coaching athletes with disabilities in Alaska and Colorado, where I learned early on that growth is not about fixing what is “broken,” but honoring the whole person. As my career evolved, I experienced my own professional highs and lows. I loved my work and yet felt frustrated and unfulfilled. I kept asking myself, Why does a career I care so deeply about draining me? That question became even sharper as I watched women navigate major transitions, particularly parental leave, without the support, space, or permission to recalibrate who they were becoming. I dove into organizational psychology research to find answers. Two years later, I emerged with a master’s degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology and a clearer truth. Sustainable careers are built on human needs, not hustle. We need to feel valued and respected. We need purpose, trust, and connection. And women, especially during seasons like motherhood and caregiving, need space to experiment, pause, redefine success, and sometimes fail safely. I became an ICF PCC Certified Coach to support female professionals through career growth, transition, and reinvention. For over a decade, I have partnered with women navigating parental leave, role changes, burnout, and identity shifts, helping them make intentional choices that honor both ambition and wellbeing. My work blends empathy, creativity, and accountability to support you as a whole person, not just a title or a resume. I believe deeply in vitality, clarity, and thriving across work and life, and I help my clients build careers that evolve with who they are, not who they used to be. “My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor and some style.” - Maya Angelou https://alpinistacoaching.com/get-started daily 0.75 2020-09-17
