The Show Up Guarantee

Do the work. Complete at least 75% of the lessons, and attend at least 20 of the 24 calls live.

If you have done that and you are still struggling with any of these, you get 4 more sessions with me at no additional cost:

✓Calming your body in the moments that used to flatten you.
✓Saying your boundary out loud and holding it when they push back.
✓Spotting manipulation as it happens.
✓Having a written plan for what comes next, whether you stay or go.

You choose: four one-on-one sessions (45 minutes each) or four group sessions (60 minutes each), spread across 4 weeks.

I do not guarantee a raise, a promotion, or what your employer does. I do not control that, and no honest coach does. What I guarantee is that if you show up and do the work, you are not left on your own.

75% of lessons completed, and 20 of 24 calls attended live.

Who this is for

This is for you if

  • ✓You are dealing with a bad boss, a bad manager, or a toxic work culture.
  • ✓You are seeing the signs of a toxic work environment and no longer know what is normal.
  • ✓You are good at your job and tired of being made to feel otherwise.
  • ✓You have tried therapy, books, or the usual advice and the dread is still there.
  • ✓You are staying and want to change how you operate, you are planning to leave, or you do not know yet.
  • ✓You are ready to practice out loud, not only listen.
  • ✓You would rather do this in a room of women who get it than alone.
Who this is not for

This is not for you if

  • ×You are looking for specific recruitment or legal tools.
Your investment

Your investment

Investment varies depending on the route you take, so we cover that on your clarity call once we have determined if we would work well together or not. Payment plans are available.

Spots are limited by design. This group stays small, a spot opens only when someone graduates, and I never add seats beyond that.

Private coaching is reserved for a select few and offered only when a spot opens. Ask about it on your clarity call.

Questions

Good questions

Will this help with a toxic boss or bad manager?

The program is built for exactly that situation. You will name what is happening, including workplace gaslighting, calm your body, and practice what to say and do next. I cannot promise your boss will change, and I will not ask you to fix them.

What if I miss a call?

Watch the recording. Each recording stays available for 1 month while you are in the program, so you never miss the content, even when you cannot make a call live. The guarantee counts calls you attend live, so plan to make at least 20 of the 24.

How is this different from therapy?

Coaching focuses on skills and your next steps at work. It is not therapy, medical care, or crisis support. My full disclaimer is linked in the footer.

I have already done therapy and I still feel stuck at work. Why would this be different?

That is more common than you think, and it does not mean therapy failed or that you did. Therapy helps you heal over time. A toxic job is happening right now: you walk back into it on Monday and need words, boundaries, and a plan for this week.

This program is coaching, not therapy. It takes the self-awareness you may already have and puts it to work, by practicing what to say out loud, settling your body in the moment, and deciding what comes next alongside women in the same situation. I bring my clinical training to it, so if something deeper comes up, I know how to respond and when to point you to a therapist.

Why would a trauma therapist be a better fit than any other therapist? Don't they have the same qualifications?

A license shows a therapist met their state's minimum requirements. It does not tell you what they trained in or what they work on every day. You would not see your primary care doctor for a heart problem or a brain problem. They are a good doctor, but you would go to a cardiologist or a neurologist, because that doctor trained for years in that one area. Therapy works the same way.

I have spent 10+ years working as a trauma therapist and 5+ years specializing in workplace issues. I know what a toxic work environment does to your body, your confidence, and the way you talk to yourself, and I know what helps. A general therapist can be wonderful. A specialist has spent their career on exactly what you are dealing with. This program is coaching, not therapy, and I bring that training to it.

But there are so many other workplace coaches, why you?

There are a lot of good workplace coaches, and many bring real strengths: corporate expertise, guidance on how to leave a job safely, and help with the practical side of a career move. Those things matter.

What I bring is the healing. Toxic work leaves its mark on your body, your confidence, and the way you see yourself, and a plan alone does not undo that. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 10+ years of experience working as a trauma therapist, so you get both at the same time: a coach who is trained as a clinician. This program is coaching, not therapy, and I bring that training to it.

Do I have to tell my employer?

No. Nothing in this program requires you to tell your employer anything.

Is what I share in the group confidential?

Yes. Everyone in the group agrees to keep what is shared in the calls confidential and to join from a private space. What you take outside the group is what you learned and how you apply it.

What if my workplace never changes?

Then you leave with your skills and your plan. If you stay, you stay differently. If you go, you go on purpose.

How much time will this take?

24 live calls across 3 months, plus lessons you work through between calls at your own pace.

How long do I have access?

The course is yours for life, including every update. Live calls, community, and direct access to me through Slack run for your 12 weeks. Each recording stays available for 1 month while you are in the program.

What if I can't afford it?

Payment plans are available, so the investment can be spread out. If you are ready to start but cannot pay in full yet, you can reserve your spot and protect your quote with a small deposit that counts toward your final investment. We will go over the options on your clarity call.

You do not have to be sure. You only have to book the call.

If your work environment is taking more from you than it gives back, the next step is a 45-minute conversation. No pressure, and no obligation.
