Does Stress & Burnout keep you Overwhelmed & unfulfilled? 

If your career is demanding, unbalanced, and draining, you might feel like…

Work consumes all your time & energy

Your work days are non-stop, leaving you completely drained at the end of the workday with nothing left for your personal life and family.

You’re constantly tired, overwhelmed, and teetering on the edge of burnout.

 

somethings gotta give... or your sanity will

Your job is an unsustainable, jam-packed daily grind.

You can’t keep up the pace anymore and know something has to change, but you have no idea what to do or how to do it.

 

Work/life balance feels like a myth

Your job is all take and no give. You’re tired of work-stress creeping into every area of your life, ruining your weekends, stealing your precious little free time, and leaving you dreading the next work day. 

 

You're tired of being "super mom"

Your a working mom juggling a big, demanding job and little kids, which has left you burnt out at work AND at home.

You’re calm on the outside, but underneath the surface, you’re barely treading water.

 

What if instead, you enjoyed a fulfilling & balanced career?

A career & burnout coach can help you…

Redesign your job or find a new one that aligns with your personality, passions, and personal life

Mentally clock out after work and enjoy being present and joyful with your family

Wake up excited to go to work because you love your job (and the work/life balance it provides!)

Recover from stress more easily and increase your resilience to avoid burnout

Set clear work boundaries to gain more time for your personal life, self-care, and loved ones

Confidently make big career decisions knowing exactly you need to feel fulfilled and engaged

As a triple-certified burnout & career coach with a master’s degree in Industrial-Organizational psychology (the psychology of work & careers), I’ve helped countless women and moms overcome their stress, burnout, and career challenges. As a working mom myself, you can trust that I get you and can help you redesign a career that supports your wonderful life.

Success stories from
past career & Burnout coaching clients

Maddie P.

Employee Relations Consultant in Chattanooga, Tennessee

Before coaching I was feeling extremely burnt out, stuck in my career path, and a sense of aimlessness in life.

I’m only 5 sessions in and I’m already feeling a new sense of awareness of what I value in life and work through Lydia’s discussions and exercises.

What has been especially helpful is identifying my values and needs, mapping activities to meet them and get more of them in my life, and looking at what career paths overlap my different needs.

Amber T.

Highschool Teacher in Chattanooga, TN

When I started coaching, I hoped to find answers and advice for what to do next in life. What I found is that I had all of those things within me. I realized that external validation doesn’t feel as good as having a deep inner knowing. I gained the confidence to ask for what I need in both personal and professional settings.

I learned to trust myself and made the decision to walk away from a job because it wasn’t what I wanted anymore. My expectations were far exceeded because I gained more than I had dared to hope for.

Hayley S.

Creative Entrepreneur in Chattanooga

I signed up for coaching during a career transition. I had been fairly unhappy in my job and was looking for help to make a pivot towards a career more closely aligned with my passions.

After coaching with Lydia, I have a better understanding and appreciation for my talents and how I can use them to make a difference. Both in a career and in life in general. I also find I have a healthier relationship with how much a career defines a person.

One of the biggest qualities I found very helpful when working with Lydia is her background in psychology. Being able to have a mindset that considers mental health and neurodiversity really made our coaching feel really productive and oriented around the whole person.

I also really appreciated all of her worksheets and follow-up emails that always included extra resources. 

Working with Lydia is a great opportunity to grow career-wise and personally. You’ll learn how to grow and pivot your career while focusing on making a long-term impact on yourself.

Laine A.

Caregiver in Nashville, Tennessee

Through coaching with Lydia, I learned how to speak to myself more kindly and how to differentiate helpful and healthy thought patterns from more toxic and unhelpful ones.

One big breakthrough I had was the idea that I am already in the process of creating my “dream life.” I felt so far away from it beforehand, but Lydia helped me to see that I am in the active process of creating it, and that I have evidence to back it up.

We walked through what my dream life looked like, and she helped me see all the ways that I was already directly manifesting that in my current life. Now I feel like I can better enjoy my current life while still working on creating my next chapter.

David K.

I hired Lydia because I wanted to analyze my life in a way that I struggle to do on my own.

Working together feels like being with a scientific expert. Coaching helped me not just to imagine a future, but to plan it out meticulously. This helped me to see the potential life change for what it actually would be.

Overall, this process has made me more mindful, gain acceptance for my situation, and be happier. I feel that I’ve achieved greater focus and a better grasp of what I am in control of in my life.

Kaylee G.

Entrepreneur in Boston

“I can do hard things” are words I couldn’t say whisper before I started working with Lydia. It’s not something I believed.
Now, almost 12 sessions into our Coaching Sessions, and I feel like I can shout it from the mountaintops. I actually think I say it every day.
The action steps (homework), links to articles, and references that Lydia has brought into my life have helped my confidence, direction, and gratitude. 
I’m grateful for everything I have learned so far with Lydia and her incredibly strong spirit.

Celeste C.

Human Resource Consultant in Atlanta, GA

Lydia coached me through an Enneagram session. She was very thoughtful in her approach and did a great job explaining what the assessment was and how it could help me better understand myself.

What was great was she focused on how my personality traits show up in all aspects of my life, like home life, friends/family, and career/work. She then worked with me to devise a game plan on how I could improve areas of my life by leaning into my strengths and followed up with additional resources and next steps.

Lydia is kind, understanding, and patient – she is a great coach who guides and supports your self-discovery journey!
