Are you tired of constant stress and burnout?

From the outside, you have it all—the big career, the impressive title, the beautiful family.

But inside? You’re drowning.

Before your feet hit the floor in the morning, your mind is already racing. The never-ending to-dos, back-to-back meetings, unread emails—it’s exhausting.

Work follows you everywhere. Even at dinner with your family, you’re mentally replaying conversations and bracing for the next fire to put out.

You care about your work, but it’s taken over. You’ve worked hard to get here, but now it feels like work is taking more than you have to give.

You’ve tried the usual fixes—productivity hacks, self-care routines, even sweaty spin classes. But nothing actually changes the stress.

And if you’re a mom juggling a big job and little kids? You’re burnt out at home, too. You’re the default parent, the mental load carrier. You can’t remember the last time you did something just for yourself.

You know something has to give… or your sanity will.

Imagine, instead, you enjoyed a thriving career that left space for your life.

We’re not talking about running on empty and barely surviving…

We’re talking about truly thriving, where you:

Are in control of your calendar, workload and priorities, finally making progress on meaningful work instead of being stuck in reactive, firefighter mode.

Lead your team with confidence and sustainability, knowing you have the leadership skills to influence, lead, and support– without overextending yourself.

Fully detach from work after hours, showing up as the present, supportive partner, parent, and friend you want to be.

Have time and energy to take care of YOU, whether it’s a morning coffee, yoga class, or finally picking up that dusty book on your nightstand.

You set clear boundaries—without the guilt. Enjoy real work-life balance– No more late-night emails, calls during your kid’s soccer games, or weekend Slack messages.

Pursue your next career step with confidence, knowing exactly what you want and the value you bring—whether that means growing where you are or making a change.

If this sounds like your version of career success,
Then She Leads Well is for you.

Testimonials

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.

Molly N.

Director at a Saasco company

I have been working with Lydia for over a year now and can't recommend her enough! Her style, expertise, insight, and approach has been incredibly. helpful for me as a working mom, navigating a career in tech. Coaching has helped me create more work-life balance and prioritize myself in ways that used to feel inaccessible - like stepping away from work for lunch with a friend or a mid-day yoga class! I appreciate her mindfulness tips she peppers into conversations and materials. As I start planning a job change, the advice and guidance she's giving for resumes, networking, interviewing, etc. has been incredibly helpful!

Angela M.

Healthcare Worker

Before coaching, I was really struggling with clear boundaries between my work and my personal life, often bringing work home. I felt disorganized, unfulfilled, and stuck in a rut. Now, even though I'm in the exact same role, I have strong, healthy boundaries and can mentally clock out after work. I no longer feel like I have to take on everything and feel more meaning and fulfillment at work. Countless small changes have paid off - even a coworker of mine mentioned she'd noticed a positive change in me! Because of coaching, my work stress has declined by 50% and my career fulfillment has increased by 30%.

Heidi E.

Educator

I highly recommend Lydia as a coach, especially to women who struggle to trust their instincts and let go of their own or others' expectations. Lydia was patient and affirming. She provided a range of excellent tools for evaluating how different career paths align with my values and priorities in this post-burnout phase of my life. I have felt so much more motivation and enthusiasm over the past few months!

Manning H.

Web Developer

I highly recommend Lydia as a coach to anyone feeling stuck or questioning their next career move. Her exceptional compassion, leadership, flexibility, and unwavering patience make her an outstanding professional. With extensive experience and expertise in career coaching, Lydia's support is consistently valuable and innovative.

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!
