Career Coaching for Black Healers, Helpers, Hope Dealers, and High Achievers
Unlearn the Strong Black Woman narrative, redefine your relationship with work, and build a life and career that honor your values—not your survival patterns.
Does it feel like you’re carrying more than your role, your team, or your body can hold?
As a Black healer, helper, or high achiever, you’ve built a life around showing up for everyone else.
You know how to hold space, solve the crisis, absorb the chaos, and keep moving—because no one taught you another option.
But lately, the cracks are showing:
You’re holding workplace dysfunction on your back like it’s part of your job description.
Rest feels like a reward you haven’t earned instead of a right you already have.
You delay your needs, your dreams, or your health because someone else “needs you more.”
Your confidence feels tangled up in how useful you are to everyone but yourself.
You can’t tell the difference between genuine alignment and survival-driven loyalty.
You’ve noticed that success hasn’t made things lighter.
If anything, the higher you climb, the more invisible your needs become.
And the cost?
It touches everything.
Over-functioning at work becomes over-functioning at home.
Your body moves at the pace of crisis even on days when nothing is wrong.
Your relationships bend under the weight of your exhaustion.
Your purpose feels blurry. Your joy feels distant.
And the life you’ve built—one that looks incredible from the outside—no longer feels like yours on the inside.
You’re starting to feel the truth you’ve been avoiding:
It’s not that you can’t keep doing this.
It’s that you shouldn’t have to.
Career coaching rooted in rest, regulation, values, and truth.
Imagine what becomes possible when you stop letting fear, loyalty, or obligation steer your decisions—and start leading with clarity, alignment, and self-trust.
Through our work together, you’ll create a relationship with work that is:
grounded in your values
aligned with who you truly are
free from overwork, over-giving, and over-performing
shaped by rest and regulation, not survival mode
reflective of a future you actually want to walk toward
What life can look like on the other side:
You make decisions without spiraling into overthinking.
You choose opportunities with confidence instead of desperation.
You stop shrinking, code-switching, or overperforming to earn safety.
You show up fully—at work and at home—without the Strong Black Woman mask.
You have time, emotional space, and capacity for the life you’ve been postponing.

Q: Is this therapy?
A: No. This is identity-centered, values-led career coaching rooted in rest, regulation, and unlearning. It complements therapy beautifully but does not replace it.
Q: What if I don’t know what I want next?
A: Perfect. Most of my clients arrive in transition, exhausted, or unclear. Our work clarifies what you want by helping you reconnect to your values and release survival-driven decision-making.
Q: Do I need to be ready to quit my job?
A: Not necessarily. You only need to be ready to stop abandoning yourself for work. Whether you stay, redesign your role, or transition out, we make values—not fear—the foundation.
Q: What makes this coaching different?
A: I address work, identity, race, nervous system regulation, and the Strong Black Woman narrative together. Traditional career coaching ignores these realities. I refuse to.
Q: Can this help if I’m burnt out?
A: Yes. Burnout is often the symptom. The identity, beliefs, and conditioning beneath it are what we transform.
