Meet Hannah
LA Native, Executive Life Coach, Podcaster, Speaker, Writer, and Builder of Big F*cking Dreams.
Years ago, my life looked very shiny from the outside. I was a leader at LinkedIn and “thriving” by society’s standards.
There were so many things I thought would make me feel like I was finally enough:
Head of the SMB division. President’s Club. MVP nomination. Promoted 5 times in 7 years. Selected for every high-performance initiative. Sold millions and millions and millions of software. Built and led a team of exceptionally talented people.
…But here’s the truth
I was suffocating from perfectionism and a raging, harsh inner critic.I had climbed the ladder,and I was sitting in boardrooms thinking,“This can’t be all there is.”
Even though I was a high Performer…
No matter how much I achieved, it was never enough.
I would spiral for weeks anytime I received negative feedback or lost a deal.
If I didn’t succeed at something immediately, I questioned my self-worth.
I was always showing up for everyone at work and in my personal life, even when I was exhausted.
I thought having a big job title, a lot of money, and working for a shiny company would cure me, but it never did.
I kept trying to achieve more, to outrun myself and my feelings, until it finally caught up with me.
The more I achieved, the sicker I got. Until one day, I couldn’t even walk to the grocery store.
It was a Tuesday afternoon, and I sat across from my doctor. “This is serious,” she told me. “You have severe burnout. If you don’t change, you may never be able to work again.” I didn’t want to leave my job. I was gripping onto it as if it would save me. Save me from my self-doubt. Save me from the pervasive feeling that if I achieved more, if I only got one more promotion, one more global shout-out, one more piece of recognition, spearheaded one more initiative, that I would finally be enough. Enough for what? I wasn’t sure.
I started my coaching practice because I wanted to figure out why, even when I “had it all,” I was deeply unhappy.
Six months after that doctor appointment, I resigned from LinkedIn. I went on a journey to not only heal my burnout, but also heal my relationship with my career.
I realized that people with toxic ambition and low self-worth make amazing employees. They build thriving organizations, often at the cost of themselves.
They take care of the company. But who takes care of them?
Who is making sure that they are fulfilled, happy, and balanced? That they are getting what they need.
I didn’t become a coach because I had it all figured out.
I became a coach because I didn’t—and I needed to find a way through.
The Life & Work Transformation is a program that every single ambitious professional needs. the framework I wish I had when I was burning out in boardrooms, when I was numbing my truth, when I thought self-worth came from success.I had to do this work first: healing, integrating, facing my shadow, and choosing myself again and again.Now I offer that same process to the high-achievers, overthinkers, people-pleasers, and perfectionists to support their ambition in a healthy way. So they can build careers where they thrive rather than just survive.
