The real shit

Years ago, my life looked very shiny from the outside.

I worked at LinkedIn for over 7 years and “successfully” climbed the corporate ladder:

President’s Club

Nominated for MVP
Selected for every high-performance initiative
Sold millions in 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.

No matter how much I achieved, it was never enough.

I had climbed the ladder,

and I was sitting in boardrooms thinking,

“This can’t be all there is.”

This was because....

My self-worth was tied to my job performance

➞ 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.

➞ In the end, I burned out so badly at 30 that I had to stop working for a year.

My Hero’s Hannie’s Journey:

After I quit LinkedIn, a small voice inside me said, “You should become a life coach.”

I followed that voice and became a certified Wayfinder Life Coach in Martha Beck’s program (Oprah’s life coach).

I found a team of coaches and mentors, and I started rebuilding my life in a way that felt good.

I was done living my life for everyone else.

I was done doing things that looked good on the outside, but felt like shit on the inside.

➞ I went back to school to get my Master’s in Creative Writing.

➞ I became a published author.

➞ I got engaged to an amazing man.

➞ I built a thriving coaching practice that’s true to my values.

I started my life coaching practice

because I wanted to figure out why,

even when I “had it all,”

I felt deeply unhappy.

Now I know:

My self-esteem and self-worth aren’t correlated to my job title, income,

or perceived power.

My self-esteem has been built by taking small, courageous actions each day to live a life that aligns with my values:

I haven’t drunk alcohol in seven years.
I write my novel on the weekends.
I only participate in loving and healthy relationships.
I only work with clients I deeply respect.
I derive great meaning from helping my clients build confidence and high self-esteem, both personally and professionally.

MY PURPOSE

to normalize the pain of the human

experience and help others rise from it

Training & Certifications

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 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 ready to live a life that actually feels good.

Let me introduce you to some of the parts that have caused me to overperform, overachieve, burn out, and tie my self worth to my job performance.

THERE ARE MANY PARTS TO ME AND MY STORY.

THE LITTLE DICTATOR

More is his motto. Do more! Be more! You are not enough! More prestige! More awards! More recognition! This part worked me so hard I burned out at 30 and couldn’t work for a year.
THE BANSHEE

My teenage addict. She thrives in chaos. She is the destroyer of relationships and the killer of calmness. She lives inside a hurricane.
LITTLE MISS TYPE A

She eats gold stars for breakfast. The lover of lists. Her hand is the first one raised. Her papers are the first ones in. Her calendar is color-coded to blissful perfection.
THE SLOTH MONSTER

He’s glued to the couch. Chronic fatigue eases from his pores. Deep down, he’s afraid of the darkness in the other parts. If he doesn’t keep them down, will they destroy him?
THE BLUE-EYED SAMURAI

We walk alone. We don’t need anyone. We came here alone, and we die alone. Independence is our creed. Don’t come close. We walk alone.

I’ve had to work with these parts, understand these parts, love these parts, and heal these parts. I know these parts tried to protect me as best they could.

As I healed my past and focused on my future, new parts of me emerged.

Parts that have allowed me to transform lives in my coaching practice, write a book, start a business, and be in a healthy relationship.

THE CREATOR

She spins tragedy into art. Creativity is her core. She is the language of darkness and hope. She writes on weekends, dances to the rhythm of thunderstorms, and yearns for vitality and transcendence.
THE ALCHEMIST

She is the self-esteem builder. She is the guide who is taking you into your light. In her coaching sessions, she turns self-loathing into self-compassion. She befriends the harsh inner critics and soothes them so they become her client’s biggest allies. She is the wise one.
THE BADDIE BITCH

The speaker of truths. She will not shut up. She will not back down. She is here to share her story and help others own theirs. She’s the star on the stage with the microphone in her hand.
HOPE

The woman who has transformed her deep traumas into life lessons. She believes her pain will be used to help others. She has strong faith that everything is working in her favor. She sings to the universe, and the universe sings back.
