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.
MY PURPOSE
to normalize the pain of the human
experience and help others rise from it
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.
-
![Abstract mountain landscape with large gold, silver, and black mountains, a white mountain, a silhouette of a sun setting or rising, and a dark ocean background.]()
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.
-
![A lioness lying on rocky ground with a mountain valley in the background. There is a pink and orange gradient circle behind her head, with a winding river and green hills under cloudy skies.]()
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.
-
![A pink water lily floating on a body of water with waves, with a clear sky in the background.]()
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.
