Questions
You've got questions.
Here are real answers.
No coaching jargon. No deflection. Just the things women actually ask before they decide to reach out.
The basics
What coaching actually is - and isn't
The questions women ask when they’re trying to figure out if coaching is even the right thing. Start here.
01 Is coaching the same as therapy?
No. Therapy works with the past. Coaching works with the present and future. I’m not diagnosing anything or treating anything – I’m asking the questions that help you figure out what you actually want and what’s been in the way. A lot of my clients are in therapy and coaching at the same time. They work on different things.
02 Can I do coaching if I'm already in therapy?
Yes. Coaching and therapy aren’t mutually exclusive – they work on different things. A lot of my clients do both. If your therapist has questions about how coaching fits in, I’m happy to talk through it.
03 How is this different from talking to a friend or a mentor?
Your friends care about you – which means they have a stake in your answers. A mentor brings their own experience and usually their own path. I bring neither. I’m entirely focused on what’s true for you, with no history between us and no agenda except your clarity.
04 Do I have to be in crisis to work with you?
No – and most of my clients aren’t. They have good lives. That’s not the problem. The problem is that the life is good and it still doesn’t feel like enough. You don’t have to be falling apart to deserve support.
"You don't have to have it all figured out.
You just have to be willing to ask. "
The commitment
Time, investment, and how it works.
The practical questions. The ones about money and time and whether this is actually worth it. Let’s be honest about all of it.
05 How much time does this take?
Two sessions a month, scheduled around your life. A lot of the real work happens between sessions – in the conversations you start having differently, in the moments you catch yourself and choose something new. That’s where the investment pays off.
06 How much does coaching cost?
Coaching is a significant investment – in time, energy, and yes, financially. The intro conversation is where we talk about what’s possible and what makes sense for your situation. If the investment gives you pause, say so. I’d rather have an honest conversation than have you talk yourself out of something before we’ve met.
07 What if I can't afford it right now?
Say so in our intro conversation. I’d rather know than have you disappear without us every having talked. Sometimes the timing isn’t right. Sometimes there’s more flexibility than you think. Either way, an honest conversation is always the right first step.
08 How long does coaching take to work?
Most clients start noticing shifts within the first few sessions – not because something dramatic happened, but because they’re beginning to see things differently. New perspectives surface. Patters become visible. The six or nine month commitment exists because real change isn’t a moment. It’s an accumulation.
The commitment
The questions women ask right before they reach out.
If you’ve made it this far, something brought you here. These are the last questions standing between you and booking a conversation.
09 What if I'm not sure I'm ready?
That’s actually the most common place to start. Ready doesn’t mean certain – it means willing. If you’re asking the question, some part of you already knows the answer.
10 What happens in the intro conversation?
We talk. No pitch, no pressure. I’ll ask about what’s bringing you here, and you can ask me anything you want. At the end, we’ll both know if it makes sense to work together. Either way, you’ll leave knowing more than when you arrived.
11 What if we start and it's not the right fit?
That’s what the intro conversation is for. We both get to decide before anything begins. If we start working together and something isn’tlanding, we talk about it. That’s actually a coaching conversation.
12 Do you only work with women?
My work is designed for accomplished women in their 40s and 50s – that’s who I built this for and who I understand best. If you don’t fit that description but the work resonates, let’s talk
Still have a question?
Just ask.
The intro conversation is free. It’s just a conversation – no pitch, no pressure. If something isn’t answered here, bring it. Tat’s what the call is for.
