You’re in the Right Place If You're Tired From...

Burnout

Executive Dysfunction

Drained by jobs that consistently ignore your needs and make it impossible to do your best work. Gaslighting yourself into believing, "it's no so bad."

You know what to do - but the second you try to start, your brain shuts down. Too many steps and too little energy.

Masking

Editing yourself constantly to seem "professional enough" - in interviews, at work, even in cover letters and online. It's exhausting.

Fluctuating Capacity

You're increasingly frustrated, "If I could do it before, why can't I do it now?!"

Analysis Paralysis

Stuck in the loop of collecting and comparing job postings. Waiting to feel "ready" before hitting send. Fear of rejection or failure preventing you from moving forward.

Bad Career Advice

You're doing everything "right" - applying online, networking, tailoring your resume for every job - and none of it is actually working.

Coaching from Lived Experience

In addition to working in higher ed, mental health, and career services, I know what it's like to...

Live in a rural area with limited job prospects.
Fail an internship because I never turned in the right paperwork.
Job hop throughout my 20s and still be underemployed.
Almost drop out of grad school because of an AuDHD meltdown.
Manage multiple doctor appointments, medications, and chronic illness while trying to hold down a full-time job.
Become my own advocate to navigate accommodations and medical leave.

I've been in roles where I've failed to live up to others' expectations despite trying my hardest...

I've also been in roles where I've thrived - under the right supervisor, and when I had the ability to work in ways that came naturally to me.

The difference wasn't how much effort I put into each role. It was whether I had the conditions I needed to do my best work.

I'm Ash. I'm AuDHD and have a TBI.

It's like insisting a Vaporeon should evolve with a fire stone... because someone swears it's an Eevee. It just doesn't work.

Finding Your Natural Element

Once you realize you're a Vaporeon:

You notice you've been on a volcano this whole time - overheated... barely enough room to swim... trying to make a tiny hot spring work for you...

Then, you discover there are other bodies of water: bigger ones - with room for you to stretch, swim, and grow.

Oceans. Lakes. Rivers. Swimming pools.

What felt difficult before might feel easier now because your body and the environment have stopped competing with each other.

Some problems may vanish altogether because you left the volcano.

Where you go changes who you're surrounded by, what you can learn, and how you can grow.

A beach attracts different Pokémon than a river through the forest or a lake under an open sky.

But there isn't one "perfect" place to level up...

You don't have to explore every path or anticipate every obstacle before leaving the volcano.

You just need to find a body of water bigger than your hot spring - one that will allow you to explore opportunities you couldn't access before.

If you tell me you know what to do, have tried, and still can't do it - I believe you.

We're not going to keep pouring time and energy into strategies that aren't working for you. So we will critically examine what's going on, make a plan, and do the hard parts together - in session - so you can start seeing progress.
