Picture this: A Kansas gal climbing the corporate ladder, two young kids, two dogs, a husband, and adulting galore. As a corporate coach in the making, I was engrossed in studying leadership, curious about why some leaders outshone others. Yet every investment in my career felt like time stolen from my children. Work demanded more hours to vie with the guys for those high-stake projects and roles, so I complied. The world, and my own mind, were convinced I wasn't mom enough, so I dedicated more time to home. I saw less of my bed, more of my office. Then I started doing extra for my spouse, and less for myself. I ended up running myself so ragged that I was hit with chronic autoimmune diseases—pain, fatigue, gut issues, even waking up one day with a paralyzed arm.

Then divorce happened. My ex moved out of state for work, and I was suddenly a single mom, juggling health woes and work-life balance. A year later, a job offer from Chicago presented an opportunity for change. Despite not knowing anyone in my new city, and facing the challenge of raising my girls alone while leading a global business, I felt a sense of relief—I was finally free to design the life I wanted, to raise my girls in an empowering environment and become the role model they needed.

I began exploring how some people managed to be happier in their personal lives. I dove into Essentialism (the disciplined pursuit of less), worked on my mindset, and hit rock bottom before realizing there had to be a better way. As a life coach for women, I embarked on a quest for a solution that allowed for success, motherhood, and a fulfilling life. I started implementing changes, bit by bit, and saw progress—I was working less, earning more, saying no guilt-free, and creating fun-filled weekends with my children. Now, I have a thriving corporate career, a deep connection with my kids, and am free from overwhelm and guilt.

Now, as a woman life coach and a life coach for moms, my passion is to help other working moms create a life they can't help but love—a life where dreams are attainable without sacrificing family, faith, fun, and friends.

I learned the hard way, but I can help you avoid the same pitfalls. Before you lose another year to stress and dissatisfaction, join me on this journey.

Let's evolve together!
With love, Shayla"
