“I have never felt as confident and excited as I do now to move forward in my professional life.” — Haja K., New York
You are self aware enough to know that you appear confident and accomplished to others... but on the inside it is a different story.
There's a lot of pressure to 'do life' or be a certain way.
You may not even be 100% sure where all that pressure is coming from - yet you can't seem to escape it.
And how you've been navigating no longer feels congruent with who you've become (let alone who you are becoming).
Are you ready to stop checking boxes and start living in a more aligned way?
This often starts with what I call "better boundaries" – that words gets used a lot these days, but I have a different approach.

You're accommodating – in a good way – because you care about your relationships and connections.
You want to be easy to get along with (most of the time anyhow!).
But - you have noticed you sometimes hesitate to state your needs and preferences - and worry about disappointing people or inadvertently creating conflict.
We are expected to be the good daughter, caring mother, super auntie, committed partner, top-notch housecleaner, family nurse, best friend, neighbor, reliable coworker... and on and on it goes.
And Most Likely
Some women say it's lonely. For some it's unsatisfying. For others, it's a weight they're carrying.
And you may feel guilty or conflicted about how you believe you're supposed to feel, versus how it actually feels, to be where you are.
The permission to be whomever we want did not come with a 'get out of guilt-jail free' card for actually doing so.
The internal conflict you might feel about making changes to shift your future in a new direction is normal and okay.
So is any guilt or doubt you might have.
Your feelings are not bad, and they do not mean you don't have options.
You CAN make shifts because we exist at choice.
(Even if it doesn't always seem that way.)
The path you are on, no matter how far down it you are, isn't the only possibility.
Sometimes finding a new position is the right move, but shifting your professional focus or how you relate to your work (or another aspect of life) without changing jobs can have a huge impact too.
The thing to know is That
We all make choices in our 20s (and 30s + 40s) in hopes of creating joy and meaning in our lives, and to set ourselves up for success in the future.
Curiously, there's an implicit expectation that those choices will last forever.
That might have been true for our parents, but the world has changed tremendously (and continues to)! There's more space to shift than you might see from where you're sitting.

You’re used to figuring things out on your own. Not just ‘used to,' but expected to. Like most women, you are trained to be self-reliant.
But endless self-reliance is actually part of the problem.
Endless self reliance often means we're not as practiced at asking for and receiving help.
When we don't know where we end and others begin, it's much harder to navigate the complexities of mature relationships.
We might tell ourselves 'it is easier to do it all myself' - but we usually know that will lead to overwhelm, if not resentment.
I know a few things about leaving behind imposed expectations and stepping into my personal power - without sacrificing my values or relationships.
