Freedom Journeys Coaching

As a  transformational coach, I help high achieving entrepreneurs and driven professionals to unlock whole life success through working on their internal game (their internal freedom), for greater results in their personal and professional lives (their external freedom and fulfillment).  Being busy all the time can be a crutch.  A crutch that holds us back from whole life success.

I help my clients to re-gain their energy, drive and creativity to thrive in the new normal.

We embark on a personal journey toward internal freedom, unlocking success by creating a compelling vision for the future. With the vision in hand, we reveal the stories, blind spots and beliefs that are keeping them in that place where they believe they have to busy all the time for the vision to come together. 

Finally, we can put the strategies in place to realize the vision, and to gain the freedom, energy and fulfillment we all yearn for.

President

Business Success Coach. Fine tune your business, increase productivity & effectiveness, and THRIVE in life. You can have the life of your dreams when you choose to accept your mission.

82% of employees are at risk of burnout this year – (source: Fortune, March 2024)
Those statistics are even greater for entrepreneurs and business owners.

Have you ever thought that if you just get this one more thing in place, everything would change? But it didn’t? 

You work harder and longer until you go, go, go all the time. 

Then being busy all the time becomes a way of life and you become addicted to the adrenaline rush of multiple projects and tight deadlines. 

One day you look at the barista at Starbucks and think they have way more fun in their life than you do! 

You believe you can handle it. You regularly spend 2 days in burnout, flopped on the couch, flicking through the channels or binge watching Netflix.  Because you don’t have the energy for hobbies or relationships; the things that used to make you feel good and help you decompress!

I know how this feels, and it’s not pretty!

As a business owner for 38 years, I’ve learned to create the systems, habits and procedures to achieve more, and live a life I love, without burnout.

What would it be like if you were in control of your life and your business?  Would you
•	Create memories with friends and family? 
•	Enjoy those hobbies you gave up on long ago?
•	Go on a holiday without checking your phone every hour?
•	Have more fun?

AND enjoy success in business?

Most people think you can’t have it all, unless you’re someone like Richard Branson (he created the systems to live life on his terms).

I offer you 3 simple yet profound steps to having it all.  Do this consistently and you CAN have it all.  

Activate your internal CPU

Clarity – Where are you now?  What do you want? Why do you want it?  

Planning & Implementation – How do you get there? Create and implement the rituals, productivity, systems and procedures to reach your goals.

yoU – Who do you need to become to be that person who can have it all?  The personal growth to develop your mindset, habits, boundaries and self image.

You have 3 options:
1.	Keep doing what you’ve been doing.  Don’t change a thing.  Nothing will change.  You’ll keep flirting with burnout while your life and business stagnate and suffer.
2.	Go through these 3 profound steps on your own, figuring it out for yourself.  After all, you’re bright and capable.  That’s how you’ve gotten as far as you have.  
3.	Enlist a guide and support to accelerate your journey to internal freedom.

Are you serious about creating a life of happiness & fulfillment without jeopardizing your success?

NEW RESEARCH ON FEMALE ENTREPRENEURIAL BURNOUT
(And why your "productivity system" is making it worse)

A 2024 Harvard Business Review study tracked 1,200 female entrepreneurs across 18 months.

The findings:
📊 73% reported chronic overwhelm despite business growth
📊 61% struggled with decision fatigue affecting strategic thinking
📊 89% cited "inability to disconnect" as their #1 challenge
📊 44% experienced stress-related health issues

But here's what shocked the researchers:

The women using traditional productivity frameworks (time blocking, task batching, delegation protocols) showed NO significant improvement in wellbeing scores.

Why?

Because those systems were designed for linear, compartmentalized thinking.

Female entrepreneurs (on average) have brains wired for:
 → Pattern recognition across multiple domains
 → Relational problem-solving
 → Simultaneous processing of complex variables

Forcing a non-linear brain into linear systems creates MORE cognitive load, not less.

The solution isn't working harder on your productivity.

It's designing systems that honor your actual cognitive architecture.

I'm exploring this more deeply in a free 5-day challenge launching Monday.

Details coming Thursday.
