My coaching isn’t about pep talks or hustling harder—it’s about being in your corner, helping you slow down enough to hear yourself again, remember what matters, and create systems that actually sustain you.When you have space to breathe, everything shifts—your leadership, your energy, your impact.Weekly 1:1 coaching (somatic + strategic)

Helping women make a bigger impact — without burning out.
Meet your leadership coach
Hey, I’m Summer.
I help overwhelmed women step out of burnout and back into alignment.As an Executive Director and business owner myself, I know the cycle: big vision → too many plates spinning → exhaustion that sneaks in until you can’t remember the last time you felt like you. I’ve lived that whirlwind, and I’ve learned how to steady it.My coaching blends practical strategy with body-based tools so you can lead from a grounded place—not from chronic urgency or exhaustion.Whether you’re stuck in the weeds, emotionally tapped out, or just craving more calm and clarity, we’ll focus on what you need most:
• Clarity — untangling the overwhelm so your next steps feel obvious.
• Trust — reconnecting to your body so you can follow what actually feels aligned.
• Systems — building ways of working that sustain your mission and your energy long-term.This is what sustainable, embodied leadership looks like: less scattered, more anchored.
It starts from within—and it’s so much easier with a trusted partner in your corner.
What Becomes Possible
1:1 Leadership Coaching — Tools for Life
This coaching process works like a breath cycle — energy, awareness, release.🌬 The In-Breath — Energy
We’ll pinpoint what fuels you and brings momentum back. That might mean clarifying your vision, setting focused priorities, or building systems that stop draining your time and energy.☁︎ The Hold — Awareness
We’ll pause long enough to see what’s really happening—for you and for your work. Together, we’ll get underneath the surface: the real roots of your overwhelm, the patterns keeping you stuck, and the bottlenecks draining your focus. This is where clarity clicks.☀︎ The Out-Breath — Release
We’ll make space by letting go—of tasks that aren’t yours to carry, systems that overcomplicate, and old stories that keep you stuck. This is where regulation and ease come in, so you can lead without the constant weight of urgency.And underneath it all is my framework: Awareness. Acceptance. Aligned Action.
Because when you breathe into those three things, you stop fighting yourself and start moving forward in a way that feels sustainable, grounded, and like you again.What Shifts for You

🌿 This is for you if...
You’re passionate about building something that matters—whether it’s a nonprofit, a business, or a mission close to your heart. But lately, it feels like you’re carrying the whole thing on your back. You're overwhelmed and feel like you're on the brink of burn out if something doesn't give.You want clarity, calm, and confidence… but instead you’re running on fumes. Most days it feels like you’re holding it all together with sheer willpower—shouldering the mission, second-guessing yourself, and wondering how long you can keep this up before it breaks you.
And then you get a good day or two that reminds you of why you started this in the first place - and you want more of those!You’ve poured everything into this work, but you’re tired. And in the quiet moments, you find yourself asking:
• How much longer can I keep this up?
• When will it feel like enough?
• Where did the joy go?You don’t need another productivity hack or pep talk.
You need someone who actually gives a damn—someone who will honor both your strategic mind and your attuned nervous system — so you can lead with energy, alignment, and ease.If that sounds like you, you’re exactly where you need to be.

Outcomes You Can Expect
When your systems and nervous system are in sync, this is what’s possible:
A Way of Working That Finally Works for You. This is the game-changer. You’ll stop fighting your natural rhythms and start working with them. No more pushing through when your energy is shot or trying to force focus when your body is saying no. Instead, you’ll learn how to use your most productive hours for the work that actually moves the needle, and build in compassion for the times your energy dips. You’ll recognize distractions, perfectionism, and old stories for what they are—data, not failures—and know exactly how to reset. This means fewer wasted hours, more momentum, and the kind of sustainable pace that actually lasts.
Decisions That Don’t Drain You. You’ll have body-based tools to calm the noise and make clear, confident choices—without the spiral of second-guessing or burnout from overthinking.
Alignment You Can Feel. No more forcing yourself into someone else’s playbook. You’ll start saying yes to the things that light you up and no to what doesn’t—building a business or mission that feels like you, not like another set of “shoulds.”
Resilience That Ripples Out. When you’re regulated, everyone feels it. Your systems run smoother. You connect with your clients, donors, and families more deeply because you’re showing up clear and present—not frazzled and exhausted. Regulation is contagious.
Systems that Support Rest Without Losing Momentum. You’ll know how to step back without everything falling apart. Your systems, priorities, and team can hold steady—so you return refreshed, not behind.
Sound familiar?
You’re tired of carrying it all on your own. You want someone in your corner who actually cares and gets it.
You’ve tried pushing harder, but it just leaves you more drained. What you need are tools that help your body settle and your energy return.
You’ve worked with coaches or tried the hacks — but the relief never stuck. You’re craving something that actually lasts.
You want space to breathe, clarity to make decisions, and the energy to keep going — because you know your mission (and your life) can’t thrive if you’re running on fumes.
More than anything, you want to feel like yourself again: clear, confident, grounded… and lit up by the joy and vision that started it all.

✨ The 90-Day Plan
One call can spark clarity, but real transformation happens when you have consistent support and a plan that actually fits you. That’s what the 90-Day Plan is all about: three months of grounded strategy, nervous system support, and real momentum — without burning out.
Here’s what’s included (and why it matters):
Weekly 60-minute coaching calls. Focused time to untangle overwhelm, tune into your body, and take aligned action — so you stop spinning and start moving forward with calm clarity.
Personalized 90-day roadmap. A living plan built around your energy and goals, not someone else’s formula. Every quarter we reset, refine, and keep building momentum.
Voxer access between sessions. So you’re not alone when the “oh shit” moments hit. You’ll have support right when you need it, not just once a week.
Your own Notion Dashboard. One place to keep it all: your roadmap, notes from each call, action steps, and the tools we create together. No more scattered notebooks and lost ideas.
Searchable call recordings + transcripts. Revisit breakthroughs, grab exact phrasing for donor emails, or just hear yourself being more clear and confident than you remembered.
What you’ll have after 90 days:
• More time and energy for what actually matters
• A nervous-system toolkit you can rely on in minutes
• Systems and rhythms that make leadership sustainable
• Clarity and confidence about your next big movesYou can cancel anytime.
The tools, clarity, and practices you build in these 90 days stay with you — and the weekly container makes it easy to practice them, iterate, and keep momentum.
Most clients stick around because the regular check-ins become the place they breathe, course-correct, and show up with more ease — but whether you continue or pause, you leave with lasting tools that support you long after the quarter ends.
My story
You don't have to burn out to make a bigger impact
I don’t do this because it’s some clever business idea or a million dollar scheme.
I do this because I care. Deeply.For years, I’ve watched brilliant women burn themselves out trying to hold it all together. Nonprofit founders, business owners, coaches, creatives — women with huge hearts and visions — running on fumes, doubting themselves, and pushing way past their own limits. I’ve been there too.I know what it feels like to work against your own body. To keep pushing when your energy is gone. To ignore your cycle, your needs, and the signals screaming for rest and for realignment. To put everyone else first, showing up wherever you’re needed, while quietly running yourself into the ground. From the outside it looks like strength, but inside it feels like you’re drowning.I do this work because I believe regulation is contagious.
When one woman slows down, finds her rhythm, and leads from an attuned, grounded place, it ripples. Her team feels it. Her family feels it. Her community feels it. The world feels it.
And honestly? That’s what the world needs more of right now. More healed people healing people. More hope. More love. More women leading from joy and alignment instead of depletion.That’s why I do this work. Because I know what’s possible when you stop running yourself into the ground and start building a way of working that actually works for you. This isn’t about “getting more done.” It’s about creating the impact you’re here for — without losing yourself in the process.
