Stop Overwhelm & Guilt: Your Clarity Coaching FAQ & Pricing
Q: I'm already completely overwhelmed. How can I possibly add coaching or self-care to my schedule? I don't have an hour to spare.
I hear you. I really do. I was once in your shoes and thinking I had zero time for myself. Until my health told me that I no longer had a choice. I was forced to take care of myself. And I'm so thankful for this health scare—it's what changed the game for me. I'm now living in ease and flow, and this is what I now work with my clients around.
Can you see how the truth is, you don't have the time not to do this? Even setting aside your health for just a second, I'm betting you may also be spending massive amounts of energy (and money) managing the chaos. Am I right?
Here's the truth. My coaching isn't about adding tasks; it's about removing the mental load and creating clarity. We start small, focusing on micro-changes that free up emotional space immediately. Our goal is to reclaim the 3-5 hours you currently lose to indecision, guilt-spirals, and reactive firefighting, making space for guilt-free self-care and focused work.
Q: What makes your methodology different from the usual time management advice?
Standard time management focuses on optimizing tasks (calendars, lists). The Inner GPS methodology is about optimizing you.
Traditional methods fail the Sandwich Generation because your schedule is constantly hijacked by family crises. My method works because it tackles the root causes: limiting beliefs and perfectionism. We teach you how to reconnect with your intuition so you can quickly make decisions, confidently set boundaries, and avoid the chronic exhaustion of constantly second-guessing yourself.
Q: I feel so much guilt when I prioritize myself. How can I overcome the feeling that I'm letting my kids or parents down?
Guilt is just the worst. In fact, it is the primary weapon of overwhelm. I don't just teach you to set boundaries; we address what is lying under the surface: the woman who feels she must earn her worth through constant sacrifice.
We transform guilt into clarity. You'll learn to set boundaries from a place of love, not resentment, understanding that showing up as a calm and present parent/daughter/wife is the best thing you can do for your family. The goal is to move from earning your calm to simply enjoying your peace.
Q: I have a unique family situation (e.g., special needs child, long-distance parent care). Can you still help?
Absolutely. I hold a Certificate in Life & ADHD Coaching and have a strong focus on complex family dynamics. My empathetic guidance is built around providing practical solutions for your specific, unique version of chaos. Your story is safe here, and your solutions will be tailored to your reality.
Process, Programs, and The Next Steps
Q: How will I know you are the right coach for me?

Q: What is the typical time commitment, and how often do we meet?
This depends on the program you choose:
-
1:1 Clarity Coaching: We typically meet for 45 minutes three times a week over Zoom for three to six months. Between sessions, expect to dedicate 1–2 hours per week for easily integrating and implementing strategies, mindset work, and journaling (often using easy to use tools like my Self-Care Sanctuary Journal).
-

Q: What can I expect from you as my coach?
-
Be a partner in bringing out the best, the deepest, and the truest in you;
-
Provide safety, encouragement and support; an environment in which you can relax and explore;
-
Respect the confidentiality of the agreements we make;
-
Expand your view of what is possible and promote discovery of new insights;
-
Give you input, straight feedback and operate as a sounding board;
-
Listen carefully to what you say and ask questions that increase awareness;
-
Be an on-going resource for you in accomplishing your intentions.
Q: Is your coaching focused only on logistics (time) or emotional burnout as well?
It's both, and they are inseparable. Overwhelm is an emotional problem, not a time problem. While we implement magically effective time management techniques (logistics), our primary focus is on emotional resilience, shifting your mindset, and developing the tools to preserve your sanity and recover from burnout.
Q: What if I sign up for this and decide it is not right for me? Do you have a money back guarantee?
Yes, I call it my "participate and get your money back" guarantee. If within the first month of our relationship you show up to the calls and participate fully in the coaching process, you can simply let me know this is not working for you and I will completely refund your money. To honor the coaching agreement and the coaching process, if you sign up and do not show up for your coaching sessions, do not do the follow up work, etc, then we will not refund your money.

Q: What makes up a "Welcome Packet" and what do I do with this?
A welcome packet consists of some basic forms, documents, and resources that will help to get us started in the coaching process. By completing the information in the welcome packet, you are providing me with some helpful information, so that I know best how to support you, guide you, and work together with you. It includes a "Client Profile" form, a "Goals" form, and also a "Discovery" form. You will also find our coaching agreement located in this packet. It is customary for you to complete these items prior to our initial coaching session together.
Q: What if I need to reschedule my appointment?
It's easy. With at least a 24 hour notice, you can reschedule any appointment by using the online calendar system. Just complete the following steps:

Click on the "edit" button and change the details of the appointment to correspond with an "Available" block of time.
The calendar will update itself, you'll see your new appointment reflected, and I will receive an email notification letting me know of the change.
