Do you feel small at work?
It’s time to be seen and heard - without fear
I am a career resilience coach helping professional women over 40 find their voice so they can embrace self-authority, communicate with confidence, and advocate boldly for themselves.
In a team meeting, Mia feels her heart race as she debates whether to share her thoughts on a new strategy. If she speaks up too strongly, will they think she's "not nice?" But if she stays quiet, will they see her as "incompetent?" It’s such a frustrating tug-of-war inside her head. She just wants to be respected for her ideas without worrying about how others will label her.
Is this you?
A professional woman afraid to speak up?
Never sure if how you’re acting at work is “right?”
Miranda sits at her desk, staring at the screen filled with glowing performance reviews from clients. Yet, instead of feeling proud, she is consumed by self-doubt. Deep down, she keeps waiting for someone to expose her as a fraud. Despite receiving accolades for her work, Miranda feels like an imposter. Each success is overshadowed by the constant inner voice insisting” “They’ll find out any day now you don’t know anything. Just you wait.”
As Maitreyi sits in the conference room, she watches her fellow start up founders present their ideas. Despite having poured her heart into the project, few of the VCs in attendance seem engaged. When her teammate, Bill, takes credit for a key concept she developed, Maitreyi feels a wave of frustration wash over her. It’s as if she’s invisible, despite the countless hours she has dedicated to the plan.
Shana stands outside her manager's office, rehearsing what she wants to say in her head. She knows she deserves a raise after leading that successful project, but the thought of actually asking for it makes her stomach churn. A tight knot of anxiety forms - what if they think she’s being "difficult?" It’s such a tough spot to be in—wanting to speak up but also fearing the backlash. Shana is worried she may have to leave this job if she can’t do this.
Now imagine a future where you’re fully THRIVING at work - not just surviving.
Miranda sits at her desk, reflecting on the glowing performance reviews from clients with a smile. She feels proud of her accomplishments and knows she has earned her place in the team. Instead of waiting for someone to validate her, Miranda confidently embraces her expertise and recognizes that she belongs here. And that awful inner critic? She’s gone - soothed by Miranda’s inner work and patience with herself
It’s Sunday night and for the first time in forever, Shana feels calm and optimistic about the week ahead. No more downing a full bottle of wine to calm her nerves before another Monday approaches at “Toxic Corp.”
Every morning, Maitreyi wakes up feeling energized and ready to embrace the day. Only 1 coffee needed now. She no longer feels the need to change who she is to fit in at work; instead, she brings her true self to every interaction. In meetings, Maitreyi shares her opinions openly, knowing that her voice matters. Even better? she is now a role model for other women - inspiring others around her to do the same.
Mia is headed to happy hour tonight and in such a good mood, she throws on that red sweater typically reserved for special occasions. This is one! In a team meeting, she spoke up with clarity and conviction, sharing her thoughts on a new strategy without hesitation. Mia feels clear and at peace.

Hi, I’m Becky
You might be wondering why I do this.
I started my career in my early 20s, fueled by optimism and a sense of purpose. I’d done everything “right”—checked all the boxes, graduated with honors, and launched myself into the corporate world. But as I learned firsthand, success for women often came with unspoken rules.
Growing up in Vermont in a nontraditional environment, I hadn’t been raised to blend in or toe the line. Yet, in the corporate tech world, my high-achieving, outspoken nature often landed me in a double bind—“damned if I do, damned if I don’t.” Following the rules often felt like shrinking myself, especially in spaces where I was frequently the only woman in the room.
My go-to motto was “just ask”—a mindset that opened doors until one day, it didn’t. I was floored to find that asking questions could threaten others, particularly those in leadership. My intent was always to learn, not to challenge.
But as the environment grew more toxic, I reached a breaking point. In one pivotal moment, I made a choice: I would no longer conform to someone else’s rules or standards.
I walked away on my own terms and reclaimed my sense of self.
I want the same for you:
To believe fully in your unique skills and abilities—not minimize them because of outdated expectations.
To know, without a doubt, that speaking up is safe.
To trust your way of leading and communicating.
To rediscover joy at work, anchored in the confidence to navigate any situation as *yourself*.
I’m here to help you thrive in your career, not just survive.
I empower professional women to embrace self-authority, communicate with confidence, and advocate boldly for themselves.
