☞ You're here because:
You're burned out or may be heading there. You've spent years overworking, overextending, and sacrificing your needs for achievement. The success you worked hard for has created outer achievement without inner alignment.
You're navigating a major transition. Career change, identity shift, or questioning everything you thought you wanted. The old playbook no longer works, and you're unsure what comes next.
You've tried the quick fixes. Mindset work, productivity systems, and self-help books. But they don't address the lack of clarity and self-trust to implement long-term changes.
You want to reconnect to meaning without giving up your ambition. You want to rebuild your relationship with success so it doesn't require self-destruction.
You're open to using reflective writing to process, reflect, and rebuild, not just plan your next move.

TESTIMONIALS
Insightful Inner Transformation | Writer & Coach
"Mona's unique strength as a coach is in her ability to hold enough space for the swirl of questions and feelings that arose as I explored my inner landscape, while also never losing sight of the core of our work. She is profoundly insightful, and her questions and observations were immeasurably powerful in opening my perspective and infusing old problems and patterns with a new sense of awareness and possibility. Her presence is a balance of deep compassion and unyielding courage, which was a source of modeling and inspiration as I worked on cultivating and trusting those qualities in myself. My free-range imagination and constant use of metaphor were consistently embraced as strengths by Mona, which allowed me to feel more acceptance and faith in my own capabilities. I am a better writer, a better coach, and a better human being after having worked with Mona."

From Stuck to Moving Forward | Sr. Research Assistant
"Before coaching, I often felt stuck and frustrated, uncertain about what I truly wanted. Through our sessions, I uncovered my resilience and realized that fear clouded my clarity and held me back from taking risks. I learned that action is the antidote to stagnation. A 'no' is not a rejection of who I am, but an opportunity to learn and grow. Mona helped shift my mindset and gave me the courage to take chances and explore areas of my life where I had felt stagnant.
As a result, I took meaningful action: enrolling and completing my real estate class, committing to my health, and enlisting a personal trainer. These steps have transformed both my perspective and the trajectory of my personal growth."

Finding Your Voice | STEM Research Professional
"Before starting my work with Mona, I was uncomfortable talking about myself. As a naturally introverted person and a middle child, I was not used to taking up much space. However, Mona's empathetic and insightful approach encouraged me to dig deeper, share more openly, and helped me unearth my values. This discovery has become my true north! I now empower others through my Latinas in STEM book research. Mona's guidance has been transformative, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking personal and professional growth."

Still have questions?
What's the difference between coaching and therapy?
Coaching is forward-focused and action-oriented, while therapy addresses mental health concerns, past trauma, and clinical diagnoses. I'm a coach, not a therapist. If you're managing clinical depression, anxiety disorders, or significant trauma, therapy may be more appropriate. Many clients work with both. During our free consultation, we can discuss whether coaching, therapy, or both would best serve your needs.
What makes your approach different from other coaches?
My approach combines the Study Yourself™ practice with reflective writing and the Hudson Coaching Methodology. It's about processing burnout, understanding your patterns, and rebuilding your relationship with success so it doesn't require self-destruction. I work with high achievers navigating burnout and transition, bringing both professional expertise and personal experience to this journey.
What if I'm not sure coaching is right for me?
In a free consultation, we'll discuss where you are, what you're navigating, and whether my approach feels like a good fit for you. There's no pressure to commit; the consultation is a space for you to explore and ask questions. You can book a consultation or reach out with questions first.
How do I know if I'm burnt out or just stressed?
Burnout goes beyond stress and often shows up as a dysregulated nervous system. You might be burnt out if you're: successful on paper but feeling unfulfilled internally, exhausted despite getting enough rest, easily overwhelmed or emotionally reactive, questioning everything you've worked for, struggling with boundaries, or feeling disconnected from yourself. If you're unsure, we can discuss this further during a complimentary consultation.
What if I don't know what I want?
That's completely understandable and actually a great place to start. Many clients come to coaching knowing something needs to change, but are unclear on what that is. The Study Yourself™ practice is designed to help you discover what you want by reconnecting to your values, processing what you've been avoiding, and creating clarity from within. You don't need to have all the answers; that's what our work together helps you find.
