Your weirdness is the heart of your leadership. Reclaim it.
Build the self-trust and inner safety to speak the challenging truth, make the audacious ask, and stay with yourself as your boldest life unfolds.
You're an incredible team leader.
You know how to craft a vision and work towards it.
You're great at dealing when things go off the rails.
You excel at managing up, down and sideways.
And you know how to make your gifts easier for other people to digest so you can get shit done.
But every time you soften the certainty so other people have room to speak, downplay your ambition so you don't intimidate people, call your confidence “ego” so people don't think you're an asshole, slow yourself down so everyone else can keep up...
Every time you make yourself more relatable, less threatening, less weird, less intense, you affirm the subconscious idea that you have to tone down what makes you magic.
And that's why you feel simultaneously like you have so much untapped potential and also totally burned out and exhausted.
Going all in means doing less better.
It means identifying the ways you're making your path harder than it has to be, so you can put down the burdens of perfectionism, proving yourself, or trying to be a version of yourself others approve of but who just doesn't feel like you.
Together, we’ll find the unconscious rules make you hold back, second-guess yourself, over-function, or shrink your vision to keep other people comfortable.
You’ll practice making choices from your own deeper knowing—
and trusting yourself to handle whatever life brings you as you give yourself permission to bring the business, the leadership role, the book or event space, the road trip across the country— whatever dream you've been telling yourself is impossible or unrealistic but that won't stop knocking at the door of your dreaming.
Your needs, creativity, and sense of fun are part of your leadership. Our work together will stop you talking yourself out of them just because you can't see the full map from here to there.
You don't have to compromise between choosing yourself and showing up for your commitments. It's actually by weaving both that your magic truly gets to shine.

"Reframing challenges as problems not as a reason to be down on myself allowed me [to] actually make progress...
"Thanks to our work, I'm feeling more solid than ever before. I now have alignment on who I want to be and what I want to do... both what I want and how to get there."
-Emily True (product manager)
Emily came to me as a junior member of a startup where she was struggling to advocate for her ideas and trust her instincts in a low-structure, high-speed environment. Through our work, she built self trust and willingness to advocate for her vision even when working with more experienced colleagues.
She left Find Your Funktionslust feeling more relaxation, enjoyment, and impact in her work.

“I have left so much stress behind me and I've been able to much more clearly understand [who I am]. I'm definitely on the right path.”
-Kachina Miller (Director -> Founder)
Kachina and I started working together when she was feeling her enthusiasm about the corporate path waning, and she wanted to explore her next big move. Our work together clarified her vision and built a path where she could bring all her gifts and passions together under one roof.
She left Find Your Funktionslust with a path to start her business, Watermelon Pie, which marries her leadership experience with her love for community, sustainability, and food.

You know what you want.
Give yourself permission to go after it.
Find Your Funktionslust is a high-touch, 1:1 coaching container for people who have a dream that you've been waiting until the time is right to go all in on.
You wanna go for the big promotion.
You wanna start the business.
You wanna create the foundation.
You wanna create the big event.
But your mind stops you with stories like:
"But how will you pay for health insurance?"
"What will you tell your mom?"
"What if it doesn't work?"
"What if people think I'm too much?"
In this container, we might explore:
* the business or body of work that keeps calling you
* what you would create if you stopped waiting to feel completely safe
* your relationship with money, risk, power, visibility, and success
* the places where you still make yourself smaller to preserve belonging
* the difference between what you actually want and what it feels safe to admit you want
* how to trust your knowing without pretending fear isn’t there
* how to create safety in your mind and nervous system to take big action
* what happens when you start taking real-world action instead of endlessly preparing
Find out. Don’t figure out.
Because you can't figure your way into a new life from the shore.
This is for you if:
* You already have wisdom.
* You already have experience.
* You already have a hell of a lot more clarity than you may realize.
* You're ready to let yourself off the leash.
Inside, you'll get:

"You are the fairy godmother I wanted but didn’t realize how much I really needed this year...
"I was afraid of looking too revealing this weekend in an outfit I wore to brunch... I had on my funky hat and earrings and I realized, holy crap you’re learning how to be comfy in your own weirdo vibe... I went from thinking I looked 'slutty' (literally) to thinking 'I’m a damn piece of art!'”
-Shankhri Balaji (Product & Technology Lead)
Shankhri came to me wanting to "engage with the waves of life better." She struggled with perfectionism and prioritizing herself when it came to creating work-life balance. As you can see from her testimonial, our work became much deeper and more personal, creating the ground for her to celebrate and prioritize herself in all aspects of her life.
She left Find Your Funktionslust in greater integrity, trusting and feeling good about what she does and how she does it.

“If you're ambitious, up for facing personal challenges... you can't do better than Rosa... WORK WITH HER!”
-Beth Hankes (Founder, Earth + Salt adult store)
It was in our final session that Beth came in and exclaimed, "I've got it!" She had a clear vision of what she wanted, where she wanted to do it, and how to make it happen.
She left Find Your Funktionslust with a plan to get her corporate gig to support her in moving states, giving her the freedom to start her business, Earth + Salt, and finally quitting the corporate gig.
"I thought I was exploring a career change... but what I really needed was to zoom out so the lens could encapsulate more of my life"
-Olivia Cerf
Burned out and disenchanted by corporate life, Olivia joined the Radiant Life Collective longing for more meaning and satisfaction in her work.
Soon after leaving the Radiant Life Collective, she quit her corporate gig and took a part time role at a local cheese shop, spending more time with her kiddo and on creative and community projects.
"My happiness in my career is so much more in my control. Because so much of my experience is inside of me... I’ve heard you can decide to look at your situation in a different wya and I thought that meant I was going to have give something up. But I’ve actually GAINED by looking at things in a different way. And it's starting to creep into other parts of my life!"
-Libby Healy (Director of Customer Success)
In our work together, Libby redefined progress to include her values and satisfaction, not just productive output. She let go of using anxiety as her "go-go juice" and found that when she gave herself more room to play and explore, her ideas and output exploded while the pressure she felt day to day got less and less.

With 20+ years leading teams in nonprofit, research, and corporate settings, my career sometimes felt like a match and sometimes like a trap.
When I finally realized how important it was to me to have the whole package feel good: working with great people on projects that excite me and tap into my gifts while contributing to a mission that's doing good in the world, I realized how lucky I'd been to find it in other places, and how much more influence I'd have by starting my own business.
Now I help other brilliant, high-capacity femmes, thems, and more do the same: Stop hiding what makes you weird and start letting your unique gifts lead your life. As you dismantle the rules that taught you to perform for belonging and rebuild unshakeable self-trust you naturally unleash your gifts and find a path that takes you to work that stops feeling like work and starts feeling like play, every day.
