From Stuck to Sure: How My Client Transformed Her Career Path and Confidence

It’s a strange feeling, signing off from something that changed your mindset so fundamentally. That’s exactly how A.D. described the end of her coaching journey with me — transformative, a little bittersweet, and (in her words) “a gift to myself that I thoroughly enjoyed.”

Let’s rewind.

When A.D. first reached out, she was feeling confused, stuck in her own head, unsure where to go next. She described it as “hitting dead ends” and doing all the “right” things, but getting nowhere. Sound familiar?

Many high-achieving women come to me in that very state — not failing, just... circling. Busy. Accomplished. But disconnected from the version of themselves they want to be.

What we did together was simple, but not easy:

• We clarified the noise in her head.

• We examined the why behind her self-doubt.

• We rewrote the tired old loop that kept her on that round track.

• And we figured out what it would take for her to move forward — with intention, and with integrity.

She said:

“Sarah’s feedback was astute, measured, and genuinely helpful. She helped me understand why I was stuck and how to shift out of the cycle.”

That shift didn’t just change her next steps — it changed how she sees herself.

One of my favourite things A.D. said was this:

“This work gave me a safe space to build the kind of confidence that’s unshakable — the kind that comes from within.”

That’s the heart of what I do. Not surface-level, power pose, fake-it-till-you-make-it fluff. Real, internal confidence — built slowly, sharpened like a knife.

She now views her inner critic as a part of her team, and she’s moving forward with a career path that feels more aligned, not more impressive on paper, but more her.

And that’s what makes it sustainable. That’s what makes it exciting. That’s what makes it hers.

So if you’re stuck at a crossroads, constantly circling the same “shoulds” and wondering why you don’t feel better about it all

Maybe you don’t need a new job. Maybe you just need a new way of seeing yourself.
