Meet Paula
Ambitious, driven, successful, responsible, giving, devoted, resilient, determined.
If these adjectives are ones the people in your life could use to describe you as a person, you probably also recognize some of the following:
Overwhelmed, overworked, anxious, inadequate, guilty, stressed, stuck, lost.
Because as you well know, strong women who shoulder the weight of the world often find themselves struggling to keep themselves afloat while they dole out life rafts to everyone else around them.
This might just be the story of your life, but it’s also the tale of mine.
The defining difference is how we choose to write the next chapter.

I spent the better part of my career in a professional services capacity, operating in a high-pressure, high-demand work environment. And while I’ve long respected and appreciated my firm and my roles, they were often hard to leave at the door when I came home. I walked the tightrope of unexpected single motherhood and, ultimately, caring for my aging parents.
I strove to excel in every area of my life. Professionally, with two CPA licenses, a flourishing 33+ year run at PwC, high-level promotions, and a desirable income. At home, with two amazing sons and, ultimately, helping my parents navigate their loss of independence. I was often left feeling inadequate, juggling so many balls in the air that it seemed like I kept dropping them.
And yet, it’s the struggle inherent in that journey that has most influenced the person I am today. It’s these very challenges, the ones so similar to your own, that have prepared and positioned me for success as a life and leadership coach.
I understand what it means to feel like the days are simply passing you by, as you live each moment in a tunnel of responsibility. I know the toll an inability to set boundaries can incur. I recognize the experience of wanting to make a big change but being paralyzed by fear.
And I also know that with the right support, it’s possible to walk through and beyond these challenges.
