A compass you can trust through

the wilds of transition.

My Pathfinder Process gives you clarity, alignment, and direction through the journey of personal reinvention.

You’re outgrowing your job.
Your relationship.
Your belief system.

The tension between your inner truth and your outer life has become impossible to ignore. Inside, you’re thinking:

  • “This isn’t me anymore.”

  • “From the outside, everything looks great. But inside, I feel hollow.”

  • “I got everything I thought I wanted⁠, but it didn’t fulfill me.”

  • “I don’t know what’s next⁠—but I know I don’t want this.”

  • “I’m tired of performing.”

  • “There has to be more to life than this.”

  • “Am I crazy? Other people would kill for what I have.”

  • “Something deeper is calling me — but I don’t know what it is.”"

PERHAPS YOU’RE:

Questioning your profession.

You’ve hit every milestone and earned every title⁠⁠—but still feel like something’s missing. Or maybe you’re tired of a working a job that doesn’t feel like you⁠—that doesn’t align with your gifts, purpose, or creativity. You’re ready for a change.

Ending a meaningful relationship.

You’ve made the brave choice to end a relationship that’s no longer aligned with with what you need and who you’re becoming. You’re ready to find yourself again; to begin a new chapter that is authentically you.

Leaving behind a belief system.

You spent ages identifying with a faith, ideology, or belief system ⁠—only to realize it’s no longer true to you. Your identity is in flux, and you’re craving solid ground through the process of psychological reorganization.

Making a big lifestyle change.

Pursuing a long-held dream. Going against the grain to stand up for what you believe in. Breaking a lifelong habit. You’re bravely letting go of old ways of being⁠ to embrace your values⁠—and you’re seeking support along the way.

You want the clarity to know how you got here, what you want, and where you’re headed..

You want the courage to trust your gut, go against the grain, and follow your heart.

The Pathfinder Process gives you both.

“I’d honestly given up on having a career that felt like my calling. But then I saw one of your Instagram posts about how life feels when we’re disconnected from meaning⁠—empty, disconnected, going through the motions⁠—and I thought, That’s me! I don’t want to live like this! I was raised with intense family pressure to ‘get a good job’ and ‘earn a lot of money,’ and our coaching helped me untangle THEIR expectations from MY values. I will always be so grateful to you for helping me trust my gut and follow my own path. I start grad school next month to become a therapist. At age 40! Let’s goooo!” ⁠— Dylan

HOw I lost—and found—my path

I know how strange it feels when the life you’ve worked so hard to build stops feeling like you. The roles you’ve played no longer fit. You can’t ignore the voice in the back of your mind saying, “This isn’t me anymore.”

It’s the moment of personal reinvention. And I know it intimately.

For most of my life, success was my meaning and my identity. I built a booming coaching business, had hundreds of thousands of followers, and signed a six-figure book deal. It looked like I had it all—and for a while, I thought I did.

But behind the scenes, striving left me burnt out and disconnected from myself, my loved ones, and my community—and no amount of achievement soothed that ache. I tried to ignore the tension, but deep down, I worried that the path to fulfillment I’d been chasing was a mirage.

Then, at the peak of my career, a cascade of emergencies shattered the illusion. I couldn’t pretend anymore: the life I’d built wasn’t aligned with who I was becoming, and success could no longer carry the weight of my meaning. I was outgrowing my old path, and everything—my career, my identity, my values—was called into question.

Through disorientation and lostness⁠—through fear, self-doubt, and my heart’s deep knowing that I needed something more⁠⁠—this is how I unraveled the story of who I’d been, made space for who I was becoming, and rebuilt my life from the inside out⁠: a life powered not by external expectations, but by connection, depth, and meaning.

“Leaving my marriage felt like free-falling into the unknown. I had no idea where I was going. I just knew I couldn’t live like that anymore. Your coaching was godsend because it gave me solid ground beneath my feet when everything else was changing. ⁠You normalized all of my complicated emotions and helped me rediscover who I was and what I wanted after basing my identity around my ex. Now, I love my apartment. I love my art projects. I love the friends I’ve made! I feel like me after decades of feeling like a ghost. Thank you Hailey.” ⁠— Paige

MY PATHFINDER PHILOSOPHY

Guiding you through the terrain of transition

Transitions are external and internal journeys. On the outside, your job, relationship, community, or lifestyle is changing—but on the inside, something deeper is shifting: your identity, beliefs, values, and sense of meaning.

By the time most clients find me, their internal journey is already underway. They’ve outgrown an old version of themselves, but haven’t yet stepped into the new one. 

This in-between space can feel disorienting, like an identity crisis (trust me, I know)—but in truth, it’s a natural part of the path. Every transition is different, but they follow recognizable phases and patterns—and I help you navigate the journey with clarity and structure.

Unlike other forms of coaching that focus on setting a fixed destination and mapping the fastest route, my work centers the journey itself—because that’s where the real transformation happens.

As an ICF‑credentialed coach who has worked with over 500 private clients, I know that the life-changing alchemy of transition lives in the moment-to-moment unfolding of your inner truth: the gut feelings, the sudden flashes of clarity, the disowned parts of you that you reclaim, the values you can no longer ignore.

Knowing how to read the terrain of that inner unfolding⁠—helping you make sense of it, trust it, and let it guide you—is the heart of my work as a coach. And when the inner shifts settle and the next chapter becomes clear, I help you walk toward it deliberately, strategically, and with confidence.

I’m not a travel agent handing you a pre-made itinerary. I’m a seasoned trail guide who knows the landscape—offering your questions, tools, and frameworks that let your inner wisdom lead.

THE PATHFINDER PROCESS: HOW IT WORKS

The Pathfinder Process is my transformational coaching experience that brings your outer world into alignment with your inner truth on the journey of transition.

Transition Work for Comfort and Understanding

We help you navigate the unfamiliar terrain of transitions. Though transitions can feel disorienting, they are predictable processes⁠—and every phase of the journey carries wisdom and opportunities for transformation. We’ll bring clarity to where you are in the transition cycle, offer practices to support you through each stage, and explore how external shifts (like a career change) mirror profound internal shifts to your identity, values, and beliefs.

Values Work for Clarity and Direction

Your values are the core principles that shape your sense of what's important in life. Together, we create your Core Values Compass so you can navigate toward what matters most—especially when the trail disappears and the next step feels uncertain. Your compass gives you the clarity you need you make aligned decisions; determine priorities; set empowered boundaries; and move forward with integrity.

Meaning Work for Vision and Coherence

Every journey needs a why—and we’ll help you figure out yours. Research shows that a meaningful life is built on four pillars: Belonging, Purpose, Transcendence, and Storytelling. How they show up⁠, and how much of each we need, varies by person. Together, we’ll unlock your unique Meaning Blueprint: the personal balance of these four elements that brings you the greatest sense of fulfillment.

Parts Work for Courage and Self-Compassion

Parts work helps us avoid hazards on the trail. Transitions can stir up urgency, limiting beliefs, and fear of disappointing others⁠—and it helps to have a spotter who knows the common growing pains and can help guide you to solid ground. By honoring⁠—and soothing⁠—any fearful parts, we create holding space for your complexity and space for your values⁠—not your fears⁠—to lead the way. External pressures may still show up⁠—but they don’t dictate your path.

Solution-Focused Coaching for Practical Change

Once the summit comes into view, we ensure you have the motivation, the supplies, and the map to reach your destination. We’ll pair an inspiring, big-picture vision with simple, doable action steps so you can start living your values every day. We’ll also get practical: looking at finances, logistics, and how to handle people in your life who may not understand your new path. This step gives you the accountability and structure to turn your insights into lasting change.

“I remember clearly how lost I felt before our first call. The series of thought-provoking questions you asked throughout the coaching process helped me transform faster than I ever thought possible. I'm literally shocked and amazed at how in alignment my life feels now. Thank you Hailey. You are an expert at what you do!” ⁠— Ed

On the other side of the Pathfinder Process, my clients experience:

RENEWED VITALITY

You feel more alive than you have in ages. By aligning your life with your values and desires, you’ve reclaimed your energy and joy.

AUTHENTICITY

The tension of living a life you’ve outgrown has been replaced with the ease and flow of walking a path that’s truly yours.

DEEPER MEANING

You’re confident you’re living your most meaningful life, because you’ve oriented it around the big questions: Who am I becoming? What do I believe in? What matters to me?

SELF-TRUST

By going against the grain and following your heart, you’ve build confidence, resilience, and trust that you’ll act in alignment with what you need—even when it’s hard.

HAPPIER RELATIONSHIPS

Now that you’re showing up to your relationships from your true self⁠—not a performative role⁠—you connect with more presence, openness, and honesty.

JOY and CREATIVITY

Self-suppression stifles your life force. Now that you’re taken the leap to live authentically, your playful and creative energy has returned in droves.

COACHING WITH ME IS:

#0: Not therapy.

Therapy traditionally centers understanding the past, fixing problems, and addressing emotional distress and mental health concerns. Coaching is a desire-driven, future-focused, and actionable process—an uplifting space where you can slow down and get inspired about designing a life that aligns with your values.

#1: Possibility-driven, not problem-driven.

Our sessions focus on what excites you, rather than what’s “wrong” or needs fixing. By shifting the lens from limitations to opportunities, we help you see new paths and build a life that honors your deepest values.

#2: Actionable, not abstract.

We transform your lightbulb moments into concrete action steps so that you’re walking the walk, not just talking the talk.

#3: Provocative, not passive.

I meet you where you are⁠—but I won’t let you stay there. With warmth and candor, I invite you to think more expansively and challenge your limiting beliefs. I know you are capable of depth, courage, and transformation.

#4: Self-honoring, not self-improving.

You don’t need to improve yourself. You need permission to listen to the self that’s dying to break free. We help you strip away external pressures and get inspired to live in a way that’s aligned with who you are.
