Support for people who live contract to contract and feel anxious about money, negotiations, and what comes next.

I work with people who live contract to contract — creatives, freelancers, and independent professionals — who feel intense anxiety when negotiating pay or waiting for job offers. I teach practical mindfulness and emotional regulation tools that help them stay steady, self-assured, and clear about their value, even under financial pressure.

You didn’t come this far to stop

You Might Recognize Yourself Here If…

You replay negotiations in your head for days afterward
You lower your rates out of fear, then feel resentful later
Waiting for a reply from a potential client makes your body tense and restless
You assume silence means rejection
You struggle to relax between contracts because income feels uncertain
You know your skills are strong, but your confidence disappears when money is involved

My Approach

My approach combines mindfulness, emotional awareness, and practical tools for nervous system regulation. Instead of focusing only on negotiation tactics, we work with the emotional patterns that get activated around money, worth, and job security.

When your body feels safer, your communication becomes clearer, your decisions more grounded, and your professional relationships more sustainable.

This Coaching Is a Good Fit If You:

Work freelance, contract-to-contract, or project-based
Want to feel calmer and more confident discussing money
Are open to mindfulness and emotional awareness practices
Are ready to take responsibility for your growth

This May Not Be the Right Fit If You:

Are only looking for sales scripts or negotiation tricks
Prefer purely tactical business coaching
Are not willing to explore the emotional side of work and money

If you’re tired of the anxiety spiral that comes with negotiating and living between contracts, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

I offer a free clarity call where we can talk about what you’re experiencing and see if coaching feels like a good fit.
