HERE'S WHAT WE'LL EXPLORE TOGETHER:

A sneak peek into my 1:1 coaching program

Week 1: “What am I doing here?”

We start by addressing the big question: Why does life feel this way right now? Together, we’ll explore the emotions, expectations, and experiences that have brought you to this point, uncovering the deeper challenges beneath the surface. This week lays the foundation for understanding where you are—and where you want to go.

Week 2: “What’s happening? I’m supposed to be happy….”

Feeling like you should be happy but aren’t is a heavy weight to carry. This week, we’ll dive into the gap between your current reality and your inner expectations, helping you navigate guilt, unfulfilled dreams, and the societal pressures that may be holding you back.

Week 3: “I am me. Anybody interested?”

It’s time to reconnect with who you are. This week focuses on rediscovering your identity and reclaiming your confidence. We’ll explore what makes you you—your passions, strengths, and aspirations—and how to express them boldly in a world that often overlooks the trailing spouse.

Week 4: “I am standing still. Is this really all I am?”

This week, we shine a light on the stagnation that so many women quietly carry. Through the RESET lens, we’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck—and how to move again with purpose. We’ll challenge limiting beliefs, revisit your goals, and begin to rebuild momentum in a way that feels aligned and exciting.

Week 5: “Money doesn’t grow on trees, sweetheart.”

This one’s big. Whether you’re redefining your relationship with money, stepping into financial independence, or simply craving a sense of agency—this is where we talk about power. Real power. We’ll use the RESET framework to examine money stories, release guilt, and build the foundation for a more empowered financial future.

Week 6: “What’s next for me?”

We wrap the journey by zooming out and looking ahead. What kind of life are you choosing now? What version of you do you want to grow into? We’ll use this final session to map out your next chapter—and plant the seeds for the future you’re stepping into. The RESET Method ties it all together, leaving you with the clarity and tools to keep growing long after the program ends.

Diplomatic Spouse Support

Strengthen Your Mission by Supporting Its Foundation

Behind every successful diplomat is a family navigating the complex challenges of expat life. For embassies, ensuring spouses and families feel supported isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential for the stability, productivity, and well-being of your entire diplomatic mission.

The Diplomatic Spouse Support Program is designed to ease the transition for trailing spouses and help them thrive in their new roles and environments. By addressing the unique challenges they face—identity loss, cultural adjustments, social isolation, and career disruption—we create a foundation of stability and empowerment that allows diplomats to focus fully on their work, knowing their families are not just surviving but thriving.

WHY THIS MATTERS TO YOUR MISSION

A diplomat’s ability to perform at their best hinges on their family’s well-being. When spouses feel disconnected, unsupported, or overwhelmed, the ripple effects can impact the entire household and, ultimately, the diplomatic post itself.

My program is a direct solution to these challenges, equipping spouses with the tools, resources, and community they need to: Adapt quickly to new surroundings, build fulfilling personal lives, foster a sense of belonging and connection, rediscover their own purpose and passions.

By investing in the well-being of spouses, embassies enhance morale, strengthen team cohesion, and improve the overall effectiveness of their diplomatic corps.

WHAT THE PROGRAM INCLUDES

New City Survival Guides: Tailored to each posting, these guides provide invaluable insights into local resources, services, and cultural nuances, helping families settle in quickly and confidently.

Community Building Workshops: Facilitated sessions to connect spouses, build meaningful relationships, and create a supportive network within the diplomatic community.

One-on-One Coaching: Personalized sessions for spouses to address their unique challenges, rediscover their identity, and design a life that aligns with their personal goals and the demands of diplomatic life.

Ongoing Support: Access to curated resources, events, and an online community to ensure spouses feel connected and empowered throughout their time abroad.

WHAT RESULTS YOU'LL SEE

When embassies invest in their spouses, they see:

-Increased family satisfaction and stability

-Diplomats better able to focus on their roles

-Stronger community bonds among staff and families

-Enhanced representation of your nation abroad

I’m glad you found me!

Maybe you’ve just unpacked your last box in yet another unfamiliar city, staring at the walls of a house that still doesn’t feel like home. Or perhaps you’ve been on this journey for years, expertly coordinating moves, navigating new cultures, and supporting your partner’s career—yet wondering where you fit into the picture.

You’ve asked yourself:


“Who am I outside of this role?”

● “How do I find purpose in a life that’s always changing?”

● “Where can I find people who truly understand what I’m going through?”

You’re in the right place!
