Mothers in Leadership coaching circles
Give yourself room to breathe
“I let an incompetent colleague fail yesterday.”
She said it quietly, like a confession.
“I have been covering for him for a year. Picking up slack. Fixing his mistakes before anyone noticed. Yesterday, I let it happen. I let him fail.”
She paused. We held space for her.
“I have never done that in my life.
The women I work with are not short on competence.
They are capable, responsible, and deeply committed—to their work, their families, and their communities.
What they are short on is space. Space to think. Space where they are not managing, covering, or holding it all together for everyone else.
This lack of space is why I created coaching circles.
What is a coaching circle?
A three-person group meeting weekly on Zoom for ten weeks. With just three members, the conversation slows down enough for real thinking to happen.
Here’s what participants have said:
“Part community, cohort, club, all at once.”
“Nobody felt like they had to be perfect. That was unusual—very open and freeing.”
“It wasn’t what I expected, but it’s exactly what I needed.”
“Life changing. Better parent for it. Better spouse for it. Better professional for it.”
These aren’t lessons that were taught. They’re insights that emerged when three women had space to think out loud, together.
What stays with people
At the end of one cohort, I asked a Priya Parker question: “What of this world do you want to bring back to your other worlds?”
“I have a finite number of fucks to give. And I get to decide where they go.”
“I’ve shed a version of myself that wasn’t working. I didn’t throw everything out—just the pieces that didn’t fit anymore.”
“My plate is as full as I want it to be.”
We cover a surprising amount of ground in 10 weeks.
Who this is for
Mothers in leadership who need space to think.
Women who spend a lot of time holding complexity for everyone else. Who are navigating change, or anticipating transition. Who want to think more clearly about the impact they have, not just the minutes they spend.
You don’t need a “problem.” You don’t need a plan. You don’t need to arrive polished (in fact, that’s the point). You just need to recognize yourself somewhere in this.
The details
When: 10 weeks, February through May 2026 (exact dates to be confirmed when group membership is finalized)
Time slots:
Tuesdays, 1:30–2:45pm ET
Wednesdays, 1:30–2:45pm ET

Format: Virtual (Zoom), 3 participants per circle

How to join
The first step is a 20-minute intake call with me. We’ll talk about what’s on your mind, whether a circle feels like the right fit, and which day and time works best for your schedule.
If we both agree it’s a good fit, I’ll follow up with calendar invites for each session, a coaching agreement, and a payment link.
I hope to meet you soon.
