How it works
In our session, I’ll help you cut through complexity, frame problems clearly, and uncover actionable paths forward. You’ll leave with a live Mural or Google Doc full of structured notes, reframed opportunities, and next steps you can actually use. If it's not actionable, it's not practical!
1

Schedule, pay, intake

Book a time, pay, and fill out the intake form with your goals and context.

I take your time very serious and the intake form asks for detail and specifics.

2

I make the session document

Based on your intake form, I will prepare either a Mural or a Google Doc to share with you for active, collaborative note-taking and for your personal records.

I may also ask clarifying and follow-up questions to deliver maximum value during the paid time.

3

Live session co-creation

We talk and co-create the session document together during your time and any new ideas, notes, links, and resources will be there for you to take with you.

Ongoing DM/email back and forth is free.

Alteratively, you can book a 30-minute video call for $50, but there is no intake or homework, just dedicated access to that focused time.
