When I began working with Sasha I was very burned out from a demanding job as a middle manager in a nonprofit and I was re-evaluating my life choices. In addition to wanting to realign my career with my true interests and values, I also sought greater work/life balance so I could be more present for my family and my teenage son.

Sasha helped me to explore my strengths and vulnerabilities, which led me to gain a clearer picture of where I had gone of course and how to get back on track. She guided me through conducting a series of informational interviews that further clarified my next career move. She assisted me with practical tasks like reviewing our family budget to determine if I could afford to take some time off and/or a pay cut, if necessary.

I appreciated working with Sasha because she has a social work background and could view my career path through the eyes of a clinician and give me candid and caring feedback. She has also worked in various settings, including the nonprofit sector, so I never had to explain the unique challenges I was facing.

As a result of our work together, I was able to take a self-funded sabbatical before starting a new job that is a much better fit for me, is 100% remote with flexible scheduling, and allows me to apply my skills and passions so that I feel happier and more balanced.

I highly recommend Sasha if you are looking for a coach to guide you through a career transformation and to achieve greater work/life integration.
