We don't know:
- What is it that I really want?
- What do I need to feel whole?
- Where am I going, and what for?
You’re a dedicated and attentive working professional, always trying to do the best you can. From the outside it looks like you have everything you need and you know you’re privileged. But you have a nagging feeling that there must be more to life. You just have no idea what that might be.
You're probably also stressed and overworked. You love helping the people around you, because it makes you feel needed, but it's just too much.
You dislike conflict and don't want to stir up any difficult situations, so often you agree to things because it's much easier than finding the right words to decline and fearing the reaction afterwards. When you do decline, you often replay the conversations in your head, whether you were too harsh or said something wrong. The other person could be mad or think less of you. You've developed your own way of saying no: making up excuses, inventing other things you need to do instead, but it feels disingenuous and it's draining, right?
You secretly feel like there’s something wrong with you. Most people around you seem to have their sh*t together, but you feel like you missed an important memo on life. You have no idea what to change about it though. But you want to find out!
- exhausted from trying to please everyone
- overwhelmed
- overworked
- in a hamster wheel
- insecure
- remote-controlled
- afraid to be alone with your thoughts
- a bit scared of what you'll find out if you look closer at your own stuff
You crave:
- clarity
- ease
- a sense of purpose
- peace of mind
- feeling more in touch with yourself
- a sort of compass for the path ahead
You're so ready to get to know yourself better, but if you're being really honest with yourself, you’re also afraid of what you’ll find out. (I know this feeling, I've been there, too. Trust me: The fear you're feeling right now is so much worse than facing what you're afraid of facing and finally setting yourself free. )
Maybe you’ve tried therapy (which is great), but it wasn't with the right person? Maybe you’re talking to your friends and reading self-help books, but your underlying doubts haven’t changed.
I can help you:
- gain clarity on what you really want
- face your fears
- learn to trust your gut feeling again
- get in touch with your emotions, needs and desires
- figure out daily habits to stay in touch with yourself
- craft a roadmap for what's to come
I created “Finding My Own Path” - because I want you to have that peace of mind that comes with knowing you’re on the right path. YOUR path. The one that’s right for YOU.
In this program I'll provide the space, the framework and the tools that will enable you to get to know yourself better, truly and completely, and to develop a clear plan for the next action steps.
I can help you with this because I know how you feel.
I’m a recovering people pleaser myself and also highly sensitive. I know first-hand how hard it is to trust your gut feeling when all your life, you’ve been so attentive to pleasing the people around you. It’s like you know what they need better than you know yourself. I’ve developed this coaching program by researching the particular intersection of sensitivity and people pleasing.
I now help people like you achieve this as well! This might happen to you, too. By working on yourself, you'll inspire positive change in the people around you. I love this work because I imagine a world in which more people can contribute in a meaningful way, from a place of happiness and clarity.
The world will be a better place.
- you’re ready to do some inner work with my guidance.
- you’re in a place where you want to prioritize your well-being and inner peace but you don’t know how to do that and where to start.
- you’re interested in your personal development and will take the time to do your homework (if wanted) or self-reflection in between sessions.
- you just want someone to tell you what to do next. Coaching means that I help you find your own solutions – I don’t find the solution for you. But I have lots of inspiration along the way – and the methods to guide you.
- you’re not willing or able to make yourself a priority for ten minutes per day.
The first step towards a happier, more relaxed you is to book your complimentary discovery call to see if we're a good fit!
And then...
Let's tap into the compass that'll lead you to your own path.
I'm looking forward to being your companion on your personal journey.
Testimonials
Stefanie is an excellent coach. She brings sound methods, structure and a lot of empathy to the process. At the beginning I had questions in different areas. Stefanie gave space to all the topics that moved me, and this allowed for a lot of clarity to emerge. I feel empowered, strengthened and motivated for my next projects. Thank you very much for this Stefanie, getting coached by you was a real gift!
- Marianne, teacher
In addition to the rational understanding and contemplation of boundaries and needs, I have acquired a practical ability: My body now understands where my boundaries are, where I need to draw a line. That’s incredibly important, because I now go into potentially overwhelming situations with body and mind, contemplating emotionally. My whole SELF now says no, so I have complete support from myself, which is incredibly helpful. After working with Stefanie, I have less shame around saying no, and am less overwhelmed by it. I now understand „no“ not as a deficit or weakness, but as a strength.
- Luise Pilz, art historian and editor
I am a very sensitive person and take a lot of things to heart and think ‘what is wrong with me’. I was struggling with saying no and setting boundaries. Sometimes with friends, work colleagues, family and even in dating situations. Sometimes I just didn’t have the confidence to say no and be more assertive. From working with Stefanie over the last 5 sessions I built my confidence around saying no. When situations arise now where I want to say no, I say no. In relation to work, if the workload is too much or the ask is impossible I will now speak to my superiors about it – but previously I would have worked til late into the night. I have also learned to stand up for myself and address situations now where I am in a sense hard done by. I have more self respect for myself now and am not a walk over. Stefanie, You’re amazing at your job and it was fantastic working with you.
- Annie Rooney, accountant
My coaching with Stefanie didn't just teach me new things, it changed my whole way of relating to myself and the world. Being able to value myself and define my boundaries saved my life in dealing with customers at work, for instance. It also made my personal relationships healthier - most of all, my relationship to myself. Stefanie led me in a self-exploration shedding vital light on dark places. I honestly can't imagine how my life would look without this coaching. I wish everyone could have this experience.
- Stephanie Pearson, Museum Professional
Working with Stefanie as my coach was truly remarkable and incredibly fruitful on a personal level. Her compassionate yet challenging approach has empowered me to undergo significant growth throughout our coaching journey. One aspect that truly stood out is Stefanie's innate talent for asking precisely the right questions, delving into even the most personally relevant topics that may not have initially been apparent.
- Olivia F., Creative Strategist
I am happy I decided to embark on this coaching journey with Stefanie. Working with her has been a truly transformational process. Stefanie guided me through the process of becoming more assertive and setting healthy boundaries. This automatically boosted my self-confidence.
She helped me with different tools and techniques and, most importantly, she made me realise that I already had most of the tools and skills to become more assertive and set my boundaries, it was just a matter of practice, until it became a reflex. Thanks to Stefanie’s coaching, something clicked in me, and although it is a learning process, I feel I am already on the right path and have accomplished a lot since I started the coaching.
I can highly recommend Stefanie, she is a very professional and experienced coach, who can help you get the best out of you. She is very genuine, which makes the whole process very natural and effective.
THANK YOU STEFANIE!
- L. Sana, Banking Executive
Thanks to the utterly insightful and substantial coaching from Stefanie, I managed to not only make but also execute a significant and long overdue decision. I gained valuable insights about myself; Stefanie employed useful tools to mentally take me to places I couldn't have reached on my own.
What I find truly unique and immensely helpful is her approach of providing a comprehensive summary after each session, allowing me to fully focus on thinking during the session itself. Remote coaching via Zoom worked well for me. Stefanie's availability between sessions was also fantastic, with her thoughtful check-ins via email, which I quickly grew fond of and gladly utilized.
There's no doubt that the coaching propelled me forward and (re)activated my own strengths!
