This is for you if…

You want honest feedback and the kind of support that actually changes how you make decisions and take action.

Working with a coach gives you a trusted guide and accountability partner. Together, we’ll cut through the noise of your habits, patterns, and the confusion of your current options—so you can get clear about what you want and how to get there.

Your coaching journey will put an end to one day blending into the next and enable you to intentionally design a new chapter for your life.

Coaching is action-oriented. It’s personal development tailored to your specific goals. It gives you direction, traction, and momentum so you can become the version of yourself you know is possible (but feel too confused to navigate on your own).

What we can work on together…

    • You feel like an imposter even though you've worked hard to get where you are

    • You hold back in meetings even when you know you have something valuable to say

    • You can't figure out how to set limits with a demanding boss or coworker

    • You say yes to everything because saying no feels too uncomfortable

    • You struggle to let go of control and trust others to handle things

    • You know you want more in your career, but you don't know what that looks like or how to get there

    • There's someone at work you're in conflict with and you don't know how to handle it

    • You keep ending up in the same kinds of relationships and you don't understand why

    • You're the one everyone counts on, but you rarely feel like anyone really sees you

    • You have a hard time asking for what you need — sometimes you don't even know what that is

    • You keep the peace, but it comes at the expense of your own needs

    • You feel disconnected from the people closest to you

    • Letting people really in feels risky, so you keep them at a distance

    • You second-guess your decisions constantly, even when you know better

    • You doubt yourself in ways that don't match what you've actually accomplished

    • There's a low-grade anxiety you can't seem to shake

    • You're exhausted from always trying to make everyone around you happy

    • Something feels off, like you're living someone else's life

    • You feel stuck, but you can't pinpoint what's keeping you there

    • You know something needs to change — you just don't know where to start

    • You want to feel more like yourself again, but you're not sure who that is anymore

    • You want to figure out who you are outside of your job and what you do for everyone else

    • You want to stop just reacting to life and start actually building it

Coaching Details

Coaching happens in ‘packages.’ A package is a bundle of sessions and between-session support that takes place over several weeks (sometimes months). This is ideal because sustainable change happens over time and needs to be woven into your real life.

The first step is a free discovery call.

In this call, I’ll learn about you and your goals. I’ll also answer any questions you have.

You’ll leave your discovery call with my recommendation for a coaching package tailored just for you.

Packages start at 12 sessions for $2100

Every customized coaching package includes:

✓ 50-minute private sessions via Zoom

✓ A clear action plan after every session

✓ Unlimited email and text support between sessions

Your package will be personalized with a specific number of sessions, a defined cadence, and an overarching action plan. Midway through, we’ll review your progress and make necessary tweaks to address obstacles and optimize your plan.

What My Clients Say…

  • "Today's coaching session on boundaries and people pleasing was eye opening. I've always had a pollyanna personality, which served me in the past, but is no longer working in my current reality. I prioritized making others happy and comfortable even at the expense of my own needs. Now, I'm focusing on dismantling that false sense of security and addressing what I truly need for my happiness and wellbeing."

    — L.C.

  • "Paula Freeman is formidable in the best sense of the word — she embodies clarity, strength, and a powerful, positive spirit. Her sharp focus, strong listening skills, compassionate tenacity, and keen insights push (or pull) you forward. She'll challenge you and your assumptions, but she's also wise enough to simply let you 'be' when you need to sit back and reflect. I cannot recommend her heartily enough."

    — Robin Cruise

  • "It's hard to fully capture just how transformative working with Paula has been — not just in how I think, but in how I show up in my life. She brings a rare combination of wisdom, compassion, and skill, and has an incredible ability to help you see what you couldn't see before. Because of her support, I've gained a strong sense of agency and confidence that I didn't have before. I can honestly say I am a completely different person today."

    — Rebecca Riley

  • "I reached out to Paula at a time when I was struggling significantly with both work and life — the result was unexpected and transformational. I was reconnected with the best version of myself, and Paula gave me the tools to be more powerful, more authentic, and more peaceful and happy than I've been at any other stage of my life. The results have been incredibly impactful in my professional success, relationships, and personal happiness."

    — Chelsea P.

  • "Coaching changed my life. I have been able to achieve things I never thought possible, in part, because I found a coach who walked alongside me when I was pursuing dreams bigger than me. I was blown away by the tools I learned through coaching — tools I still apply to this very day when I am facing a difficult task."
