A 90 day reset for high-capacity professionals who are done paying the hidden cost of competence.
You have been carrying more than your share at work for a long time.
Not one incident.
Not one bad moment.
A steady pattern of absorbing responsibility, urgency, emotions, and fallout so things keep moving.
You keep showing up.
You keep delivering.
You keep functioning even when your body is tired and your patience is gone.
Maybe you changed roles or teams.
Maybe you are still right in the middle of it.
Either way, the load has not lifted.
You find yourself questioning your reactions and second guessing decisions that used to feel easy.
You feel emotionally drained but still responsible for holding things together at work, at home, and internally.
And underneath the exhaustion, a deeper concern keeps surfacing.
Work did not always take this much out of you.
But now you are almost always tense or completely checked out.
You overthink what you say.
You read between the lines.
You stay alert for signs that something is about to go wrong.
You have tried working harder.
You have tried being more accommodating.
You have tried staying quiet and keeping your head down.
And the pressure stayed.
You learned to watch closely.
You learned to document.
You learned to question everything, including yourself.
Even if you changed roles or left entirely, your system did not reset.
You still brace when feedback shows up.
You still feel a jolt when your calendar fills.
You still tense when someone says they need a minute of your time.
This is not just stress.
It shows up in your body, your relationships, and the way you think about your career.
And it is not just draining.
It is limiting.
It limits how present you are at work.
It limits how confident you feel in your decisions.
It limits how much energy you have left for your life outside of work.
Because carrying this much for this long does not stay contained.
And it is still costing you.
🌸 Have a clear and confident plan to get your career back on track in a way that protects your peace, your health, and your life outside of work?
🌸 Stop reacting from emotion and start responding with strategy, clarity, and intention?
🌸 Feel grounded, steady, and like yourself again, including at work?
🌸 Stop questioning your worth and start protecting your energy, well being, and future?
🌸 Realize you are not fragile like a flower, but FRAGILE LIKE A BOMB?
In
I’ll show you exactly how to stop surviving and start leading yourself forward — with strategy, clarity, and self-trust.
I’ve been where you are.
I know what it’s like to carry the invisible weight of emotional absorption at work. To hold it together in meetings while falling apart inside.
To cry in your car, then walk into the building like nothing’s wrong.
To live in a cycle of dread, confusion, and burnout and still show up like everything’s fine.
I also know how the system works because I’ve been on the inside.
As an HR professional, I’ve handled toxic culture complaints, coached leaders through high-stakes conflict, and supported employees in hostile environments.
I’ve seen what happens behind the scenes… and I built this program to give you the kind of support most workplaces never will.
Because I also know what it’s like to get out of survival mode.
To feel calm, clear, and grounded, even when work is still messy.
To take your power back without blowing up your career.
To rebuild the version of you that work tried to unravel — and come back stronger and wiser.
This program isn’t fluffy mindset work or corporate jargon.
It’s a trauma-informed, HR-savvy, compassionate strategy designed for people who’ve been through it — and are ready to heal, rise, and lead themselves forward.
If you’re done sacrificing your peace for a paycheck…
this is your next move.
About Your Girl
I help high-capacity professionals stop absorbing the emotions, urgency, and dysfunction of others so they have more time and energy for their body, relationships, and life outside of work.
I am a certified trauma-informed career and leadership coach with a background in HR and direct experience inside complex workplace systems.
I created this program for high performing employees who are holding it together publicly while absorbing too much privately.
I have sat in leadership meetings.
I have worked on hostile work environment claims.
I understand how systems protect the wrong people and how responsibility often falls on the most capable ones.
I also know what it takes to stay regulated under pressure, get clear, and build a life that is not defined solely by work.
And I am here to walk that process with you, step by step.
"I began working with Katie about a year ago when I first started experiencing a state of anxiety that was totally new to me. By the time I got to Katie, I was pretty desperate and was having severe panic attacks, multiple times a day, I was barely able to function. I lost trust in others and it seemed like nobody felt safe to me to confide in. Her style of communication really worked for me. She was compassionate and empathetic, while being empowering and encouraging. She seemed to be one of the few people who really understood. That being said, I was also looking for results. Meaning, I didn’t want to stay in that place; I needed tools and support to help myself keep going. She provided all of that and it’s not a stretch to say she saved my life.
Katie helped me understand the nervous system, what it means to be dysregulated and regulated and everything in between. She boiled it down for me in a way that I could understand logically even though I was finding it really challenging to make sense of my own feelings. She taught me how to process my emotions, and have compassion for myself. I’ve learned these things in therapy over the years, but it wasn’t until I worked with Katie that I was actually able to apply them and make sense of them.
After months of consistent work with Katie, I am back to being myself, but better off. She told me that one day the situation I went through, as brutal as it was, will change me for the better in the long run and that’s exactly where I am now.
I would recommend listening to, investing in, soaking up any information you can with Katie. Her authenticity, understanding of trauma and coaching style has been life changing for me."
"I began working with Katie last year when I was navigating a lot of change in my career. While I was really excited about the new opportunities, I also recognized lingering anxiety. As a coach myself, I knew this created an opportunity for me to lean into self-awareness and explore the root cause of this anxiety. Through my work with Katie, I have gained a deeper understanding of the nervous system and how my quick, oftentimes unwanted, reactions to situations stem from dysregulation. Katie did an amazing job creating space for me to explore the genesis of my triggers and providing practical tools to work through them. If you are looking to enhance your self awareness and challenge old belief systems, Katie is the right person to lead you down that path. Her ability to care deeply and challenge directly creates a positive environment to do amazing work."

"Working with Katie has been life changing. After going through years of therapy and living most of my adult life on antidepressants without any improvement or end in sight, I decided it was time to do something different. After working with Katie, I finally made progress! She helped me realize that I’m not broken, I was living in a dysregulated state nearly all the time. I began building knowledge and awareness of my nervous system and learned how to better recognize when I would transition from regulated to dysregulated. I’ve learned what I need to bring myself back to a regulated state. I finally feel confident that I have the skills needed to remain free from medications for the second half of my life. I’m forever grateful to Katie for sharing her knowledge, her compassionate yet direct approach in supporting me!"
"The Fragile Like a Bomb program is one of the most important courses I've ever taken, and I've taken a lot of leadership and professional development courses over the years. Katie taught me how to recognize the ways in which past experiences show up in the workplace, and gave me incredibly effective tools to stay calm and centered in the moment. After years of bending over backwards to please everyone, I am finally putting my work needs first."

"I have been working with Katie for almost two years now and what started as a small goal for personal growth & development has grown into so much more as I learned about myself through our conversations. We have explored how experiences and traumas of my own past have impacted who I am today. Through these discussions we have incorporated practices and accountability which have been invaluable in my own journey. With her guidance and encouragement, we have dug deep into these various areas to discover my strengths and weaknesses that I may not be fully aware of. Receiving coaching requires effort, practice and vulnerability. Katie has been so fantastic in leading me through these and values the person above all else. We celebrate both the victories and trials along the way because it is all progress towards healing and development as a business leader and more importantly as a person!"
"After just a few sessions with Katie, I became more in tune with my body than I have ever been. I have always struggled with anxiety, and Katie provided me the tools to stop judging my feelings and start exploring them. I am done feeling guilty for "feeling." I am utilizing the "Make It Rain" practice Katie taught me. This is a lifetime practical recognition skill that you can use in all areas of your life, not just work. I'm only at the beginning stages of my transformation and already feel SO much better."
