My Story
Hi, I'm Sandy. I procrastinate, obsess over perfection, avoid hard conversations, and get distracted by shiny objects, just like you. The difference between us? I know how to catch myself before I spiral, and I can teach you to do the same.
That's exactly why I became a coach. My passion is helping others get out of their own way before it costs them everything.
I work with founders specifically because, while I'm a coach, I'm a founder too. In my years of coaching, this is the segment of dreamers that excites me most. You are striving to live your best life. You are striving to bring a dream into reality. There is nothing better in this world than that, and I want to help you bring yours to life.
My Wake-Up Call
On the outside, on paper, I was doing everything right. I was hitting every milestone, getting the promotions, checking every box a successful career was supposed to check.
And yet I wasn't happy. I was pouring myself into bad habits, poor eating, drinking too much, stress my body kept absorbing because I never gave it anywhere else to go. I told myself I was happy. I was actually numbing myself.
It worked, until it didn't. Until I burned out.
That's what sent me looking for a different way to live and lead, and it's what eventually led me to coaching, first as the one being coached, then as the one doing it.

My Mission
I once asked a client what she really wanted right now. She paused, and said, "I want to feel more joy."
Her words cracked something open in me, because that was exactly what I wanted too. In that moment, everything shifted. Joy isn't a luxury, or a reward for doing more, or something we get to later once the business is further along. It's essential to a meaningful life, and it's a powerful compass for leading, for founding, for creating and bringing your dream to life.
That's my mission now: helping founders find that joy while they're still building, not after.
Her presence alone ignites transformation—she has that rare ability to make others feel seen, heard, and empowered.

My Method
I coach through the lens of mental fitness, focused on awareness, connection, and intentional living, because when you stop chasing someone else's definition of success, you finally start living yours.
I've spent over six years training at Positive Intelligence, with the unique opportunity to learn directly from Shirzad Chamine, the founder and CEO of PQ. In that time, I've also spent those same six years doing the work on my own mental fitness, strengthening myself as I go on my own founder's journey, and logged hundreds of hours coaching others toward the same.
But you can learn any method on your own. What actually changes things is doing it with someone who knows you, who's invested in your specific life and your specific business, not just teaching you a framework and walking away.
The Training Behind the Work
My approach draws from multiple disciplines, because no single framework holds the whole picture of a person.
