We strivers are wired to take on ambitious goals. Yet, paradoxically, our achievements often leave us unfulfilled and wondering why we aren’t happy. Worse yet, we find ourselves out of harmony with our nature and falling short of our full potential.
Let’s get honest about the fact that striving to achieve external goals – wealth, accolades, honors, and prestige – is unhealthy.
At the same time, ceasing to strive isn’t the answer. You are worthy of achieving ambitious goals AND so much more.
There is a way to strive better, achieve more, and be in harmony.

Stoicism and Positive Psychology make powerful allies.
stoicism: ancient philosophy that flourished in Greece and Rome that offers a powerful framework for navigating life’s inevitable challenges; emphasizes virtue, reason, and living in accordance with nature which – when in harmony – cultivate wellbeing.
positive psychology: a relatively young branch of psychology which shifts the focus from solely treating mental illness to cultivating wellbeing and flourishing. Instead of addressing deficits, positive psychology explores the conditions and processes that contribute to optimal human functioning. Positive Psychology offers a framework and practices for personal growth, resilience, and creating a more positive and meaningful existence.
My coaching methodology integrates these two deep reservoirs of knowledge into an evidence-based pathway. This dual perspective – combining the transcendental wisdom of Stoicism with the evidence-based science of positive psychology – fosters the development of practices and ways of thinking and being that invite mastery of wellbeing and goal attainment.
