Hi, I’m Emily
I’m a Meaningful Work Coach
I help people who want their work to feel like it has meaning beyond a paycheck
If you’ve been feeling stuck, restless, or unsure what you want next, you’re not alone.
I can help you figure out what meaningful work means to you and how to make it happen.
My approach uses psychology informed tools and down-to-earth guidance, so you can create work that feels aligned, fulfilling, and sustainable.
MY WORK
I can help you
Perhaps you:
– feel empty in a job that looks good on paper
– keep bouncing between roles
– are navigating redundancy
– want to start something of your own but don’t know what
– are retired and want to contribute
- Get clear on what meaningful work looks like for you
Not the “shoulds,” not what other people expect — what you genuinely want your work life to feel like.
- Understand your strengths, interests, and values
Using psychology-backed tools and simple frameworks that help you see yourself more accurately and confidently.
- Move from confusion to clarity
So you can stop second-guessing and start making decisions that feel grounded, intentional, and right for you.
- Take practical steps toward a work life that fits
No overwhelm, no dramatic life overhauls – just supportive, doable actions that build toward something meaningful.
MY STORY
Success ≠ Happiness
I worked with organizational psychologists in leadership development, founded an e-learning agency, and built and sold a tabletop gaming website for six figures.
On paper, everything looked great. But behind the scenes, I was burnt out, disconnected, and wondering…
“Is this really what I want to do with my life?”
But I didn’t know what I actually wanted to do!
I spent hundreds of hours researching happiness, motivation, and the psychology of work. I devoured studies, took endless notes, and designed practical, science-based tools to help me find clarity.
I rebuilt my work and life around what actually matters to me. The difference wasn’t just more fulfillment – I felt confident in the direction I was going and was excited about work!
Now I help other people get the same results in their lives.
NOT JUST ‘CAREER ADVICE’
How I help
Most career advice focuses on jobs, skills, or generic “follow your passion” tips. But these don’t often lead to lasting, fulfilling work.
I can help you figure out what meaningful work truly means for you with psychology-informed tools, honest reflection, and practical steps you can actually follow.
CLARITY VIA SCIENCE
I use tools rooted in neuroscience, motivation theory, and behavioral design – to help you understand what you actually want from your work.
