Hi, I’m Jill. I am a Career Clarity Coach who helps midlife women like you figure out their next career move.
Around here we define “mid-life” loosely. Usually, over 40 and under 55-ish. That stage when you still have a decade or two of work ahead of you, yet the idea of staying in your current job sounds like a living nightmare.
I focus on women over 40 because this is often when real crossroads appear. Your values may have shifted, your family situation may look different, or your job may have changed due to a layoff, restructuring or other forces beyond your control.
Or, perhaps, to quote The Dude, “New shit has come to light”, causing you to question your career choices and wonder what else is possible for you.
Or, maybe your work environment is toxic and it’s time to GTFO.
If you’re experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety or other mental health concerns that are clearly tied to your job situation, it can be especially hard to make decisions, set priorities, take action, or see a viable way forward. Having someone in your corner is crucial to move into a healthier reality.

The Career Clarity Package:
A structured six-session journey to uncover the work that truly fits you.
If you are looking for a proven process and a supportive sounding board to figure this out: This is it.
This six-session package is designed for unconventional people who don’t fit in the usual boxes and are tired of feeling stuck, burned out, or disconnected from their work.
Together, we’ll dig into who you are, what you care about, and where you thrive, and then translate that into actual career directions that make sense for your life now.
“I was feeling unsatisfied and stuck in a job that wasn’t right for me. Jill helped clear the path to a new career with some fun exercises, personality tests, and tools to research what career would better suit me. I now have a clear direction and am excited to start a new and fulfilling career that’s better aligned with my personality and values.”
Let's talk about what is really keeping you stuck:
Because if leaving were easy, you would have done it already. Here’s what I’ve heard from my clients:
.
You may be saying to yourself…
- At least I have a job. I should be grateful.
- I am too old to start over.
- Feeling happy and fulfilled at work is an unrealistic Millenial pipe dream.
- It is too much work to start a new career!
- I don't have the education and the training, or the time and money it takes to get it.
Sound familiar?
There’s another whisper that should also sound familiar. The one that says “Feeling good about the work you do is possible. Flow is possible. Balance is possible. Purpose is possible.”
It’s possible.
Turn toward that voice. That’s the voice that will lead you to career freedom.
Maybe you’ve tried taking online quizzes, asking for advice, trying out ideas (apprentice cheesemaker? Dogsitter to the stars? Professional lizard tamer?) but nothing seems to land.
Quiz results don’t reflect your background, strengths, fears, and unique situation. Most advice is geared toward climbing the corporate ladder (shudder).
The fact is: You are an unconventional person who requires an unconventional approach to figuring it out.
That unconventional approach is my specialty.
Drawing on my background as a therapist, I’ll work with you to explore the path that got you here, the stories and beliefs that might (or might not) be holding you back from vocational bliss, and the best way to support you in moving confidently towards your dreams.
My background as a Social Worker gives me an acute awareness of how your environment affects your life, how your story influences your choices, and the challenges of changing both.
I’m here to help you find work that aligns with your values, strengths, priorities and authentic self – and find an environment that promotes balance and wellbeing.
“After feeling trapped and unhappy with my career for many years, I hired Jill to help me find some clarity and direction. Jill competently guided me through relevant assessments and activities, which resulted in identifying careers which better aligned with my value system, work personality preferences and skill set. I resigned from my very safe, 23 year career with the government and started my own business. I am thriving both in business and in life!
Jill’s process involves highlighting and celebrating your preferences and skills, without judgement. This is an empowering experience and it allows her clients to fully investigate a new career path in a very positive and safe space. Thank you Jill!”
