What my clients have to say…
“I would recommend Pooja to anyone who feels like there is a part of their life where they feel stuck.
Either stuck in a vicious thought cycle, or stuck at work, or stuck in some sort of unhealthy personal relationship, or not able to improve some aspect of their life that they want to.
Honestly that’s probably everybody, because everyone's probably stuck in some aspect of their life.”

What my clients have to say…
“Some weeks, I have a very specific thing that is troubling me, and I'm excited to talk about it.
And there are other times where I came in and I didn't quite know what I wanted to talk about, and those were the sessions where Pooja was able to help me unpack something that I didn't even know was there.
It surprised me that I didn't have to do all the work in advance to come in with the agenda of what I needed to talk about, and that there are nuggets and insights to get, no matter how clearly I even see the problem coming in.”

And I was so surprised because Pooja got things immediately, she was seeing things that I hadn't seen.
She was making these connections. I felt that she could relate and could see things so clearly.”

What my clients have to say…
“I have a healthier internal monologue. I still have an internal monologue, but it’s a positive one.
And there are moments where I slip back into some of the negative thought cycles I used to be in, and it’s almost like I can hear—
‘Pooja would tell me to stop assuming that everyone thinks I'm annoying. And Pooja would tell me to advocate for myself, because what's the worst that could happen? And Pooja would tell me to take a break and acknowledge that thought, but not get sucked into it and move on with my day.’
There’s a second layer now of my internal monologue that is the healthy helper, which I developed from coaching, that just stops me from ever regressing too far into those negative thoughts.”

What my clients have to say…
“I was not used to spending so much money on my well being and my personal success. I wasn’t used to investing in myself.
It's funny, we spend so much money on trips and even little subscriptions that add up, but you’re never really taught to prioritize your own well being.
But after just a few sessions, I was like, ‘I’ve already got my money's worth.’
Don’t skimp where it matters the most, which is investing in yourself.
If you read or listen to Pooja’s content, you already have a pretty good idea of how she thinks about things. If you resonate with that, working with her is ten times the value.”

Pooja would always help me push off my week to a great start so that I wouldn't lose out on the progress I had made or forget about all the good things I was doing.
To kick start my week like that felt like a superpower.”

For example, I’m constantly pushing myself to be more of a leader and less of an individual contributor.
And I was able to borrow some of the tips, tricks, and ideas we worked on for myself and use them to coach a member of my team to also step out of the individual contributor role and into more of a leader role.
I thought that was really cool.”

What my clients have to say…
“Coaching helped me get up and feel empowered and feel like I could actually change my outcome based on how I thought about things.
Having been a real academic overachiever, I get into this situation where if things are not perfect, I get stuck in a rut. Unless it's all perfect, I don't move forward.
But Pooja taught me the concept of ‘quantity creates quality’ and gave me practical goals every week, and that really helped me move forward in my professional life (and even in my dating life!).
I moved from just sitting around in my room overthinking everything and not really taking any action, to having weekly appointments to move things forward, and having someone holding me accountable to getting stuff done. And that just gave me a lot more self-belief and structure.”

“Pretty immediately, I was able to break through the decision of whether or not to leave my job.
I was able to see: Staying at my job is hard. Looking for a job is also hard. Which hard do I want to sign up for? Because being here in limbo is not productive.
I was also able to rewrite the story of what had happened at my current job in a way that gave me more confidence and started to untangle some of the emotional turmoil I had with that.
And then I recruited for and got my next job and got comfortable moving forward with that as my next step.”

“I realized that you can always create a space of abundance, even when there's scarcity.
This process has allowed me to go so deep into myself and realize: Just be more yourself.
You don’t have to change. And that abundance helps me to make better, less fear-based decisions.”

“Pooja always has suggestions and ideas, which is fantastic.
But she doesn’t tell you, ‘You should go do this.’
And that’s a good thing because she teaches you how to make these decisions for yourself and feel confident about it.”

What my clients have to say…
“Coaching helped me get up and feel empowered and feel like I could actually change my outcome based on how I thought about things.
Having been a real academic overachiever, I get into this situation where if things are not perfect, I get stuck in a rut. Unless it's all perfect, I don't move forward.
But Pooja taught me the concept of ‘quantity creates quality’ and gave me practical goals every week, and that really helped me move forward in my professional life (and even in my dating life!).
I moved from just sitting around in my room overthinking everything and not really taking any action, to having weekly appointments to move things forward, and having someone holding me accountable to getting stuff done.
And that just gave me a lot more self-belief and structure.”

“My general happiness levels are higher. I have coping mechanisms during stress. My husband is seeing the results of it — I have a better married life with him.
Coaching has given me more inner peace and focus as to what are the things that I want and how to go after them without setting ceilings.
And it’s allowed me to get to the root of what it is that I want, and not just chase the next big thing.”

What my clients have to say…
“I'm a 2x startup founder & ex-corporate strategy/innovation manager who's already learnt best practices from Cal Newport and read several books on being effective with time and energy.
Previous executive coaches I've worked with were only helpful for 2-3 sessions and either had too rigid structures or couldn't keep up intellectually.
Within the first 2 sessions, Pooja helped me achieve a new level of performance.
Her style of running quick experiments to map emotional reactions and key assumptions allowed us to quickly find opportunities to adjust my mental model and implement solutions that weren't possible with previous ways of thinking.
Please don't work with Pooja, because she's one of my secret superpowers.”

“Some weeks, I have a very specific thing that is troubling me, and I'm excited to talk about it.
And there are other times where I came in and I didn't quite know what I wanted to talk about.
And those were the sessions where Pooja was able to help me unpack something that I didn't even know was there.
It surprised me that I didn't have to do all the work in advance to come in with the agenda of what I needed to talk about.
And that there are nuggets and insights to get, no matter how clearly I even see the problem coming in.”

What my clients have to say…
“I was not used to spending so much money on my well being and my personal success. I wasn't used to investing in myself.
It's funny, we spend so much money on trips and even little subscriptions that add up, but you're never really taught to prioritize your own well being.
But after just a few sessions, I was like, ‘I've already got my money's worth.’Don't skimp where it matters the most, which is investing in yourself.
If you read or listen to her content, you already have a pretty good idea of how she thinks about things.

What my clients have to say…
“I didn't know what coaching was, and the only time I had ever heard of a life coach is when people are having a midlife crisis.
I was afraid coaching was going to be weird or fluffy.
That concern went away completely after our very first conversation, because in our very first conversation, I felt more validated and heard and understood than I ever had with any other professionally trained therapist.
And I felt like I had a better understanding of how we were going to work through everything I was facing, than I ever had gotten from any other type of professional support.
So that concern went away literally from session number one.”

What my clients have to say…
“I was surprised by the diverse range of issues I could talk about with Pooja.
There's such a wide range of things that I struggled with over the course of our coaching, from tough pregnancy symptoms to complicated family dynamics to complicated work dynamics.
There were moments where I brought things up to her thinking ‘Pooja's probably going to tell me to go call a family therapist or whatever.’
But her process worked for all of these different situations and totally applied every single time.
There was never something I brought to her where I felt like the guidance she was giving me didn't apply or wasn't effective.”

“Pretty immediately, I was able to break through the decision of whether or not to leave my job.
I was able to see: Staying at my job is hard. Looking for a job is also hard. Which hard do I want to sign up for? Because being here in limbo is not productive.
I was also able to rewrite the story of what had happened at my current job in a way that gave me more confidence and started to untangle some of the emotional turmoil I had with that.
And then I recruited for and got my next job and got comfortable moving forward with that as my next step.”

What my clients have to say…
“Pooja always has suggestions and ideas, which is fantastic.
But she doesn’t tell you, ‘You should go do this.’
And that’s a good thing because she teaches you how to make these decisions for yourself and feel confident about it.”

It’s like sometimes you’ll read a whole book just to get that one sentence. And it’s kind of like having this encyclopedic friend who’s just like, ‘You said all this stuff. Don’t read that book. Let me just tell you the five words.’ And it’s really incredible.”

What my clients have to say…
“Overall, through our coaching, I've learned to change my perspective on the way that I see things.
Before, I felt very stuck in my head, and I had a hard time seeing things a different way. That previous headspace was very much like, ‘I'm the problem, there's something wrong with me.’
And the framework Pooja taught me helped me see things in a more positive or at least neutral light and then troubleshoot from there.”

What my clients have to say…
“Coaching helped me get up and feel empowered and feel like I could actually change my outcome based on how I thought about things.
Having been a real academic overachiever, I get into this situation where if things are not perfect, I get stuck in a rut. Unless it's all perfect, I don't move forward.
But Pooja taught me the concept of ‘quantity creates quality’ and gave me practical goals every week, and that really helped me move forward in my professional life (and even in my dating life!).
I moved from just sitting around in my room overthinking everything and not really taking any action, to having weekly appointments to move things forward, and having someone holding me accountable to getting stuff done. And that just gave me a lot more self-belief and structure.”

I extra pinky promise 🤙🏼

It’s not hard to like yourself, or to be confident.
You already have mountains of evidence and piles of accomplishments to prove your case.
What’s hard is showing your brain that it’s SAFE to like yourself.
That it’s SAFE to be confident.
That it’s SAFE to give yourself grace for your mistakes.
That it’s SAFE to let your guard down and relax into the truth that you are incredible exactly as you are.
That’s the part we work on in coaching.
It’s not about beating positivity into your brain.
It’s about understanding that, through its relentless negativity, your brain is actually trying to protect you.
And it’s about slowly unwinding that protective mechanism.
Through love and compassion and humor and understanding…
Through logic and stories and analogies and real-life mini-practice sessions…
Until that protective habit is slowly de-conditioned.
So that you can relax and let ease come in.
Let’s start today.

Coaching with Pooja is the best investment I made last year, by far.

And if I had to go back and redo last year, I would have invested in coaching sooner.”

“I have a healthier internal monologue.
And there are moments where I slip back into some of the negative thought cycles I used to be in, and it’s almost like I can hear—
‘Pooja would tell me to stop assuming that everyone thinks I’m annoying.
And Pooja would tell me to advocate for myself, because what’s the worst that could happen?
And Pooja would tell me to take a break and acknowledge that thought, but not get sucked into it and move on with my day.’
There's a second layer now of my internal monologue that is the healthy helper, which I developed from coaching, that just stops me from ever regressing too far into those negative thoughts.”

Pooja would always help me push off my week to a great start so that I wouldn't lose out on the progress I had made or forget about all the good things I was doing.
To kick start my week like that felt like a superpower.”

What my clients have to say…
“The impacts have been huge. I started feeling more confident and self-assured at work. And that gave me the emotional bandwidth to start building better habits too.
Now I’m doing a lot better with my work and it’s taking up less energy at the same time. I’m not working as hard but I’m getting better results. I feel like this is a more sustainable way that I can conduct myself in my career.”

“If you're just starting out, you should learn this toolkit with an expert like Pooja.
Now I'm able to open up a Google Doc and make good progress on my own.
But if you want to do it the right way, you really should have someone listening to what you're saying, guiding you, and course-correcting you.”

“Pooja strikes a really strong balance between troubleshooting immediate problems but at the same time, really tying in that there are tools I need to solve all my problems.
And that even though a problem I run into this week is different from a problem I run into next week, you can use the same frameworks to work your way out of it.
Now, I feel like I have a nice tool chest of frameworks and habits that I can rely on that not just change my work life, but also my personal life too.”

Honestly that’s probably everybody, because everyone's probably stuck in some aspect of their life.”

What my clients have to say…
“I was not used to spending so much money on my well being and my personal success. I wasn't used to investing in myself.
It’s funny, we spend so much money on trips and even little subscriptions that add up, but you're never really taught to prioritize your own well being.
But after just a few sessions, I was like, ‘I’ve already got my money's worth.’
Don't skimp where it matters the most, which is investing in yourself.
If you read or listen to her content, you already have a pretty good idea of how she thinks about things.
If you resonate with that, working with her is ten times the value.”

Make whatever you're nervous about an asset, not a liability.
———
What do you think determines your ability to land the role you want?
Tactics? Preparation? Experience? Connections?
Those things all help too…
But you know what I think is the most important? Emotional management.
Deciding on, recruiting for, and landing your next role requires going through LOTS of emotions.
Confusion. Self-doubt. Insecurity. Rejection.
Even elation (when you get the role) and trepidation (once you actually have to start :)
The core skill I teach my clients is how to manage, listen to, and process your emotions.
How to shift their thinking and shift their emotions, when they’re being unhelpful.
How to LISTEN to their emotions and follow their wisdom, when they contain a valuable insight.
And how to allow strong emotional reactions to pass through their body and process out of their system so they can make clear-eyed decisions in the calm after the storm.
If you can do those three things, not only can you land the job you want, but you can create the life you want.
So let’s start building those skills today.

And what to do about it
———
I just gave you the answer. So why would you still need a coach?
Because your mind will fall out of its Want-based why’s and its Surplus Mindset on a regular basis.
You have a habit of being motivated by Should’s (and maybe even disregarding or being skeptical of your wants).
You have a habit of putting yourself in a Deficit Mindset (and maybe even thinking that praising yourself will make you arrogant or lazy).
Identifying the problem and the solution is only the starting point.
The real work is in implementing the solution in all the relevant parts of your life.
That’s where a coach comes in.
A coach gives you the structure, accountability, and expertise to actually get this DONE.
Imagine being able to set goals and KNOW you’ll be able to achieve them, every single time.
Imagine trusting yourself enough to actually go after the things you want the most.
And imagine having FUN the whole way there.
For the whole experience to feel like FLOW, not like a slog.
And to feel like, every day, you’re making contact with the best version of yourself.
That’s what I help people do. So come talk to me, and let’s get started.

What my clients have to say…
“I realized that you can learn just as much from your wins as from your losses.
When you have aspirations and big ambitions, it's really easy to be harsh on yourself. What changed the game for me was realizing that being mean to yourself and making progress are not related to each other at all.
Actually, you can have a completely normal, healthy relationship with yourself and encourage yourself AND make progress. I enjoy the process so much more now.”

Just keep walking.

Sometimes, a coach helps you figure out what’s going wrong and how to fix it.
And sometimes, a coach helps you realize nothing is going wrong, and all you need to do is keep on going.
Both are equally important.
Your brain is a problem-finding machine. (This is a good thing!)
And as you work through the queue of problems your brain has identified…
You want to solve REAL problems quickly and effectively.
AND you want to identify “false problems” as “not a problem at all” quickly and effectively.
And then STOP trying to solve them.
Because nothing will make you feel more stuck than grinding your gears trying to solve a problem…
…that actually isn’t a problem at all.
So if you’re feeling stuck right now, let’s talk.

What my clients have to say…
“I love when Pooja drops wisdom. It’s always, like, a five word sentence that I’ll write down in my journal and refer back to.
It’s like sometimes you’ll read a whole book just to get that one sentence.
And it’s kind of like having this encyclopedic friend who’s just like, ‘You said all this stuff. Don’t read that book. Let me just tell you the five words.’
And it’s really incredible.”

What my clients have to say…
“I'm a 2x startup founder and ex-corporate strategy/innovation manager who’s already learnt best practices from Cal Newport and read several books on being effective with time and energy.
Previous executive coaches I’ve worked with were only helpful for 2-3 sessions and either had too rigid structures or couldn’t keep up intellectually.
Within the first 2 sessions, Pooja helped me achieve a new level of performance. Her style of running quick experiments to map emotional reactions and key assumptions allowed us to quickly find opportunities to adjust my mental model and implement solutions that weren't possible with previous ways of thinking.
Please don't work with Pooja, because she’s one of my secret superpowers.”

“I didn't know what coaching was, and the only time I had ever heard of a life coach is when people are having a midlife crisis. I was afraid coaching was going to be weird or fluffy.That concern went away completely after our very first conversation, because in our very first conversation, I felt more validated and heard and understood than I ever had with any other professionally trained therapist.
And I felt like I had a better understanding of how we were going to work through everything I was facing, than I ever had gotten from any other type of professional support.
So that concern went away literally from session number one.”

I moved from just sitting around in my room overthinking everything and not really taking any action, to having weekly appointments to move things forward, and having someone holding me accountable to getting stuff done. And that just gave me a lot more self-belief and structure.”

No unspoken bids for reciprocity
———
Being able to talk openly about what’s not working for you in a relationship…
And step back from relationships that don’t fit with your needs and preferences…
Is. A. Freaking. Superpower.
Study after study shows that the quality of your relationships is THE key driver of your lifelong happiness.
A good relationship massively improves your life…
And a bad relationship massively worsens it.
This is true with friends, family, your spouse, your colleagues — with every human being you come into contact with.
And partly because relationships are so important to us…
Our brains often have a LOT of wonky logic around them.
We don’t say what we really want because we’re afraid we’ll drive the other person away…but in the end, our lack of openness drives them away.
We keep trying to prove ourselves to people who just don’t like us that much…when our time would be better spent finding people who are better fits.
We hide our true selves, thinking nobody wants to see that…when vulnerability is actually the key to connection.
Building the skill of strengthening and deepening your relationships, and the skill of stepping away when things don’t work for you, is one of the THE best investments you can make in your life.
So let’s start today.

And what to do when your emotional logic doesn’t serve you
———
Conflicts between intellectual logic and emotional logic are a massive reason why people end up feeling stuck.
One part of you wants to go for it…
Another part of you says NO!
And you’re stuck motionless in between.
The reason you’re stuck is because there are two wheels going in opposite directions in your head.
“I want to change careers…but it’s not possible, so why bother trying.”
“I want to get funding…but I hate doing pitches.”
“I want to be in a relationship…but dating apps sucks and I hate them.”
One wheel is rolling forward. The other wheel is rolling back. And you’re stuck in between.
The whole point of coaching is to get all your wheels moving in the same direction.
Sometimes your emotional logic is 100% right. It’s the wise whispering of intuition. It’s your spidey sense picking up on things before you can articulate them.
Sometimes your emotional logic is 100% wrong. It’s a cognitive illusion, or a fallacy, or just an old outdated story you keep telling yourself.
And often, the answer is somewhere in between. Your gut feelings and urges and wordless vibes are just data, containing both signal and noise.
A coach is an expert in helping you sort through the signal and noise in your own mind.
In helping you distinguish the wise intuition from the outdated programming.
And helping you get into alignment with yourself so you can get back to doing your best work.

What my clients have to say…
“I was worried it would just be a patch on things. As soon as I’m not talking to Pooja and working through some of these things, does it all go back to square one?
But as we worked together, if we didn’t have a session for one week, it was evident that I didn’t immediately go to zero. The tools and training Pooja gives people stick.”

Don’t mix up performance 📊 and positioning ♟️
———
Some people in this situation will see this, it will instantly click, and they’ll just get to work fixing their positioning problem.
Some people in this situation will see this, they’ll say “That makes a ton of sense. I should probably do that,” and then they’ll run into mental blockers.
Your brain might tell you: “But is it really a positioning problem? You’re probably just complaining. Work harder.”
Or it might tell you: “This is so embarrassing, that you ended up in this situation. No one else has this problem. What’s wrong with you?”
Or it might tell you: “No place in the world has the positioning I’m looking for. It’s a lost cause. Stop being childish.”
If your brain is telling you any of these things…
Or if it’s giving you any other mental blocker, where you can feel that you really need to fix your positioning, but you also feel a lot of resistance or fear about doing so…
I want you to come talk to me.
This is exactly the kind of situation I help my clients work through.
I don’t just know how to diagnose this problem. I also know how to solve it.
Come talk to me to find out how.

Find the signal in the noise
———
Step 1 is not judging your jealousy.
Not running from it. Not ignoring it. Not thinking you’re a terrible person because of it. But just treating it as an interesting piece of data from your brain.
Step 2 is finding the wisdom and insight within your jealousy.
Inside your jealousy, there is signal and there is noise. And even if it’s 99.9% noise…that 0.1% signal could change your life.
Step 3 is acting on that wisdom and changing your life.
Insight and analysis and dreams and visions are all great… But none of those things change your life until you start taking action.
And right now, if you’re just starting to not judge yourself for being jealous…
And you’re just beginning to uncover the possible insight inside your jealousy…
And you have no freaking clue how to act on that insight…
Perfect. You’re in exactly the right place.
This is the moment that you come and talk to me.
Let’s untangle all the signals in your brain and get the message perfectly clear.
And then let’s lay out the plan to change your life.

One half of your fort is OVER-defended…and the other half has no defenses at all
———
I know that this is easier said than done.
For many people, this isn’t a switch that you flip — it’s a habit you slowly retrain.
It’s like learning to write with your left hand after being right-handed for your whole life.
Except not only are you forming a new habit, but your brain is screaming at you that this is dangerous and someone is going to overrun your fort TODAY if you dare to take your eyes off that over-defended side for even one second.
But here’s the payoff if you can do this work:
You will spend more time in flow. Self-criticism kills flow. Self-trust and seeing the wisdom in your own signals lets flow flourish.
You will see that your so-called weaknesses are actually your superpowers. Instead of constantly trying to fix and correct yourself, you can lean into who you really are.
You will build a life and a career you love — one that is custom-tailored for YOU. Because when you’re in flow and playing to your strengths, you can’t do anything else.
Come talk to me today, and let’s lay out a plan for making this happen.

“I’m getting a signal that…”
———
There’s one sentence — one central message — that I’ve built my entire coaching career around.
All my writing, all my coaching, all my business ambitions, the legacy I hope to leave in this world.
All of it boils down to ONE central thing that I’m trying to tell you.
That message is this—
Question your automatic thoughts.
The world around you is a blank screen. It contains only flat, neutral circumstances that don’t mean anything by themselves.
Your super smart, super fast automatic brain — in a fraction of a second — transforms those flat, meaningless circumstances into a dynamic, meaningful, multidimensional movie full of colorful characters and heroes and villains and success and failure and redemption.
You don’t live in the real world.
You live in a movie of your own making.
And because that movie is created by you… You can change it anytime you want.
Now, it takes a little practice to get the hang of it.
Your automatic brain has been creating this movie instantly and effortlessly for a very long time.
It’s going to feel awkward at first to start interfering with that movie.
Your automatic brain might even rebel and push back.
But with a few simple tricks and a few rounds of practice, you’re going to get the hang of it.
And when you can question your automatic thoughts and reshape the mental movie your brain is constructing in the direction YOU want it to go…
That’s when you take creative authority over yourself, your career, and your life.
That’s what we do in coaching.
So let’s start today.

What my clients have to say…
“I was worried about the cost. But every single session was well worth it. Coaching with Pooja is the best investment I made last year, by far.
And I made a lot of investments last year — we spend a lot of money on a lot of different things to try to improve our life.
And if I had to go back and redo last year, I would have invested in coaching sooner.”

The way you think about others is the way you think about yourself
———
If you had to narrow your focus for your 2024 resolutions and you could only work on ONE thing this year…
You know what would give you the most bang for your buck?
Improving your relationship with yourself.
Because your relationship with yourself affects everything in your life. Your career. Your family. Your hobbies. Your friendships.
If there was ONE skeleton key to unlock your whole life, ONE master variable controlling everything else, it would be this.
How do you talk to yourself when you make a mistake?
Do you need others to pour validation into your cup, or can you pour it in yourself, even when others won’t?
Do you claim your successes proudly — or do you shrink back, dismiss them, and wait for the other shoe to drop?
If you don’t like your answers to those questions, don’t worry.
Because here’s what it takes to change your answers—
A single one-hour conversation every week.
How could that possibly be the case?
Come talk to me and find out :)

If you’re someone who feels perpetually behind on their to-do list…

Then I want you to come talk to me.
Because that’s exactly what I help people do.
Imagine sitting down to work every day knowing that everything on your list is going to get done.

And if you’re listening to this and thinking, “But Pooja, I don’t even know what those strengths are!! How do I figure it out??”
Don’t worry. It’s very normal to be unsure about this. You’re too close to yourself to be able to see yourself clearly — everyone is this way.
And this is exactly what I help people do. We’ll dig into examples of times when you’ve felt in flow. We’ll extract the common themes — the unique fingerprint of the way YOU do things. (This is one of MY strengths :)
We’ll take those raw ingredients and build a career strategy around them. We’ll figure out exactly what you need to do today, this week, this month, to make progress. And I’ll stay with you until it’s done.

What my clients have to say…
“Coaching helped me get up and feel empowered and feel like I could actually change my outcome based on how I thought about things.
Having been a real academic overachiever, I get into this situation where if things are not perfect, I get stuck in a rut. Unless it's all perfect, I don't move forward.
But Pooja taught me the concept of ‘quantity creates quality’ and gave me practical goals every week, and that really helped me move forward in my professional life (and even in my dating life!).
I moved from just sitting around in my room overthinking everything and not really taking any action, to having weekly appointments to move things forward, and having someone holding me accountable to getting stuff done. And that just gave me a lot more self-belief and structure.”

I love coaching about tactics.
But before we get to tactics, I always make sure that we’re going in the right direction.
And that we’ve taken the time to ask: Hang on, what IS the right direction here? What AM I solving for?
Never asking yourself that question is a surefire way to accidentally build a life you hate.
You probably do excellent strategy and direction-setting in your job, for your company.
You deserve to do it for yourself — in your career and your life too.

You're already living in your worst case scenario.

Managing the divide between intellectual logic and emotional logic is the work of a lifetime.
Sometimes your emotional logic is just plain wrong…
…but if you don’t address it and shift it, it can still hold you back and prevent you from doing the things you want.
(We often call that “self-sabotage” but it’s really just internal misalignment that you haven’t resolved yet.)
Sometimes your emotional logic is RIGHT.
Sometimes there are pearls of wisdom inside your intuition that you absolutely must listen to.
All the thinking and planning and pro/con lists in the world can’t take you where your gut can take you.
And many times, the right answer is a hybrid third answer.
Working back and forth between your logical brain and your intuition until you’ve charted a new path forward that works for all parties.
This work is not “one and done.” It’s a lifelong practice.
And if you can learn the skill of getting the two forces inside you to work together…
…that’s when you can unleash the best of you.
That’s what I teach my clients to do. So let’s start today.

I extra pinky promise 🤙🏼
———
It’s not hard to like yourself, or to be confident.
You already have mountains of evidence and piles of accomplishments to prove your case.
What’s hard is showing your brain that it’s SAFE to like yourself.
That it’s SAFE to be confident.
That it’s SAFE to give yourself grace for your mistakes.
That it’s SAFE to let your guard down and relax into the truth that you are incredible exactly as you are.
That’s the part we work on in coaching.
It’s not about beating positivity into your brain.
It’s about understanding that, through its relentless negativity, your brain is actually trying to protect you.
And it’s about slowly unwinding that protective mechanism.
Through love and compassion and humor and understanding…
Through logic and stories and analogies and real-life mini-practice sessions…
Until that protective habit is slowly de-conditioned.
So that you can relax and let ease come in.

Sometimes, a coach helps you figure out what’s going wrong and how to fix it.
And sometimes, a coach helps you realize nothing is going wrong, and all you need to do is keep on going.
Both are equally important.
Your brain is a problem-finding machine. (This is a good thing!)
And as you work through the queue of problems your brain has identified…
You want to solve REAL problems quickly and effectively.
AND you want to identify “false problems” as “not a problem at all” quickly and effectively.
And then STOP trying to solve them.
Because nothing will make you feel more stuck than grinding your gears trying to solve a problem…
…that actually isn’t a problem at all.
So if you’re feeling stuck right now, let’s talk.

“I have a healthier internal monologue. I still have an internal monologue, but it's a positive one.
And there are moments where I slip back into some of the negative thought cycles I used to be in, and it's almost like I can hear—
Pooja would tell me to stop assuming that everyone thinks I'm annoying.
And Pooja would tell me to advocate for myself, because what's the worst that could happen?
And Pooja would tell me to take a break and acknowledge that thought, but not get sucked into it and move on with my day.
There's a second layer now of my internal monologue that is the healthy helper, which I developed from coaching, that just stops me from ever regressing too far into those negative thoughts.”

And what to do about it
———
I just gave you the answer. So why would you still need a coach?
Because your mind will fall out of its Want-based why’s and its Surplus Mindset on a regular basis.
You have a habit of being motivated by Should’s (and maybe even disregarding or being skeptical of your wants).
You have a habit of putting yourself in a Deficit Mindset (and maybe even thinking that praising yourself will make you arrogant or lazy).
Identifying the problem and the solution is only the starting point.
The real work is in implementing the solution in all the relevant parts of your life.
That’s where a coach comes in.
A coach gives you the structure, accountability, and expertise to actually get this DONE.
Imagine being able to set goals and KNOW you’ll be able to achieve them, every single time.
Imagine trusting yourself enough to actually go after the things you want the most.
And imagine having FUN the whole way there.
For the whole experience to feel like FLOW, not like a slog.
And to feel like, every day, you’re making contact with the best version of yourself.
That’s what I help people do. So come talk to me, and let’s get started.

Actually, you can have a completely normal, healthy relationship with yourself and encourage yourself AND make progress. I enjoy the process so much more now.”

Focus your energy in the right direction.
I know. This can be easier said than done.
If you’re struggling with this, that is completely understandable.
Your brain is not crazy. It has valid, logical reasons why it’s hanging on to its resistance of the situation — why it’s fighting acceptance.
So come talk to me and let’s figure out what they are.
And let’s get you on the path to acceptance rather than resistance so you can focus your energy on what’s next.

To kick start my week like that felt like a superpower."

Make whatever you're nervous about an asset, not a liability.
What do you think determines your ability to land the role you want?
Tactics? Preparation? Experience? Connections?
Those things all help too…
But you know what I think is the most important? Emotional management.
Deciding on, recruiting for, and landing your next role requires going through LOTS of emotions.
Confusion. Self-doubt. Insecurity. Rejection.
Even elation (when you get the role) and trepidation (once you actually have to start :)
The core skill I teach my clients is how to manage, listen to, and process your emotions.
How to shift their thinking and shift their emotions, when they’re being unhelpful.
How to LISTEN to their emotions and follow their wisdom, when they contain a valuable insight.
And how to allow strong emotional reactions to pass through their body and process out of their system so they can make clear-eyed decisions in the calm after the storm.
If you can do those three things, not only can you land the job you want, but you can create the life you want.
So let’s start building those skills today.

What my clients have to say…
“Pooja strikes a really strong balance between troubleshooting immediate problems but at the same time, really tying in that there are tools I need to solve all my problems.
And that even though a problem I run into this week is different from a problem I run into next week, you can use the same frameworks to work your way out of it.
Now, I feel like I have a nice tool chest of frameworks and habits that I can rely on that not just change my work life, but also my personal life too.”
—Ashley | VP at Major Financial Institution

What my clients have to say…
“Pretty immediately, I was able to break through the decision of whether or not to leave my job.
I was able to see: Staying at my job is hard. Looking for a job is also hard. Which hard do I want to sign up for? Because being here in limbo is not productive.
I was also able to rewrite the story of what had happened at my current job in a way that gave me more confidence and started to untangle some of the emotional turmoil I had with that.
And then I recruited for and got my next job and got comfortable moving forward with that as my next step.”
