You Are Right on Time

September is a month that brings up a whole bunch of emotions:

Excitement for pumpkin spice lattes and sweater weather…

Anticipation for holiday trips and time off…

But also?

Anxiety about due dates, big quarterly meetings, and work travel…

Embarrassment about not being as far ahead with your goals as you’d hoped you’d be…

Fear that your time for making a career or life change is slipping away…

Whatever you’re feeling this time of year, it’s all ok. And I want you to know:

You are right on time.

High-achieving, ambitious women like you and me often feel behind. 

We feel late to the starting line. Like everyone is ahead of us. Or, perhaps the most hurtful: like we skipped over a clue that everyone else noticed – and we missed our chance.

You are not alone in having these worries. 

AND?

You don’t have to hold on to them.

After almost a decade of coaching women through career and life transition, I’ve learned that each of us moves at our own pace. 

And that’s actually great news. Why?

Because it’s a reminder that you are the only You.

It’s normal to compare our progress to others. To lament over our own setbacks and assume other people haven’t experienced the pain, the deferred dreams, or the challenges we have.

But that’s simply not true.

No one escapes unscathed in life. Everyone has scars (literal or metaphorical).

Our challenges just come at different times, in different packages. 

And similarly:

No one holds the gifts, talents and potential that you have. 

Whether you think of your DNA, or your thumbprint, or an icicle on the window – there is literally no one else on this planet with your unique combination of history, experiences, hopes and dreams.

And although I know we sometimes wish we could rush through life to accelerate the achievements, the success, the recognition we yearn for…

Your gifts need practice to mature.

Your perspective needs experience to see more clearly.

Your impact needs time to deepen.

You are right on time. It’s not too late for you.

AND – if you’re ready to start now…

To refocus on your 2026 plans and goals

To pause and dream about 2027 and beyond

To allow your gifts and your perspective and your impact to unfold – gently and purposefully

I’d love to be your guide. 

We start with an informal call, just you and me, to talk through your goals and explore how I can help you.

From there, if it feels like a fit, I’ll share a couple ways I support my coaching clients and you can ask me any questions you have about the process and my approach.

No matter what, by the end of our time together, you’ll walk away with new clarity about the change you want to make and your next steps to get there.

You are right on time. You are not too late. Book a call with me and let’s get started, together.

Onward,
