Ignite real growth in your audience with my unfiltered storytelling, uplifting style, and actionable insights

I'm Stef - a Cornell alumna and Google dropout turned coach, speaker, and tarot reader. Blending my expertise in personal branding, mindset, and professional development, I've been the guide for thousands finding their way out of career quicksand. But let's rewind a bit...

Landing my dream job right out of college as a Product Marketing Manager at Google, you could say I was drinking the Kool-Aid. I thought I had the whole ‘career thing’ figured out, especially after spearheading one of Google’s most popular ad campaigns, ‘Home Alone Again with The Google Assistant’ featuring Macaulay Culkin. It was a thrilling ride – until it wasn’t.

The excitement of working with Hollywood stars and tech giants was soon replaced by a soul-sucking monotony that left me feeling empty. 

Trying to power through and ignore my craving for more meaningful work, I eventually hit a breaking point, or in tarot terms, my ‘tower moment’. A case of burnout so severe that it forced me to take a leave of absence.

Despite feeling like a failure, this pause turned out to be my golden ticket to freedom, alignment, and deep personal discovery. I began building my personal brand, growing to over 80K followers across platforms, while embarking on a total mindset overhaul to replace my limiting beliefs with empowering narratives.

This newfound influence wasn't just about numbers; it was a gateway to opportunities I'd never imagined — speaking engagements, podcast invitations, business partnerships, and even brand collaborations.

As doors opened and I continued the ‘inner work’, I became armed with the confidence and clarity I needed to kickstart my entrepreneurial journey. In early 2021, I quit Google and launched my first coaching business off the back of my personal brand.

My voice, my story, became a magnet for people looking for someone who'd been in their shoes and made it out. Now, as a speaker and coach, I help others get unstuck in their careers with the same blend of personal branding, mindset mastery, and self-discovery that transformed mine.
