Helping high-achieving women break free from the golden handcuffs
Is that whisper getting louder?
Listen to it.
- Do you catch yourself imagining what an exit strategy might look like, outlining plans in your mind, but stopping short of believing it’s something you could actually follow through on?
- What are the “golden handcuffs” costing you emotionally, mentally, or even physically right now?
- Does the thought of Sunday nights make your stomach turn?
- Do you scroll through social media late at night, comparing your path to others, who seem to have it all, and wonder why you can’t figure it out?
Here's the thing, you’ve done all the ‘right’ things—built a career, raised a family, checked the boxes—but why does it still feel like something’s missing?
Stop. Deep breath.
No, really.
Take a deep breath.
I can help you.
Stop agonizing over your next move. Let's strategize together.

I get it! I’ve been exactly where you are. You’re a high-achiever, the woman everyone looks up to—the one who’s built a career, a life, a version of success that most people would envy. You have the title, the salary, the retirement plan, and maybe even the perfect family on the Christmas card. But here’s the thing: something inside you keeps whispering, “There’s more.”
What if I told you—you can rewrite the story you’ve been telling yourself?
At Abacus Life Coaching, I know what it feels like to be caught in the tension between what’s comfortable and what’s calling you forward. It’s not about abandoning everything you’ve built—it’s about realigning your life with the truth of who you are.
Together, through research-backed coaching strategies, we’ll uncover what truly matters to you, reconnect you with your purpose, and create a plan to help you navigate life’s transitions with clarity and confidence. We’ll silence the doubts, reframe the fears, and empower you to take the lead in writing the next chapter of your story—a chapter that feels authentic, exciting, and deeply fulfilling.
This isn’t just coaching—it’s transformation.
Take a deep breath. This is your moment to pause the endless striving and step into alignment. To take back your Sundays, wake up excited for Mondays, and live a life that’s yours—not one designed by expectations, obligations, or anyone else’s definition of success.
The life you’ve been longing for is already waiting for you. Let’s rewrite your story, together.

Hi, I’m Jess, founder of Abacus Life Coaching and a recovering public educator.
I specialize in helping ambitious women—high-achievers, moms, career pros, and perfectionists—break free from the "golden handcuffs" of a career that looks perfect on the outside but feels misaligned on the inside.
Whether it’s the steady salary, the impressive title, or the path you’ve worked so hard to climb, we’ll uncover what’s keeping you tethered and rewrite the story that says you can’t have more.
Through the power of transformation and the science of neuroplasticity (yes, your brain can rewire itself), we’ll shift habits, build clarity, and design a career—and a life—that truly reflects who you are. Translation: you’re not stuck—you’re ready to lead the next chapter.
Over the years, I’ve had the honor of collaborating with countless professional women—women who have shattered glass ceilings, proving what determination can achieve, only to pause and wrestle with a daunting question: “Is this what happiness truly feels like?”
That’s where Abacus comes in.
These aren’t just career pivots; they’re full-scale reinventions, rooted in uncovering their deeper "why." Together, we’ve peeled back the layers of self-doubt, recalibrated priorities, and reimagined what’s possible when they’re no longer tethered to societal norms about success.
These women have confronted the “golden handcuffs” for what they truly are—limitations disguised as security—and have courageously explored what else they have to offer beyond where they are today.
The results?
Some have started their own businesses, stepping into entrepreneurial dreams they had long put on hold. Others have transformed their roles as parents, feeling more in control and intentional about how they show up for their children. Many have forged new habits that are reshaping who they are at their deepest core, unlocking levels of authenticity and purpose they never thought possible. And for some, the work has led them to grow and thrive exactly where they are—discovering a renewed sense of purpose and joy in their current careers through powerful mindset shifts that transform how they see themselves and their impact.
With renewed confidence and creative strategies, they’ve leapt into roles that bring fulfillment, purpose, and, yes, often a nice financial boost as a byproduct. The ripple effects of these transformations are profound, touching not only their lives but also the lives of those they love and lead.
If you’ve made it this far, I’m betting on you. You’re ready to make a move, and I’m here to help you strategically move the beads of your own abacus. Click the button below and let's connect!
