Abacus Coaching
Recovery is universal. If you're tired of running on empty, this is your invitation to slow down and come back to yourself.
Is that whisper getting louder?
Listen to it.
Do you ever feel like you don’t fit the “traditional” story of burnout… or the narrative around alcohol?
Maybe nothing is falling apart—but something is quietly unraveling.
- You don’t have to hit rock bottom to question your relationship with alcohol.
- You don’t need a crisis to admit burnout is catching up with you.
- And you definitely don’t have to keep pretending everything is “fine” while you white-knuckle your way through work, motherhood, or life.
- You qualify for a life that feels aligned, energized, and yours—
and together, I’ll help you build it.
Recovery isn’t just for addiction. Recovery is universal.
High-achieving women are recovering from…
• burnout that no one sees
• perfectionism that never turns off
• careers that look great on paper but feel suffocating
• motherhood that demands more than we were ever taught to handle
• patterns with alcohol that aren’t “bad enough” to name, but heavy enough to carry.
If you’re holding more than you let on, you’re in the right place.
Stop agonizing over your next move. Let's strategize together.
3 Simple Steps to Start Shifting Your Life--from Burnout, Old Patterns, or Alcohol
- Book your free discovery call.
- Get a customized roadmap for your next chapter--burnout, alcohol free, or both.
- Step confidently into the life you're meant to lead.
I get it—because I was you.
For years, I carried a whisper:
“Is alcohol stealing more than it’s giving?”
“Is this job worth the burnout?”
“Why does it look like I have everything, but feel… off?”
Eventually, the whisper became a roar. I didn’t blow up my life—I realigned it.
I found the right support, let go of what wasn’t serving me, and redefined success on my own terms.
Now I help women like you do the same.
Through evidence-based coaching, we will:
• Uncover what truly matters to you by anchoring into your core values
• Break the cycle of “rewarding” yourself with alcohol—and identify what you actually need
• Interrupt burnout patterns and rebuild the energy and confidence you’ve been missing
• Create a roadmap toward clarity, balance, and sustainable success
• Build the life your highest self keeps hinting you’re capable of
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
At Abacus Life Coaching, I help high-achieving women in high-pressure careers break free from the patterns that are holding them back—especially the one they rarely talk about: alcohol.
Whether it’s a nightly glass of wine that became a habit, a job that’s slowly draining you,
or the fog of burnout that’s making everything feel harder—this is your moment to reclaim your power.
This isn’t just coaching—it’s your transformation.
You don’t have to keep living a life designed by expectations, job titles, or Pinot Noir at 5pm.
Take a breath.
The life you’ve been longing for is already waiting for you. Let’s rewrite your story, together.

Strategy is key
own your evenings again
Stay True to Yourself—And Connected to Others
THE TRUTH ABOUT MODERATION
Time to ditch the mental fog, burnout loops, and nonstop decision fatigue.
Break the cycle of stress → overworking → “I deserve a drink” → regret.
You’re carrying a career, a family, and a life that never slows down — you’ve earned your downtime.
Learn how to unwind with intention, create evening rituals that actually restore you, and wake up grounded, clear, and energized — not apologizing to yourself for last night’s “just one glass” or collapsing from exhaustion.
THE TRUTH ABOUT MODERATION

THE TRUTH ABOUT MODERATION
You don’t have to keep showing everyone how “in control” you are.
Trying to moderate your stress, your workload, your emotions—and yes, your drinking—is a full-time job.
If the balancing act is wearing you down, I’ll help you rewrite the rules and get your power back.
Peace is closer than you think.

Hi, I’m Jess—founder of Abacus Life Coaching, here to help high-achieving women step out of burnout, break unhelpful patterns, and build a life that finally feels like theirs again.
As a former school leader, current corporate education consultant, and mother, I know what it’s like to carry the weight of a demanding career, a family, a schedule that never slows down, and expectations that never drop. I also know the quiet ways we cope—overworking, overfunctioning, perfectionism… and yes, sometimes alcohol.
I specialize in supporting executives, moms, leaders, and career-driven powerhouses who look wildly successful on the outside—yet feel disconnected, exhausted, or stuck on the inside.
Because here’s the truth no one talks about:
You can have the salary, the title, the family, the home, and still wonder,
“Why doesn’t this feel like success?”
Maybe alcohol used to be your go-to way to unwind, connect, or take the edge off the day—and now it’s starting to feel like one more thing draining your energy.
Maybe it’s not alcohol at all.
Maybe it’s the burnout, the pressure, the emotional load, the perfectionism, the endless list of “shoulds” that have been quietly running your life.
Either way, something inside you is whispering,
“I want more.”
More clarity.
More peace.
More presence.
More alignment.
More you.
And that whisper? It deserves to be heard.
At Abacus, we don’t just tackle habits—we rewrite the stories and patterns that keep you stuck.
We’ll use evidence-based coaching, emotional regulation tools, and the science of neuroplasticity (yes, your brain can absolutely change) to help you:
• Break free from burnout-driven cycles
• Redesign how you rest, recover, and reconnect
• Shift habits that no longer support the woman you’re becoming
• Rebuild clarity, confidence, and identity
• Create a career—and life—that finally feels aligned
Translation: You’re not falling apart. You’re evolving.
I work with powerhouse women who have achieved so much, yet quietly wonder:
“Is this really what happiness feels like?”
No surprise, friend: You’re allowed to want more.
And you’re allowed to grow without explaining yourself to anyone.
If you’re here, you’re already on the edge of your next chapter—one built on clarity, boundaries, and a deeper connection to yourself.
I’m already betting on you.
Let’s move the beads of your abacus—one aligned shift at a time.

Client Testimonials
Client Testimonials
"Before Jess, I didn’t know how much alcohol was costing me, not just physically, but emotionally and professionally. I’d convinced myself it was just part of the job, the networking, the client dinners, the happy hours. But deep down, I felt out of alignment and honestly, exhausted. Jess created a space where I could be honest without shame. Her approach is grounded, practical, and real. I now run my business alcohol-free, feel more energized than I have in years, and for the first time, I’m making decisions from a place of clarity—not coping. This work has changed my life."
