The Why Behind Unlearning Work: Principles That Shape Our Community

I began in Big Tech and business operations, where I worked my way up to a VP role. I then co-founded a company with my husband that implemented complex systems for global retail chains.

We were classic high performers - always on and always productive. But beneath that success, I felt exhausted, trapped in a cycle of overwork, perfectionism, and the constant sense that I wasn’t doing enough.

Everything shifted in 2014 when my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. This moment prompted me to re-evaluate how I was working and living. I realized that I had spent years optimizing systems and strategies everywhere except in my own mind and habits.

So, I began the process of unlearning. I pursued a Master’s in Organizational Psychology and trained in coaching and behavioral science. I started applying what I was learning to myself first.

The Unlearning Work method emerged from my necessity for change. It’s the very system I used to rebuild my work life after experiencing loss, burnout, and overwhelm. I learned to work with my brain instead of forcing myself into systems that didn’t fit.

Now, I help others do the same. Whether you’re leading a team, launching a business, or just trying to get through your week without burning out, this method can help you move from friction to flow and create a rhythm that works for you.

The Unlearning Work Community is where we stay accountable to what matters most, challenge outdated expectations, and build momentum together. I bring my executive experience and practical, science-informed coaching to guide members through the real challenges of navigating growth without hustle, burnout, or shame.

Whether you're building a business, exploring new possibilities, or simply trying to do work differently, this is a space to move forward with intention, not urgency.
