For much of my early adult life, I was caught in a cycle of overthinking, striving, and pushing my limits.
Being a successful collegiate endurance athlete taught me to ignore my body's cues and suppress my body’s signals, and the sport I chose – rowing – was the perfect match for my mindset: push harder, ignore the pain, prove myself, no matter the cost.
After college, I went after an elite-level rowing dream, hoping to make the U.S. National Team. I worked full-time while pushing through intense training, believing that relentless achievement would finally make me feel like I belonged. As a formerly unathletic kid, becoming a high-level athlete was a balm for a deep wound.
But at age 25, a genetic heart condition ended that dream, forcing me into my first career transition. I left corporate life behind and turned to coaching collegiate athletics. I wasn't ready to let go of the athlete identity, so I poured my passion into coaching. The work paid off and at age 30, I became the Head Women’s Rowing Coach at Georgetown University. I thought I had arrived.

1:1 Career Coaching & Leadership Development for high-achieving professionals
This isn't just about finding a new job. It's about reconnecting with your true self and taking purposeful action toward a career path that aligns with your deepest values and aspirations.
Hi, I'm Miranda
I help high-achieving professionals reconnect with their true selves and align their careers with their deepest values and aspirations.
I’ve experienced the power of integrating the mind and body in leadership and career development, blending somatic coaching with applied neuroscience and a high-performance athletic mindset.
I hold Leadership Coaching certifications from Georgetown University and a PCC credential from the International Coach Federation. As a former elite athlete, U.S. National Team coach, and yoga instructor, I combine a results-driven, high-performance mindset with a compassionate, holistic approach to create lasting personal and professional transformation.
My Story
Starting my own business wasn’t an act of bravery, as others called it – it was the only option that felt right for me.
I knew I had to find a way to break free from what wasn’t working. I used my embodied intelligence to navigate a way forward, even though I didn’t fully understand the science behind it at the time.
I became a Leadership & Career Coach because I believe, in my bones, that everyone has unique gifts to offer the world. Most of us are too busy and distracted by someone else’s version of life to really listen to ourselves to hear and create that vision.
I know that you can do work you love, work you are uniquely capable of doing, and not have to sacrifice time, energy, money, or values to make that happen. Nothing makes me happier than watching people rediscover their strengths and use them to carve out careers that fulfill them.
My curiosity to understand this process led me to years of research and the development of evidence-based practices, which culminated in a clear, yet powerful approach to career transformation.
Everything I learned forms the foundation of my work. I don’t just teach a system; I teach what I’ve lived. Today, I help others navigate their career transitions with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
It was my “dream job” – an achievement I worked my entire life for. But there was a problem…
My energy had limits and I was exhausting them. I worked 60-80 hours a week, ignoring every signal my body sent. I was so immersed in the intensity of my work that I didn’t see the toll it was taking.
I was convinced that if I just pushed harder, the burnout would be worth it and that the sacrifice would eventually pay off. But it didn’t.
Then something unexpected happened.
My husband got the news that he wasn’t hired for a job he’d applied for… and I broke down. In that moment, I realized I was yearning for a break, for a different pace of life, for a different relationship to work. When the chance for that “off-ramp” was taken away, I realized I needed to create it for myself.
The question was, how?
