Stop playing small, figure out what you really want and go after your biggest ambitions alongside a group of fellow creative weirdos.
You want to look back knowing you took full advantage of life… but right now you feel like you’re missing out.
You keep watching people just as smart as you (or frankly, less) get promoted, publish a book or build a business while you hide your magic behind a mask of normalness.
You KNOW you’re capable of SO MUCH MORE but…
😣 You get lost in what other people expect of you and don’t even know how you feel anymore. You struggle to get in touch with what you really want and wish you could trust your inner voice instead of turning to everyone for advice.
😣 You get overwhelmed easily when thinking about all the possibilities. You’re terrified of making the "wrong" choice, and find the risk of failure debilitating. Everytime you start a project, you give up halfway through and the shame monster shows up.
😣 …so you do just enough to get by and be unnoticed but feel bored and unmotivated which is unsettling because you used to be such a passionate person.
Let’s face it: You’re a lion pretending to be a sheep. 🦁
I know, because I was there.
Hiding in a toilet stall at work wondering if there was more to life than endless weeks of 9-5.
Putting my creativity to the service of clients whose projects I struggled to care about, telling myself I should be grateful for what I have.
Showing just a little part of me and hiding my big dreams because I didn’t want to embarass myself or be seen as delusional and entitled.
Today, I’m not a wallflower anymore.
I’ve become extremely clear about what I want and relentless in the pursuit of my ambitions.
This led me to:
Thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail
Switching career and starting a coaching business with more impact and a flexible schedule
Leaving a good-enough relationship and meeting the partner of my dreams
Coming out as queer and exploring the world of kink
The biggest shift happened when…
👇
I started questioning everything I thought was impossible for a dork like me.
👇
I told myself “Maybe I could?”
👇
…and decided to actually try instead of worry.
😬
One step at a time.
This bold expansion is accessible to you too. 🦋
What I learned in 5 years, I’ll teach you in 6 months.
Imagine…
🤩 Being so clear and unapologetic about where you’re going that other people’s opinions are as irrelevant as one-star reviews on your favorite book.
🤩 Trusting your inner voice so deeply that you can make scary decisions in your personal, professionnal and financial life without freaking out.
🤩 Being able to try new things and follow through because you put yourself first without guilt and are not an asshole to yourself when you make mistakes.
THIS COULD LOOK LIKE…
Your intuition tells you to leave your job or relationship, so you listen and are able to move forward without excessive anxiety because you trust there’s something more aligned around the corner.
You want to write a book or have a podcast, so you get started without too much worry about what people will think because the creative process is fun for you and you know you need to be average before you can be great.
You believe your work is worth a higher salary, so you have an honest discussion with your employer in which you focus coming up with a mutually beneficial agreement without making it personal.
The only way there…
is through your fears.

Introducing…
Stop playing small, figure out what you really want and go after your biggest ambitions alongside a group of fellow creative weirdos.
✅ Intimate small-group experience
✅ 6 months of weekly coaching

“The program was an opening of new doors of possibility in my life. I recommend this to anyone who feels stuck: like their life is OK but something is lacking. I found my strength and realized that belief in myself was the missing ingredient to create change.”
— SARAH
You’ll master
3 key skills.
-
Self-knowledge and soul-stirring vision
Getting clear on your innermost desires and how to fulfill them will light up a deeper sense of meaning and stronger internal drive to overcome obstacles on the journey.
Example: Leaving your long-term relationship is painful but you know it’s the right decision because the person does not align with the fulfilling life you are creating for yourself.
-
Emotional tolerance to uncertainty
Increasing your nervous system capacity to take risks will allow you to get out of stagnation and make decisions that are aligned with your truth - no matter how scary - because you know you can recover after setbacks.
Example: You leave the stabity of your current job to pursue your passion and don’t know how this new path will unfold but remain open to adapting along the way.
-
Grounded drama-free thinking
Developping the ability to separate facts from fears will allow you to reduce anxiety and navigate challenges with a clear mind rather than becoming overwhelmed by the stories you tell yourself.
Example: When writing your first book, you view feedback as valuable insight for improvement rather than a personal attack on your competence.
Are you ready to define your unique vision and develop the mental and emotional strength to finally make change happen?
The journey
-
Month 1 - Deep understanding
You’ll start by having an honest humbling look at your current state and accept what is instead of numbing or running away. There’s no rush. You won’t end up in a better place if you cannot relax where you are.
You feel behind in life? You wish you’d have a fancier career or more money saved up? That’s OK. Let’s tell the truth - but let’s not dramatize the situation either. We need to unshame in order to get real clear about what really happened and the ways in which you need to uplevel.
-
Month 2 - Big dreaming
The next step is to practice sharing your wild desires within the safety of our group; as a way to rehearse your truth before taking real-life action.
You want to be a rich artist? An award-winning creative director? A bestselling author? Say it loud and proud - WITHOUT thinking about the “how” or the obstacles yet.
This space for dreaming is essential to reconnecting with the inner voice you’ve neglected for most of your adult life.
-
Month 3 - Bold decision-making
Time to dive into the art of decisiveness. Confusion and procrastination are just fancy forms of fear. I’ll teach you how to deconstruct the fears that come up so you can make aligned choices without hesitation.
Then you’ll distill the possibilities we explored into 3 concrete goals to focus on in the next 3 months, as well as an implementation plan that’s going to push your limits while also feeling sustainable and unique to you.
-
Months 4-5-6 - Playful iteration process
Halfway through, we’ll jump into an iteration process and learn to regulate our emotions outside our comfort zones.
You’ll try new things and make bold requests. You’ll be expected to get it wrong because the faster you fail, the faster you learn and build resilience.
Confidence comes when you realize you can cope just fine when you have the right tools and people supporting you on the journey.
The Confident Nerd School is action-focused.
You’ll get out of your head and learn to be kind to yourself and manage your fears as you try new things, mess up and try again with the constant support of your coach and peers.
This is how you build resilience and become unstoppable.

“I've been showing up for myself, just being honest about how I feel. And it feels freeing to actually show up as who I am, instead of this perfect person that I always wanted people to think I was.”

“I didn't feel at home within myself anymore, but I found a way back to the enthusiastic person that I am. I'm working on a project that I’d been wanting to do for years but never put my all into it. I feel like I'm finally moving again.”

“The impact on my life is everywhere. I'm not tripping myself up with small things, I have better relationships, I am able to be more present and to look at my goals without looming fear of letting myself down. Instead, I can work towards these things knowing that I'm gonna be okay. On the inside. Regardless of what’s going on.”

“What I’m most proud of since joining the program is letting action give me clarity instead of waiting for clarity before doing anything. Being in the program has de-dramatized the whole process of starting something new and really helped move things along more quickly.”

My approach
When I got home after thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, I’d become unstoppable. I was on a mission to show other self-doubting nerds they could achieve their impossible dreams too.
So I got certified as a coach and combined the methods of inner exploration I learned with my creative twist as a former illustrator, resulting in a playful in-depth approach that’s ideal for visual learners who are not afraid to get vulnerable.
Over the last 4 years, I’ve helped 100+ clients design a life that’s driven by purpose rather than fear.
My clients would tell you my strengths are…
Helping them come face to face with what they really want and the truth they’ve been in denial about.
Firmly but lovingly calling out the ways they keep themselves small and offering empowering alternatives to step into their most courageous selves.
Always encouraging action rather than overthinking.
Making them laugh and cry in the same minute.
Big brainstorms to unlock your best ideas.
When I hired my first coach, she saw a powerful version of me and held that vision until I was brave enough to meet her there.
This is what Confident Nerd School is about: a 6-month container for you to uncover and rehearse who you can become when you stop listening to the inner critic and start following your inner voice instead.
⚠️ BEWARE!
This is not an online course.
When you join the Confident Nerd School, you step into an intimate experience with high-touch support and quality tools. The group and I know what your dreams are and are always here to lift you up and keep you accountable.
The work we do will set you free and help you move at full speed in one direction.
There’s no better time to start.

“The program helps me prioritize the things that are important in my life and make sure that I make space for those... because there’s been times where those things slowly got pushed out and that's when I would go into burnout. Now I’m very conscious of what I value and what brings happiness and meaning in my life so I set boundaries and don't make those sacrifices.”

“Through the program I've come to see that I don't have to resign myself to staying in a job just for the promise of a good pension check at the end of it. Yes, it's scary and I'm sometimes afraid of taking risks. But I honestly feel more alive. I feel like I have more energy and a lot more commitment to what I want to do and what makes me happy.”

“I was getting restless about moving to a more outdoorsy city. But now I'm like a candle. I light myself up and then people come to me effortlessly. Connections deeper than I could ever imagine. And I'm not even trying!!! I used to look for joy outside of me. Now I create it inside of me and it shines all around."

“I'm most proud of the mental flexibility I've gained - both in redirecting negative thought patterns but also in imagining different futures for myself. I put less pressure on myself because I have more of a big picture perspective. I focus on what I'm building towards instead of how my performance in the next 10 minutes impacts things."

FAQs
-
You don't need to have an idea or to have accomplished anything specific in order to start. Quite the contrary. The program will set you up to feel ready for the next stage of your life. You can come in feeling lost, and you’ll come out feeling focused.
My previous client Emily wrote: “I hesitated because I didn't feel ready. But coaching helps you make your own huge transformation, by helping articulate your purpose and direction and the steps to get there. By the time I was "ready" in my mind, I would have needed to already be at the destination that coaching helped direct myself towards.”
-
This is up to you, but averages between 1 and 3 hours a week. If you feel like your schedule is packed already, don’t worry! The first module of the program is about making time for this in your life.
Also - it’s OK to go away and miss a week or two here and there. The program is very flexible and you’ll have lifetime access to the lessons.
-
There are different group calls for different time zones! As for 1:1 calls, you can book them whenever works best for you.
-
Everyone in the group is super welcoming, and you’ll feel right at home within a matter of weeks. We laugh, we cry, we get deep real fast.
My client Leonie wrote: “I was resistant to group coaching at first. I thought I would sit back and not participate because I'm kind of shy, and I don't really want to do those deep thought provoking exercises with other people. But it was very easy to overcome that and I've never felt uncomfortable to say something, seeing that everybody else in the group is extremely inclusive and respectful. It's really nice to be around people who have similar desires to grow. That has been the best part. Just from listening to other people and being able to relate to what they say and what their stories are has been a tremendous help.”
