Hi, I’m Lori — And This Is the Heart Behind My Work

I used to be really good at starting… and really bad at finishing.

At one point, I had notebooks full of lists, half-finished projects, and this nagging feeling that maybe I just wasn’t disciplined enough. I’d set big goals, get excited, dive in headfirst... and then burn out before I ever made it to the finish line.

Here’s the truth:
I wasn’t lazy. I wasn’t unmotivated. I just didn’t have a system that worked with my brain.
And I didn’t know that yet.

The Turning Point

After years of helping students, teachers, and parents break down overwhelming challenges into doable steps, it finally hit me:
I wasn’t doing that for myself.

I was so used to being the helper aka the one who had it together, the one everyone came to, that I never slowed down long enough to recognize my own patterns. I kept trying to “fix” my habits by forcing myself into systems that weren’t built for me… and then wondering why I always felt behind.

Everything shifted when I stopped fighting who I was and started building habits that supported my natural rhythms instead of working against them.
Once I did that?

My energy changed.
My mood changed.
My ability to follow through changed.
And honestly, my whole sense of self changed.

When I began choosing a goal that was just for me- something that wasn’t for my school, my family, or anyone else... it lit something up. I felt grounded, more regulated, more hopeful, and more connected to myself than I had in years.

That’s when I realized:
This isn’t just about productivity.
This is about identity.

And when women finally get to experience that shift?
It changes everything.

Why I Coach

Now, I help women who remind me so much of myself- women who have big dreams and incredible intentions but feel stuck in the loop of overwhelm, perfectionism, and starting over.

My approach is simple and supportive:

• We break big goals into realistic, doable steps.

• We build habits that actually fit your life.

• We create systems that work with your brain, not against it.

• We track progress in ways that feel grounding, not stressful.

• And we do it all with compassion, structure, and a little humor.

You don’t need to “try harder.”
You need a framework that honors who you are.

If You’re Here, You’re Not Alone

If you’re reading this and thinking,
“Okay… this is literally me,”
then hi, friend... welcome.

My hope is that every post you read here leaves you feeling a little more grounded, a little more capable, and a lot less alone. You deserve support that helps you show up as the version of yourself you’ve been trying to reach for years — without burnout, without shame, and without trying to become someone you’re not.

You already have what you need.
I’m just here to help you build it, one tiny step at a time.
