Today we have a really special video for you, a live 1-hour coaching session with Angela (who goes by Annie), a writer and podcast producer, and member of the YouTube channel. Annie recently left her 9-5 at a non-profit and has spent the past year building a freelance writing business. In this session, we talk about where to focus her energy, pricing, positioning, and how to build a concrete offering for her clients.

Thank you Annie for joining me (follow her and listen to her podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/@anniezomaya151/)

Welcome to the Farm! 🌲✨

Hi friends! I'm Mandy—a career coach and former Corporate America girlie turned writer. I currently live on a 4-acre farm in the Pacific Northwest with my husband Brendan and our two kids. After a decade-plus climb through editorial (W Magazine) and finance (American Express), I realized I was chasing success at the cost of personal satisfaction. With a BA from Brown, an MBA from Columbia, and training as a shamanic practitioner, I now bridge the gap between high-level strategy and healing.

I'm here to help you navigate life purpose, career identity, and rediscovering your creativity. Let's heal those career wounds together. ☁️✨
