You’re Feeling Stuck. Unfulfilled. Need a Change of Career.
Tell me if this sounds like you:
-
- You know you are no longer fulfilled but aren’t sure how to change your life.
-You feel you NEED a change of career but also afraid of change.
-You’re afraid that, if you pursue what you really want, you won’t be able to pay the bills
-
-You no longer have the confidence and focus you used to have.
-You struggle with thoughts of “imposter syndrome.”
-You are questioning your career and life direction and feel you need a change of career.
-You feel you are wasting time.
-You have to give yourself a pep talk just to get through the day.
-
-The busyness of life keeps you stuck in a rut and you want out.
-By the time the work day ends, you have little time or energy left for yourself.
-You're tired of just making a living; you want to make a life.
-After years of doing everything right, you're not sure if you even want the “success” you’ve earned.
-You’re at a crossroads in life (job loss, empty nest, divorce, loss, leaving the military) and need a change in career.
You are not alone.
The truth is, it is not your fault.
We’ve been indoctrinated into a system that measures our worth through paychecks and productivity. It’s natural to want something different. Or maybe you’re at a crossroads and know deep down that now is the time. You need a change in your career.
As a career change coach, I believe the key is to take the time to get in touch with YOU so you can do meaningful work that aligns with your values and strengths, and gives you that spark! Navigating Career Crossroads will help you do just that.

Hi, I’m Dr. Theresa Lewis.
I believe that when we align our values with our work, we create a more peaceful and sustainable life for ourselves and for others.
With over two decades of working with individuals, I know that when our work is not aligned with who we are, we become drained, burnt out and experience unnecessary conflict and stress.
I’ve seen this happen over and over again and have successfully guided clients as they’ve transitioned to new jobs, changed career paths, started new businesses, and overcame the obstacles in their path to fulfilling work.
If you are beginning to sense you need a change of career, I want to do the same for you.
“Stepping onto a brand-new path is difficult, but not more difficult than remaining in a situation which is not nurturing to the whole woman.”
Maya Angelou
I often equate our early life path to following the herd, like cattle.
There’s a script that is laid out the minute we’re born. Just like when we walk into a restaurant, we know the script: you go, you sit down, you look at the menu, order the food, and so on and so forth until you’re happily fed and on your way. We don’t have to think about what to do or how to do it, its just automatic.
Life is much the same. There’s a script the moment that we’re born. Its our whole world - family, school, society, media, culture, etc writes the script for us. It serves us well and there is some comfort in that, just like there is comfort in knowing what to do when you walk into a restaurant.
But there’s also a cost.
As women, we get to a certain point in life and realize we want something different. After years of following the herd, you are loosing confidence, focus, and passion for what you do. Following the script is now feeling uncomfortable and you know you need to make a change.
As your career change coach, I want to help you go off-script and write your own story.
Story is the set of beliefs we tell ourselves over and over again. Its our comfort zone, and its the glue that keeps us stuck. You’ve gone through many experiences that have made you strong, resilient and wise. Now is the time to use that wisdom to curate your life - you are now the author of your story.
I know change is scary. I understand that it can be scary to even admit to yourself that you want something different.
But you can, and it’s OK. It’s OK to want something more.
“You don't become what you want, you become what you believe.”
Oprah Winfrey

The Process
How it works:
You’ll register. Pricing information can be found here.
We’ll meet for one-hour calls each week in a small group of women over zoom video, or individually with me, Dr. Theresa Lewis.
Throughout, we’ll meditate and prioritize our wellness practices.
Each call will be recorded and you’ll have access to the recordings long after the program ends. If you don’t want to be recorded you won’t be.
Between calls there are optional activities and reflection prompts. You can submit questions at any time.
If you’re transitioning out of the military, you’ll be invited to a private group call with a woman veteran who can offer specific support tailored to the military experience.

✅ This is for you if
You:
Want to change trajectories but are not sure what that is.
Want to be clear and intentional about your life and the work you do, but are finding it difficult to do that.
Are ready to release the influence of hidden systems and limiting beliefs that are no longer serving you.
Are ready to think deeply about who you are and the ways you can do meaningful work (even if that feels uncomfortable).
Have been wanting to start a new business or side hustle, speak up for change in your organization, set out for that promotion, or find your next job in a better fit place.
Want to spend your time doing work that energizes you and is integrated with you and your life vs work that leaves you drained and striving for “balance.”
Feel, on some level, that you need a change.
❌ This is not for you if:
You are looking for therapy. This program (both individual and group formats) is not therapy. While I’m not taking new therapy clients, the highly skilled clinicians at my group practice are available to support you in that capacity.
