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. ☁️✨ 📖 PRE-ORDER MY BOOK (Out May 19, 2026!)
