You’ve built something incredible.
So why does success feel like a trap?
You're successful by every measure that matters to everyone else.
But you're running on autopilot — reacting instead of choosing, performing instead of living. You don't need another system. You need to know what you're building it all for.
You've done everything right.
You’ve read all the books. You’ve listened to all the podcasts. You’ve done masterminds and maybe even some intensives. You set goals. You build systems. And for a while, things work — until they don't. You're back where you started, wondering what you're missing.
Sound familiar?
→ You're winning at work but feel like you might be losing where it matters most
→ You're always on — reacting to things instead of choosing deliberately
→ You've achieved what you set out to achieve, and it doesn't feel like you thought it would
→ You're exhausted by a pace you created — and you're not sure how to change it
→ You know something needs to shift, but you've lost patience with advice that doesn't stick
““I have consumed massive amounts of personal and business growth knowledge from all the industry-leading authors. I have tried all kinds of tips, tricks, hacks, advice, techniques — and I am NOT getting the results I am looking for. It may work for a short time, then I fall flat, and I’m back to where I started. What is going on here?””
“Working with Jan exceeded my expectations because she helped me realize I needed to define my values before setting goals in order for things to realize. It was a bit of psychology mixed with atomic habits mixed with positive reinforcement. My habits are sticking in a way that they haven’t before.”
Here's what nobody tells us.
The books teach tactics. Tactics are useless without the right foundation. It’s just another what without a why.
Most high performers find themselves running towards goals they never chose fueled by values that weren’t their own— inherited from parents, culture, industry, the voice in their head that's been calling the shots since they were twelve. They're building elaborate systems on top of a compass that's pointing somewhere they don't actually want to go.
That's why nothing sticks. That's why success feels hollow. That's why you keep ending up back in the same place.
““I was shocked to learn how many so-called values I had inherited from others. Jan led me through simple exercises to uncover my authentic values — ones that are truly important to me.””
““When I first started working with Jan I was overwhelmed at work and at home. Jan has helped me determine what my true values are and make sure my efforts align with these values. Once that has been set, we built my schedule around these values which forced me to say no to a lot of things and respect my schedule. Once we passed this hurdle, things really started to fall in order. I now feel like I have more time each day than I really need, which leaves me time to work the creative side of my brain and help both my business and my family relationships prosper. After working with Jan for the past year I can safely say that I have a better relationship with my wife, I am a better parent, I am much more efficient and effective at work, and I am overall happier than I have ever been.””
Hi, I’m jan
Before I became a psychologist, coach, and entrepreneur, I was a corporate attorney. I’ve sat with founders closing their first round and executives going private and going public. All navigating high-stakes decisions and being “on” all the time. Now, I help founder and leaders stop running on autopilot and start operating from a clear internal compass — through a research-backed framework, not more productivity hacks.
My clients come to me because they're done with coaches who don't understand their world. They want someone with real credentials, real experience, and a real framework for change who is ride-or-die on their side.

““You knew what I needed without me even knowing what I needed. But you never said that, which made you such a highly effective coach.””
““I don’t need help from a self-proclaimed life coach whose experience is based on fluff and guesses. I need a heavy-hitter — a high-performance coach who is authentic, caring, experienced, has all the credentials, and is results-driven. In an industry with many imposters, Jan is the real deal.””
