Stressed To Perfection
The Feeling: A bone-deep exhaustion paired with an ever-present anxiety that hums and spikes in erratic bursts.
The Headspace: Disillusionment and disappointment; with your company, your work, yourself.
The Fear: If I slow down, I will fail.
My clients come from diverse backgrounds yet surprisingly similar pain points. They have excelled by working harder, longer, better than everyone else, but it has come at a cost; they are finally tired of always being tired. Similarly, while their coaching journeys are each unique, their outcomes are remarkably alike. Exhaustion is replaced with an energized calm. Disillusionment and disappointment shift to clarity and action; on what they control, what they can do, and, when it comes to their job, whether to stay or go. And the fear is named; perfectionism. A promise wrapped around a threat that if I’m perfect enough, I will be enough. During coaching you will not only change your behaviors, but start to re-write the stories that have driven you into the ground. Experience the truth about high achievement and self care — that when I finally slow down, all parts of my life can flourish.

If you are seeking a well-being and career coach who offers candor, expertise, and passion for helping others succeed, hire Brittany… I honestly was hesitant at first - I had never worked with a coach and was a bit skeptical about the impact this could have on my professional endeavors. Over the last 5+ months, Brittany has coached me on leadership, presentation skills, and communication skills; identifying areas of improvement I wouldn't have seen on my own. Moreover, her actionable advice and resources have put me on the right track to continue developing those skills while finding insightful ways to balance them with what is most important to me.”

Who I CoachI help stressed-out high-performers who want more balance between their work and home lives. They are burnt out from jobs they can't switch off or disengaged and wondering "is this it?" Whatever their reasons, they all return to the same question; can I still be successful if I take time for me? Think this might be you? Learn the signs of a high-functioning perfectionist.
Why Coaching WorksCoaching is about setting goals, making changes, and iterating on what you learn. It is keeping you in the driver seat while someone with unique knowledge and skills points out things you may not have noticed, suggests a new route, and helps you navigate to a place you’d rather be. Good coaching fosters deep self-reflection, deliberate action, and empowering you, the client, to make extraordinary change in your own life.

I can't say enough amazing things about Brittany!... She's smart, kind, and fun! She's a master coach and has helped me to see things in a different light and got me on a path for next steps. She even checks back in to see how I'm doing which is above and beyond because she's such a caring person.

I highly recommend Brittany Finkelstein as a smart, witty, compassionate coach for business or personal matters… It is so important to have a coach that understands your needs and it is equally critical to have a coach who can sit in your darkness with you in a safe, empathetic and compassionate way. Brittany was both of those things for me... Brittany will show up for you as you show up for yourself. I am transformed one video chat at a time and I am forever grateful.
