Recognizing and Overcoming the Stress of Graduation
Graduation is an exciting time!
It’s a HUGE achievement and a time of celebration, but it can also be stressful as it signals
the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.
After years of hard work you are finally taking the next step toward adulthood!
A lot of big changes lay ahead. While most are welcome, others feel unknown and scary.
Along with the happiness, you may feel overwhelmed, and that’s okay.
Who doesn't get stressed by goodbyes and changes from what's familiar?
Yes, it is hard to let go, but exciting possibilities lie ahead!
Start by accepting an imperfect future. You’re not aiming for unattainable perfection.
You're just trying to make a smart NEXT MOVE.
It all starts with the gift of self-awareness.

Staying on Track
“A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.”
- Colin Powell
Execution of your plan is the most important part on the journey from dreams to reality.
This is where the hard work really begins! It takes strength, determination and discipline to achieve your goals. Every plan needs refinement when it is put into practice. You may run into unexpected obstacles along the way that you need to overcome, reassess your support system or realign your timelines.
During our 45 minute biweekly conversations and regular email communications, I’ll be there along the way supporting you to stay on track, talk through challenges, find solutions and celebrate successes.

Client feedback...
“Kathryn absolutely blew my mind with a coaching session. I went into this thinking that I knew everything about myself (though I was open to learning more!). She pinpointed my inner paradoxes that I didn't even understand myself and I felt seen in ways I haven't felt before."
"Kathryn has a rare generosity and I found myself taking home gems of personal and professional wisdom to apply to my life. I'm always learning something new from her and I am so grateful to have a guide like her as I dive deeper into understanding myself."
"Not only is she empathetic in her approach but she gave me practical advice on how to move forward with my current projects. Thank you so much for such an illuminating session!.”
"Kathryn was an exceptional coach. She went over and above to truly understand who I am as an individual, what is important to me and how I need to move forward to achieve my goals. "
