High-Achieving Women Aren't Struggling Because They Lack Grit

Studies find that 59% of women in the workforce show signs of burnout, and over half of women in leadership positions describe feeling worn thin most days. This is not a personal weakness. It is the predictable result of years producing at the highest tier while carrying hidden responsibilities that never appear in any written role description.

At True North Coaching, we work alongside high-achieving women in Leander to sort through the full situation, not only treat the visible signs.

Reasons Women in Leander Reach Out for Burnout Coaching

You cannot recall when work last felt worth doing.

You reached the targets you set as a leader, and the sense of fulfillment you expected did not follow.

Something still feels off. You have the title and the results, but you do not know what comes after this.

You are ready to stop grinding through each day and start leading in a way that actually feels worth it.

You know a better version of this life is possible, but you have not been able to get there on your own.

That history shapes every part of her coaching practice today.

Today, Shelley stands as one of Leander's most credentialed burnout and leadership coaches for women, bringing an unusual mix of corporate background, formal coach training, and steady mindfulness practice into every client engagement she takes on.

What Coaches Are Saying

  • "It was a privilege to work with Shelley as my leadership coach! The process was structured and yet flexible enough to meet needs as they arose. Shelley helped me to grow, learn more about myself, and to really achieve what I set out to accomplish. We worked on planning, navigating a promotion successfully, and so much more! I experienced many successes as a result of working with Shelley, she has great resources, knowledge, and really helps with setting the foundation to this coaching work. She won’t let you down!"

    Stacy Campos
    Regional Coordinator

  • "Having the opportunity to have Shelley as my Leadership Coach could not have come at a better time in my career. I was recently promoted to CFO and was new to the Senior Management Team. Shelley helped me navigate joining the team as well as helped me to determine who I wanted to be as a leader. The Leadership Circle Profile helped our team to discover our blinds spots and to be able to understand each other better. Working with Shelley not only has affected my professional life in a positive way, but also my personal life. She helped me take leaps and has given me the resources to continue this journey of self-improvement. If you’re looking to find more about yourself and how you can be the best version of yourself, I highly recommend working with Shelley."

    Kristen Spedale
    CFO

  • "I have been working with Shelley for the past 2 years on my leadership development journey. What I thought would be a straight line, I soon learned with Shelley’s guidance, was a winding path with several ups and downs along the way. Shelley supported me as I took a deep dive into my professional and personal history and learned how it affects my approach and my perceptions. She helped me to slow down and recognize certain behaviors and understand that I can pivot in the moment or try again next time. Ultimately, my work with Shelley turned out to be so much more than what I expected. Her approach to coaching was exactly what I needed."

    Nicole Naassan
    Senior Vice President, Consulting

  • "I've learned more about leadership in the past six months working with Shelley than I have in my 10+ year career. She is an incredible coach with many tools in her toolbox. The guidance and mentorship I've received from Shelley has been life-changing. She will challenge your limiting beliefs and inspire new ways of thinking."

    Margaret Soltis
    Creative Director

  • "I highly recommend Shelley if you need a coach, thought partner, and guide as you consider the next steps in your career. Most importantly, she is an expert at helping you cut through the noise of your limiting beliefs. At the end of our time together, I had a much clearer vision of what I wanted in my life and a plan to make it happen. My only regret is that I didn’t find her sooner!"

    Elizabeth Magnus

  • "My coaching sessions with Shelley have brought me back to living. It’s been contagious, spreading throughout my personal and professional life. I now have the building blocks I need to continue setting healthy boundaries, the freedom to show up as my authentic self, and an adaption of a growth mindset that has allowed me to make bold decisions and try new things. I’ve discovered that there’s always another way and how to eradicate barriers that lead to tunnel vision. These sessions with Shelley have been a great gift and have given me the momentum I need to continue the journey to be my best self."

    Teasha Houston
    Art Director

  • "It is amazing to think where I was only 10 months ago when I first started working with Shelley and where I am now. Not only professionally but mentally and emotionally. Shelley helped me navigate out of an unhealthy work environment by challenging me and asking me those tough questions we never seem to ask ourselves. What are the values of a true leader? How do those values align with my own? Shelley challenging me and guiding me through some of those tough questions is what led to my epiphany and me having the courage and confidence to leave an environment that threatened my well-being. She taught me how to become more self-aware and self-compassionate. Reminded me to be kind even when the world would understand if I did otherwise. And the biggest one for me, shutting down that crazy inner voice (we all have it!) and replacing it with being present. Shelley has armed me with tools that I will carry with me for a lifetime. Tools that will help me to continue to grow and learn. Life can be hard but working with someone like Shelley does make it easier. She will help you navigate the good and the bad and you’ll learn so much about yourself in the process."

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Burnout coaching is a one-on-one, forward-focused process that helps professionals identify the source of their exhaustion and create a realistic path to lasting energy and engagement at work. With Shelley, sessions are conducted virtually and built around your individual circumstances. The process is not about reviewing the past but about getting clear on the direction you want to take and removing what stands between you and that outcome.

  • Therapy addresses past experiences and clinical mental health needs. Coaching is aimed at the present and future, developing the skills, mindset, and leadership qualities that help you keep moving forward. Shelley practices coaching, not therapy, and coaching is not a clinical service. A number of clients choose to work with both a therapist and a coach simultaneously and find that the two complement one another.

  • Shelley works with women in professional and leadership roles, including executives, managers, and entrepreneurs who are experiencing burnout or hoping to get ahead of it. If you feel depleted, disconnected from your purpose at work, or like something is fundamentally off, this coaching is built for you.

  • Most clients commit to working with Shelley for six to nine months, although the actual duration reflects your goals and your starting point. Generating sustainable change is a process that takes time, and Shelley builds her work on that foundation rather than offering fast fixes.

  • Every coaching session with Shelley is held virtually through video, which means you can participate from wherever you are. Clients often find that virtual appointments are easier to protect in a packed schedule, and that flexibility matters when your time is tight.

  • Yes. In addition to burnout coaching and leadership coaching for individual clients, Shelley offers leadership training programs for organizations. If you want to bring burnout prevention or leadership development to your workplace, contact Shelley to discuss what a program for your team might look like.
