Life + Career Coaching
For more than 15 years, I built a career as a strategic marketing leader — creating and executing campaigns to build community, drive revenue and scale growth for high growth tech startups, digital agencies, and Fortune 500s.
On the outside, to others I might have been the picture of success. But the inside was a different story. For years, I struggled with perpetual burnout and didn’t know it. I was exhausted most days when I came home from work. The to-do lists never seemed to get done, and somehow they were multiplying. Things felt harder and harder to manage. I knew there had to be a different way.
In 2016, I completed a 200 hour yoga teacher certification to help me manage my stress. Over the next few years, I also began working with mentors, coaches and licensed therapists who supported me during this transformative time.
Through the process, I uncovered so much about myself — dreams I had knocked the corners off, limiting beliefs that were keeping me stuck, and that somewhere along the way I let myself fade into the background while I was busy getting things done. I fell in love with the process of self-discovery and mindfulness tools created the foundation for my many breakthroughs.
Since then, I have been sharing the tools and techniques that transformed my life with others — teaching yoga classes and working with individuals through 1:1 coaching.
As a coach, my intention for you is to be your support through the process — guiding you to create space for yourself, rediscover what energizes you, and create the right goals for you to achieve what you really want.
Wendy There’s a BIG difference between where I’m at now vs where I was when I started working with Lynsay. I came feeling hopeless, with a very clouded sense of self, damaged self esteem – my value wrapped up in my work, and a lot of guilt that I couldn’t please others. I now feel empowered, in control of what I need/want, and unapologetic about how I live my life and spend my time and energy.
Lynsay always kept the work enjoyable, but transformational and purposeful at the same time. Our meetings were the highlight of my week!
She has a beautiful way of holding space and alchemizing words to share exactly the gold nugget that I either needed to acknowledge or learn in that moment. Those individual gold nuggets created so much transformation for me on their own, and also when connected with each other. All of our sessions built upon the previous, and I’m left feeling completely upgraded.
Kari Lynsay gave me the career guidance to take the first step that I couldn’t take on my own.
There aren’t enough nice things to be said about Lynsay. She is a cup of hot tea in the morning, a breath of fresh air when you’ve been underwater, and a warm familiar smile in a crowd of strangers. When you’re with her you feel comforted and understood, even if you’ve only just met her. I had completely lost my sense of identity and direction, both at work and at home. I felt I was failing at my job, and then coming home and failing my family. I knew I needed change but did not know how to take the first step. I reached out to the one person I felt could understand.
We spent our initial time together with her simply listening to me, learning deeply about my needs and aspirations, and giving me tools to help me navigate the stress. We then created a plan together that was easy to follow and didn’t feel overwhelming. She recognized what was realistic for me, and the rest just magically happened. I have never experienced such ease and speed in shifting my career and my life. Each step propelled me into the other and in a flash of an eye, I was finding myself again.
Fast forward to today, I have regained balance in my life, landed an amazing job at a company where I am validated for what I bring to work, and am present in more meaningful ways than ever before at home with my family.
Wook I wanted a change. I knew I needed it to unlock a growth pathway. But between the chaos of work and life, it was so difficult to set aside some mental bandwidth to prepare for, begin, and navigate through the career exploration and search process.
From our first conversation, Lynsay provided reassurance that the search process would be a manageable task. She broke down the process to decrease the cognitive load and guided me through each step so that I didn’t feel any additional pressure. Thanks to Lynsay, I was able to reframe my perspective on both the search process as well as my own self-reflection, giving me the confidence to take the next step of my growth journey.
Lynsay has the ability to meet you where you are, to connect with you as a human rather than a client, to encourage you in your growth while also keeping you accountable to the important self-reflection work, and to deliver the results you need, above and beyond the results you want.
I would highly recommend Lynsay as a thought partner, a guide, and as a support network to those who are looking for meaningful change.
