I’ve been a little nostalgic lately.
Humor me for a sec?

I remember the exact moment I realized I couldn’t keep putting my career on autopilot.

I was 8 years into tech as a senior engineer.
​

Drained from back-to-back meetings.
Numb from endless LinkedIn scrolling (cue the doom scrolling).
Worn out from pretending I was fine when I wasn’t.

Work crept into everything.
I found myself checking Slack constantly, even while at dinner with friends. Worrying about what the next ping was going to be about.

Maybe you know that feeling, too.

That’s when I realized, blurry eyed from staring at my screen and totally disconnected from the group convo.

​
I don’t want to live like this.
I want to feel excited again. Creative again. Alive again.

Now, it didn’t happen overnight.

​
But it started with one step:

👉 Choosing to be proactive instead of staying stuck in “what if.”

That’s exactly why I’m inviting you to join me for a free, live experience:

The Career Clarity Challenge

🗓️ May 6–8 | 🕒 12pm PT / 3pm ET | 📍 the wild world of Zoom​
​
In just 3 reflective + informative sessions, you'll:

→ Reconnect with what lights you up through a guided reinvention journaling workshop
→ Design small, low-risk experiments to test new directions (instead of guessing your way forward)
→ Learn the 5 most common mistakes people make when pivoting—and what to do instead
→ Get an inside look at what coaching feels like (no pressure, just support)

​

This Challenge is for mid-senior women and non-binary folks in tech who are ready to stop overthinking and start making moves, even in an uncertain world.

It’s free. It’s live. It’s based on connection and community. With a pop-up Slack group that last year, had over 76 women join in and form friendships + collaborations.

Last time I ran a challenge, Blanca, an incredible senior engineer, said:

Messy thoughts, big questions, half-formed ideas. Come, come!

We start May 6. I’d love to see you there.

To more breathing room,
Sarah
