About Me
Career clarity coach, personal branding strategist, mom of twins, and former lawyer who walked away from the “right” path when it stopped feeling right.
I'm awesome. That's it. That's the whole story.
Oh. You want to know more about me? Le sigh. Fiiiiiiiiine.
I'm an extremely proud Wellesley alum and a licensed attorney. I've successfully made four career pivots.
I became a career coach because I wanted other women to receive better, more honest coaching than I received years ago.
I've had the kind of career highs and lows that people make Netflix series about. I've been overworked and underpaid. Overstressed and underestimated. The one operating at 100% for so long that slipping to 85% felt like failure. The one who stayed late, worked my ass off and STILL had my accomplishments diminished. But eventually, I figured out how to strategically choose what's right for me.
Now I help other women do the same thing.
Minus the trial and error.
My Clients
This is the part where I light up.
I have yet to work with a client I don't enjoy working with. Every single one has been fantabulous. (That's a word. I'm making it a word.) There's a reason for that. During our consultation call, while they're checking to see if I'm the kind of person that they want to work with, I'm doing the same thing.
This is a "No Scrub Zone" (and if you get that reference, you're in the right place!).
My clients are smart. They're funny. And they're unapologetically ambitious. They've been operating at such a high level for so long that "normal" for them would be exceptional for most people. But they've lost sight of that.
Let me share the story of one of my clients.
She’s an anesthesiologist in a toxic job, came to me trying to figure out what else she could do with her career because she was at her wit's end. After a couple of sessions, where we talked about her current job situation and other alternative careers, we landed on the fact that it was her job that was the issue, not her.
She didn't need to change careers. She needed to change jobs. In discussing her network (one she said was nonexistent), she mentioned a former classmate who'd once said "call me if you're ever looking." Well, she was looking! So, I encouraged her to follow up.
She did follow up and her old classmate did have an opening. However, it was in a different state. She didn't let that stop her. She'd decided that she needed to start anew and she was starting with a new job in a new state.
A couple months later, she called me and said: "I had no idea my life could be this different. People here actually respect me. They ask for my opinion. You helped me get the courage to make the changes I needed to make." We still keep in touch.
And that courage? That commitment to change? That light in her face and voice when she gives me an update?
That's why I do this.
Why Tyche?
People ask all the time. Also: "Is it Tai Chi? Ticky? Taichee?"
It's TY-kee. Like Nike.
Tyche is the Greek goddess of Fortune and Fate. I chose the name because I want women to become their own goddess of their own fortune and future. To get back in the driver's seat.
Cheesy? Maybe. But I mean it.
The Personal Stuff
I live in Virginia with my husband Michael and preschooler twin boys who will be taller than me way too soon.
I have strong opinions about wine and royalty, including drag queens.
If you need a show recommendation, I’m your gal and can do it in heels and based on streaming service.
If You're Still Here
You're probably wondering if I'm the right fit.
If you're smart, capable, and done pretending everything is fine. If you want someone who gets it because she's lived it...
You're in the right place.
