Less burnout. More self-trust.

Email-based coaching for thoughtful Millennials & Gen Zers who are tired of doubting themselves and ready to rebuild self-trust—in their work, business, and daily life

My work is rooted in a quiet kind of power and trust that builds from the inside out.

My work is rooted in a quiet kind of power and trust that builds from the inside out.

Here’s what I believe:

  • You are not the problem. Systems weren’t built with your body, lifestyle, or your brilliance in mind.

  • Slowness is not laziness. It’s a return to natural rhythm. It’s where real clarity lives.

  • Burnout is a message, not a personal failing. Your exhaustion has wisdom.

  • Self-trust is the strategy. Not more hacks, hustle, or pressure—but learning to listen inward.

  • You don’t need to be fixed. You need space, support, and a structure that honors your pace.

  • Sustainability is sacred—in work, in business, and in being human.

  • Nothing here asks you to trade your well-being for a paycheck or platform.

This is a space for the misfits, the overthinkers, the too-much-feelers. For anyone tired of pretending they’re fine when they’re not.

Welcome back to yourself 🤗

Choose your journey

Start where you are. There’s a path for you here.

  • A. Burnout / Self-Grounding:

    • “I’m exhausted even when I’ve had enough sleep.”

    • “I feel like I’ve lost myself in my work or routines.”

    • “Making decisions feels overwhelming—even small ones.”

    • “I’m not sure what I want. I just know this isn’t it.”

    • “I don’t want to do anything right now, not even build something new.”

    → You’re likely in need of rest, nervous system repair, and clarity through stillness.

    B. Career Clarity / 9–5 Shift:

    • “I’m not necessarily against 9–5 work, but this job drains me.”

    • “I’m good at what I do, but it doesn’t feel meaningful anymore.”

    • “I don’t know how to translate my skills into something better.”

    • “I want to stay in the workforce but feel stuck, invisible, or behind.”

    → You’re ready for career realignment—not a full overhaul, but a better-fit path.

    C. Business Exploration / Quiet Rebellion:

    • “I daydream about working for myself—often.”

    • “I don’t want a boss. I want autonomy and creative freedom.”

    • “I’ve tried some business things but felt overwhelmed.”

    • “I want to make money in a way that actually aligns with my energy and values.”

    → You’re being called toward business-building, but gently and with strategy

    • You might want a new job, but what you actually need is time to feel again.

    • You might want to start a business, but you need to feel safe and grounded first.

    • You might need a new direction, but still want structure and stability.

Anchored Seeker

You want to stay in a 9–5 but don’t want to be stuck (or settle)

Fear isn’t about being afraid—it’s about careful planning, staying safe, and trying to do the “right thing.” Anchored Seekers are trying to stay grounded, make the 9–5 work, and find safety and purpose inside the system.

The Quiet Rebel

Animated character with green skin and hair, wearing a purple scarf, with the text "say hello to disgust."

You’re done with hustle culture and ready to build your own thing

She’s refined, doesn’t tolerate nonsense, and has zero interest in faking it. Quiet Rebels are over the corporate BS. They’re discerning, principled, and tired of pretending—just like Disgust.

Pivoting Soul

Red animated character from "Inside Out" labeled "say hello," wearing a white shirt and tie, about to press a blue button.

You’re in the in-between or could go back/forth between a 9-5 and a business

You’re fiery, frustrated, and done with limbo. Pivoting Souls are in the thick of figuring it out—tired of false starts, but not ready to give up. They want movement, clarity, and peace—just like Anger (with a plan).

Sensitive Spiral

Sadness character from "Inside Out" movie with "say hello" text on a blue background.

You are on the brink of burnout or just starting to admit that you’ve been in burnout

Sensitive Spirals are in burnout, fog, or a deep emotional season. Sadness is not only the perfect visual match, but also a reminder that softness is powerful.

Hi! I’m Raquel 👋🏽

Career strategist and professional communications specialist turned anti-burnout and self-trust guide.

I guide you through self-trust, nervous system healing, and work liberation—with intuitive and strategic tools.

Because the body is a Source, not an Obstacle.

I draw from Yoga philosophy, Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and somatic principles to guide you back to your internal wisdom. Because transformation isn’t just cognitive—it’s cellular.

I don’t push you to “optimize.” I help you find your rhythm—and protect it.

So that you heal and can navigate on two planes:

1) the world as it is outside you, and 2) the world inside you.

That’s why this work honors both somatic grounding and career/business clarity.

Integration is the goal. 🤗🤗

Maybe you want to launch a business?

Maybe you want to feel good in your 9-5 job?

Maybe you’re in the in-between?

Or you’re not sure and feeling lost…

I’m here for all of it.

“I worked with Raquel for a month during a pivotal time in both my business and personal life. As I transitioned from year 1 to year 2 of my business and settled into a longer-term home after 4 years of nomadic living, Raquel provided invaluable support and accountability.

She helped me refine and finalize a lead magnet I had started months earlier but wasn’t confident about.

Thanks to her guidance, it has since received excellent feedback. Raquel also offered fresh, insightful perspectives on my marketing and website, which sparked new ideas I plan to implement moving forward.

One of the biggest challenges she helped me tackle was redesigning my website to be more customer-centric, applying the lessons I learned in my first year of business. Though the website is still a work in progress, Raquel provided several copy variants that I’ll be drawing from as I continue to refine it.

If you’re feeling stuck or unsure of where to begin, I highly recommend Raquel. She’s a fantastic person to work with.”

“After attending some live sessions and watching recordings of others [from the beta Career BFF membership], I can say with certainty that anyone who has the opportunity to work with you will walk away with more than just career advice—they’ll gain valuable life insights as well.

You genuinely care about people and their experiences, and that’s a rare quality, especially in a career coach.”
