Not the right answer. The real one.
Ok but what
do you actually want?
A place to find the wildest, truest version of who you are.
Probably in the messiest way possible.
Maybe you know what you want. Maybe you're wondering why it still doesn't feel like enough, or why you keep not going for it.
Wherever you are, let's start there.
Maybe where you are looks kind of like this. That's ok too.
Or maybe you have seventeen answers and zero answers at the same time.
Ever have the sense there's this mythical destination where you'll have officially "made it" and can finally relax? Like if you work hard enough, care deeply enough, keep improving yourself, get everything right... you'll finally be living the life of your dreams.
Weird how that finish line keeps moving though.
You too? Ok cool, glad to have company.
Pull up a chair, or a patch of grass if you prefer.
I've been exploring and untangling this in myself for years. The performing, the never feeling like enough, the trying to get it right. I find more to untangle every day. I'm also a trained coach who has spent a lot of hours with people navigating exactly this.
The way I coach starts with getting genuinely curious about your relationship to yourself. Not to fix, not to try and gain control, not to become a better person. Just to make room for whatever is knocking on your door.
When you're not spending so much energy trying to manage yourself, there's a lot more available for creating what you actually want.
Less holding in the thing you actually want to say. More following through on what matters. Less second guessing (or tenth guessing) yourself.
More aliveness. More you.
Hi! I'm Max.
I am trans, queer & neurodivergent, a certified coach & leadership trainer, a PCT thru-hiker, and someone who blew up a life that looked right on paper to find out what actually felt like mine.
Several times :)
I love helping people reconnect with themselves and build a life that looks like who they actually are.
Some things about me that have nothing to do with coaching or, well, anything:
I have a fake front tooth (yes it is removable, and yes I do enjoy freaking people out with it). I have played the Celtic harp for over 30 years (sheesh 8 year old Max, could have picked a lighter instrument). I usually tear up when stadiums cheer for a hard fought win, especially by an underdog.
You don't have to have it all figured out to reach out.
30 minutes, free, no strings. We talk about what you want, or what feels off if you're not sure yet. You'll get a taste of what it's like to work with me. Ask me anything. It's a vibe check, for both of us.
