Ready to transform your life without the guilt and overwhelm?

You are a woman who is exhausted, overwhelmed and running on empty. You keep saying you will sort yourself out when things calm down. But things never calm down. They just change shape.

You want to work on your career or business but the guilt stops you. You want to set boundaries but the fear of upsetting people stops you. You want to finally put yourself first but you cannot even remember what that feels like.

You are not lazy. You are not failing. You are just carrying far more than was ever yours to carry.

And that is exactly what we change. One step at a time. A process that even someone who is busy can follow, step-by-step.

Hi, I’m Kara De Kretser Your Certified Coach

I know exactly who you are.

You are capable, educated, and brilliant at holding everything together for everyone around you. On the outside life looks fine. You are genuinely grateful for every blessing you have. But on the inside you are exhausted, you second-guess every decision and somewhere along the way your inner critic took over and stopped you from prioritising your own needs.

I was that woman. Twelve years at the United Nations advocating for women’s empowerment around the world while quietly falling apart at home. It took burnout (twice!) to finally get honest about what needed to change. I needed to put my own needs first, and transform my inner critic into my best coach.

Now I help women globally to go from exhausted and feeling stuck, to clear, confident and building a life that is finally THEIRS. Not from a textbook. From the heart. You could call this strategic step-by-step coaching that is good for the SOUL!

Here is how we work together

The 30-Minute Coffee Call

You were going to have a coffee anyway. Why not spend thirty minutes of it having the honest conversation you have been putting off with yourself for months?

Where Everything Changes

Three months of 1:1 coaching. We find exactly what is keeping you stuck, the guilt, the people pleasing, the inner critic who has been running the show, and we create a strategic plan that even the busiest of women can actually stick to. One step at a time, we take your dreams from a vision boards and bring them to LIFE!

You Stay Unstoppable

You leave knowing exactly who you are, what your values are, what you want and how to back yourself. You will have a concrete Sustainable Success Plan to keep up all the progress you have made. And you will wake up every morning seeing the world – and yourself – with a whole new lens. You’re finally living that dream life, not just pinning it to a Pintrest board.

Your questions answered

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

It is a free, no-obligation conversation. You talk, I listen. We look at where you are right now and what your next step needs to be. You walk away with clarity whether we work together or not.

No. Coaching is forward-focused. We are not unpacking your past. We are identifying what is in the way right now and working out what to do about it.

That is exactly the right place to start. You do not need to have it figured out before you book a call. You just need to show up honestly.

I do not give you a five-step formula. I ask the question that shifts everything. Every client is different and every approach is tailored.

A 3-month check-in call is included for all graduates. You also have the option to continue with Kara's accountability program for ongoing support.
