Tell me what's
on your mind.
I'm listening.
Career advice, encouragement, a little direction — or simply someone who'll listen without judgment. No lectures, and never the dreaded "I told you so."
Chat, phone or video anywhere · In person too · Completely private
Brain feeling like 27 tabs are open? 😅
Yeah — same. You don't have to figure it all out alone. Bring the big thing, the small thing, or the thing you haven't said to anyone yet.
Need advice? Stuck on something? Or just need to talk?
What I offer is life coaching and mentoring. What gets said here stays here. What you walk away with is confidence, direction, and the peace of mind of knowing you're moving the right way.
Sometimes talking to friends and family isn't enough — or it comes with judgment, pressure, or the dreaded "I told you so." Here you get real conversation, honest guidance, and zero judgment.

Ever wondered how successful people get there — and stay there? They don't do it alone. They work with coaches and mentors who help them line up purpose, direction and action.
You deserve that too.
The best part? It starts with a simple conversation.
You don't need a crisis to deserve half an hour of someone's full attention.— Dee
Read as much or as little as you like.
Tap any of these to open it. Or skip straight to booking — that works too.
How a conversation usually startsThe kind of thing people open with, and what I say back.
How I work — six things I hold toWhat happens, what doesn't, and what you're never expected to do.
No programme, no packages you have to grow into. Just a few things I hold to, every single time.
It stays between us
What you say isn't repeated, shared, or brought up later — not to anyone, not even as an anonymous example. That's the whole basis of it.
Zero judgment, genuinely
No lectures, no "I told you so," no face you have to manage. You can tell me the unflattering version — that's usually the useful one.
I'll be honest with you
Kind isn't the same as agreeable. If I think you're talking yourself out of something, I'll say so — gently, and then I'll listen to why.
You don't have to arrive organized
No intake form, no worksheets, no homework before we start. "I don't really know how to explain it" is a fine opening line.
No pressure to continue
Come once. Come every week. Come back in a year when things get loud again. There's no package you're failing to complete.
I'm not a therapist — and I'll say so
I'm a coach and a friendly, experienced ear.
About DeeTwenty years of it, and why the people part matters most.
For more than 20 years I've had the privilege of helping people navigate challenges, recognize their potential, build confidence, and take meaningful steps toward the life and career they want.
My professional background includes operational strategy, P&L management, sales and market-share growth, cost control, leadership development, and turning struggling businesses into successful ones. But over the years I've learned that the most rewarding part of my work isn't the numbers or the business results — it's the people.
I've mentored leaders through career transitions, helped people find their confidence when they were questioning themselves, encouraged others to take on challenges they didn't think they were ready for, and supported people as they pursued promotions, new opportunities, and entirely new directions in life.
That experience taught me something I believe deeply: sometimes we don't need someone to tell us what to do. We need someone who will listen, ask the right questions, challenge our thinking, help us see what we may not be seeing ourselves, and remind us that we're capable of more than we believe.
That's the approach I bring to life coaching and mentoring.
I was born and raised in Chicago, and I've since traded the city life for the mountain air of Arkansas. These days I enjoy the scenery, the hiking trails, and the wildlife that seems to show up everywhere. When I'm not helping someone work through a challenge, you'll probably find me hiking, rockhounding, exploring the outdoors, or cheering on my beloved Chicago Cubs.
I believe we're all works in progress. I certainly am. After 20 years of mentoring and helping others navigate their own paths, I'm still learning, still exploring, and still figuring things out — just like everyone else.
Pull up a chair & Let's TALK!
Questions people ask me quietlyGetting emotional, staying anonymous, whether 30 minutes is enough.
What if I get emotional?
Then you get emotional. It's a conversation, not a performance — and you'd be surprised how often it happens about five minutes in. I'm not fazed, and I won't make it a thing.
Do I need to know what I want to say first?
No. Plenty of people start with "I don't really know why I booked this." That's usually a sign it was the right call.
Can I keep it anonymous?
Your first name is plenty. You never have to tell me where you work or who anyone is — say "my boss" and "my friend" and we'll get along fine.
What if it's not for me?
Then tell me, honestly, and that's the end of it — no hard feelings and no follow-up emails trying to change your mind.
Is 30 minutes really enough?
It's enough to get clear on one thing and leave with a next step. Most people are surprised how much lifts just from saying it out loud to someone who isn't involved.
Can we meet in person?
Sometimes, yes — if you'd rather sit across from someone than look at a screen, say so when you book and we'll see what we can arrange. Otherwise it's video, voice or text, and that works just as well.
How soon can we talk?
Often the same day. If I'm free you'll see it on the calendar — and if it's urgent, say so when you book and I'll do my best to move things.
The best part? It starts with a simple conversation.
One room. Type, talk, or turn the camera on.
You don't have to decide how brave you feel before you book. Pay once, get one link — then inside, choose how you want to talk. Switch anytime, mid-conversation.
turn it on whenever you’re ready
Start typing. Finish talking.
Some people open up faster when they can write it down first. Others want to hear a voice straight away. You get to decide in the moment — and change your mind halfway through.
It's the same private room either way. Nothing to download, no account to make, and nothing left behind on your phone afterwards.
Would you rather have a one-on-one phone call?
Great — that's an option too. (312) 620-0355

Before we talk — one important thing
I'm a life coach and mentor. I am not a licensed therapist, doctor, or crisis counselor, and what happens here isn't therapy or medical care.
If you're in crisis, or thinking about harming yourself, please reach people who are trained for exactly that — right now, and free: call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, 24/7), or dial 911 in an emergency.
The world already does enough to tear you down.
