‘I sought out coaching because I was looking to look deeper at the way I function as my role as a pastor. In the course of our work together, I have a better awareness of where my strengths lie and how to structure my time to take better advantage of them. I have found a better balance between my work and personal life with higher quality in both.”
A calm, restful life is possible – even in the midst of chaos

Reasons people engage Nicole for burnout recovery coaching:
Job transitions or career pivots
Recovering from a toxic work environment
Sabbatical planning and re-entering work
You’re heading an organization that is facing a busy season or big change
Exhaustion and overwhelm become too much

But, the slower season never really comes.

You’re Not Dropping Too Many Balls
You’re Carrying Too Many
Let the Calm Calendar Club help you set a few of them down.
Humane planning tools for Gen X and elder Millennial women navigating work, family, aging parents, shifting hormones — or anyone with an out-of-control calendar and a brain that doesn’t fit typical planning systems. This planning system honors your nervous system, provides structure without hustle and accountability without grind culture.
Brilliant, compassionate women like you aren’t failing. You’re overloaded: carrying careers, caregiving, households, community leadership — and blaming yourself when something slipped.
The Calm Calendar Club is not bro-marketed frameworks, rigid time blocking nor color-coded shame spirals.
We have tools + a supportive community that respects:
- fluctuating energy
- cognitive shifts
- executive dysfunction
- and the reality of being the emotional air-traffic controller of your household

“Our organization had done a long visioning process after a series of budget and staff cuts, but didn’t know exactly how to use the great feedback we had collected. Nicole’s strategic work helped us build a new staff team grounded in our core values and set the groundwork for who we have become and are becoming. I am grateful for the gentle and wise ways in which she challenged me as a leader and our organization as a whole.”

Hi, I’m Nicole
I believe that you can thrive in the midst of even chaotic change.
I know you feel exhausted, unfocused and frazzled. Pushing the big rock of change up the hill may feel like it’s just too much. You may want to give up.
I’ve been there. I worked for the declining institutional church for more than a decade. They said they wanted change and hired me because I liked to create it. Then when they started to get the change, conflict arose and I was frequently frozen out. Absorbing all the backlash from the resistance nearly burned me out.
Sticking to my spiritual practices like yoga and meditation, having the support of valued colleagues, and regularly stepping away for values-based planning enabled me to thrive, not just survive moments of incredible change and loss.
In 2018, after several weeks of meditating on my next steps, I decided these healing tools were too good to keep to myself. I started this burnout recovery and prevention community so I could pass them along to you.
