Stories of Growth
I've reinvigorated my purpose with fresh & aligned opportunities.
As a founder in a rapidly-evolving space, I was constantly overcommitted: trying to do everything, everywhere, all at once. Inevitably, I burnt out. Thanks to Dr. El, I was able to recalibrate and redefine success on my own terms, and refocus my time without sacrificing my health or my drive. This newfound balance has led to greater opportunities that are so much better aligned for me, increasingly impactful, and far more fulfilling.

From burnout prevention to a blueprint for winning back my time.
Before working with Dr. El, I was the classic entrepreneur—running on passion, coffee, and fumes. I believed hustle and constant engagement was the only way to scale. Yet through our work together, I began to embrace a new way of operating, redesigning systems and processes that actually gave me my time (and sanity) back. Now, my org is dialed in, I'm putting out less fires, and I’m leading less from a sense of scattered and more from a sense of centered.
The most intellectually honest & effective professional development I've experienced.
As someone who is skeptical of the coaching industry, Dr. El's neuroscience-backed approach was a breath of fresh air. I wasn't looking for motivational quotes; I was looking for practical, research-based strategies to improve my focus and follow-through. Dr. El delivered exactly that. He helped me develop pragmatic tools that align with my nuanced nervous system needs. Given our superb work together, I'd recommend him to just about anyone.

Our work has catalyzed some of my biggest personal transformations.
I began working with Dr. El at an extremely difficult time. His compassionate and curious presence provided me the space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with aspects of myself I'd long overlooked. Through our work together, I unearthed a creative practice that's since become an incredible tool for finding calm and balance in my days and my decisions. Our conversations and sessions served as a compass through complexity to lasting clarity.
Each week, I compose two newsletters to share with my community:
