What's Really Going On

When you're stuck in a career rut, it feels like:

  • You are caged in your current role
  • Your career has reached a dead end
  • You're doing it just for the money
  • You don't know what else you can do
  • Persistent Monday blues and mid-week blues
Dreading Monday mornings
Shirisha (Siri)
"Here's the truth: You're not broken. The systems you've been taught are.

This isn't about a lack of effort or inherent flaw. It's about being done playing by rules that don't fit you."
– Siri
Why I Started Saner Work Life

I built this work because I was you. Successful on paper, deeply unsettled inside.

I spent far too many hours at work, wondering if I was doing enough, if I should be doing more, and if what I was doing was even valued. There was always a gap.

That cost was prohibitive for me, and I knew it was for others too.

Got Questions?

This is transformational coaching rooted in deep inquiry, somatic practices, and inner guidance.

We don't start with goals; we start with what's real. The clarity you're craving doesn't come from spreadsheets. It comes from stillness, honesty, and inner alignment.

Coaching since 2013 with over 500 hours of client coaching. ICF PCC Certified. 21+ years corporate experience including VP role at HSBC.

But more importantly: I've walked this path. I understand the complexity of outgrowing success that no longer fits.

Somatic practices help you reconnect with your body's wisdom. When we're stuck in our heads, our body often holds the answers.

We use breathwork, mindful awareness, and gentle movement to access insights that thinking alone can't reach.

Because transformation doesn't require months of analysis. When you have the right container and support, clarity can emerge quickly.

Three sessions over 21 days gives you enough time to integrate insights while maintaining momentum toward action.

Perfect. That's exactly where we start.

Most people think they need to know their destination before taking the first step. But clarity comes through movement, not through thinking harder.

I don't believe you need to be fixed, optimized, or given more strategies.

Instead, I create space for you to reconnect with what you already know. The answers are inside you. They just need permission to emerge.

Ready to Back Yourself?

You've been thinking about this for months, maybe years.

The discomfort isn't going away. It's getting stronger. That's your inner wisdom asking for your attention.
