Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from therapy?
Therapy often focuses on processing the past and healing wounds. The Authentic Build focuses on building forward. We're not ignoring the past, but we're not living there either. We're designing what comes next.
Think of it this way: Therapy helps you understand why the house was built the way it was. I help you rebuild it.
Both are valuable. Often complementary. But different work.
How is this different from traditional coaching?
Most coaching is goal-oriented: "What do you want to achieve?"
The Authentic Build is foundation-oriented: "What are you building from?"
We don't optimize your path to someone else's destination. We redesign the destination to match who you actually are.
Do I have to quit my job / end my relationship / make big external changes?
Maybe. Maybe not.
Some people realize their external life actually aligns with their authentic values - they just needed to reconnect to why.
Others realize they're in the wrong job, relationship, or city.
We start internal. The external changes (if needed) come from clarity, not desperation.
How long does this take?
This isn't a 6-week program with a ribbon at the end.
Building something real takes time.
Most 1:1 clients work with me for 6-12 months. Some longer.
Because this is a practice, not a project.
What if I don't know what "authentic" means for me?
That's exactly why you're here.
Most people don't. They've been living on autopilot for so long, they don't know what's theirs vs. what's inherited.
That's what the Assessment and Deconstruction phases are for.
We find it together.
Is this woo-woo or practical?
Neither. Both.
The philosophy is deep (emotional and lifestyle architecture).
The execution is practical (specific frameworks, exercises, action steps).
We don't do vision boards and manifestation.
We do honest assessment and intentional building.
What's your refund policy?
Because this is deep, transformational work, I don't offer refunds after our first session.
But I do offer a free consultation call first, so we both know if this is the right fit before you invest.
No surprises. No pressure. Just clarity.
Can I do this while working full-time?
Yes. Most of my clients have full-time jobs, relationships, responsibilities.
This isn't about quitting everything and meditating in a cave.
It's about building intentionally within your real life.
What if I'm not ready to make big changes?
Then you're probably not ready for this work.
I'm not here to convince you. I'm here to build with people who are ready.
If you're curious but hesitant, start with a free consultation. Let's talk through where you're at.
Still Have Questions?
The best way to get clarity is through a conversation. Request to work together and we'll explore if this is the right fit.
