Meet Your

Coach, Marita

I help high performing females take control of their own paths and get unstuck,

moving past the disconnection they're experiencing in their current career path. 

Through my coaching programs, we work together to redefine what freedom looks like by renegotiating their relationships with success, money, and time, bringing more balance, joy, and peace into their lives.

I’m on a mission to empower women to break free from the patterns that are keeping them stuck and find fulfillment and alignment in their careers and everyday lives.

My coaching philosophy focuses on three key pillars:

01

LIVING IN ALIGNMENT, PRESENCE, AND JOY

02

CONSCIOUS LEADERSHIP AND PURPOSE

03

DEEPENING CONNECTION WITH SELF AND OTHERS

My own personal journey of growth and self-discovery

inspired me to create a safe space where I can help other women break free from the discomfort of following patterns that are not in alignment with their true purpose and desire for their lives.

My passion for coaching stems from my own experience as a high performing leader in the corporate world. I climbed the ladder quickly and worked alongside and led powerful colleagues and teams, which brought me a huge sense of pride, power, and achievement. Not to mention, the financial rewards left me feeling comfortable and safe in my finances and where I was at in my life.

However, the safety net of my finances couldn’t overpower the stress, overwhelm, and feeling of disconnect and unfulfillment

that I experienced in my day-to-day life.

The stress and misalignment I was feeling led to regular migraines, disconnected conversations, and a heavy feeling of being lost and not knowing what I wanted next for my future. I knew I was born to lead, but I felt like I was on a path that wasn’t my own, which was a really scary feeling.

I realized that I didn’t want to continue down the path of chasing more money and recognition,

but instead, I wanted to seek out more joy, alignment, and fulfillment in my day-to-day life while still living financially free.

I felt completely stuck, and after this discomfort got so heavy and intense, I knew I had to make a change. I embarked on a transformational journey of self-development, starting with a spiritual retreat that pushed me way outside of my comfort zone. This inspired me to hire my first coach, who helped me identify who I really was at my core and what my true purpose was.

I experienced a true epiphany in working with my coach,

discovering a passion for starting my own business and helping other women get unstuck and break free from the discomfort of following a path that isn’t their own.

In finding my own way and starting a business, I’ve realized that the path to fulfillment isn’t linear and is unique for every single person.

In finding my own way and starting a business, I’ve realized that the path to fulfillment isn’t linear and is unique for every single person.

It doesn’t always mean starting a business.

It might mean:

  • Finding greater connection in your current role.
  • Avoiding burnout by building stronger habits and relationships at work.
  • Strengthening your skills as a leader and / or people manager.
  • Asking for more power, responsibilities, and money.
  • Discovering the balance that actually brings you joy and contentment.
  • Switching industries to one that feels more aligned.
  • Working less and setting boundaries around your time.
  • Making less money and still experiencing a sense of financial freedom.
  • Or finding more balance and financial freedom by reassessing your relationship with money, time, and other people’s opinions.

My purpose

as a coach is to help you get unstuck and gain clarity on your true desires, values, and passions so you can embark on your own unique journey to greater alignment and fulfillment. All of this while still finding balance and freedom in your finances and in how you’re spending your time.

My goal

is to help you experience greater joy in your day-to-day life and career NOW, far before retirement.

My approach

to coaching is flexible and completely personalized, because I understand that there is not one single path to success, freedom, and joy. Your path is uniquely yours, and I’m here to help you discover it.

    I moved to Australia. I learned a LOT about managing stress managing people, and selling to C-Level executives, all while living on the other side of the world. What else? I paid off my debt COMPLETELY in 2017 and realized how much control money had on me up until this point. I then began studying money mindset and behavioral psychology.

  • Discovered my purpose and freedom

    2019-2020

    Eventually, I began working with a coach, discovered my purpose, and connected with the mental and spiritual tools that changed my life and brought me a sense of true work/life “freedom” for the first time.

fun facts

I live at home in Chicago with my sweet black lab, Charlie, and my boyfriend, Erik, but we are constantly on the go and love to travel.

I’ve traveled to over 30 countries (and counting)!

I NEVER thought I’d be a business owner, and totally changed my mindset about what was possible for me in just a few months.

I am a Generator in Human Design, and a Leo (Sun), Libra (Rising), Cancer (Moon). I have become obsessed with mastering my own energetics, as well as those of my clients!

Shea

Marita's Money Mindset Mastermind couldn't have been more timely for me in my money journey, my career, and this season of my life. I found that this group was the perfect compliment to other therapeutic work I've been doing and brought a sense of comradery and community that just makes you feel a little less adrift and alone in the struggle to find financial freedom. Money is sticky! And Marita has created a safe space to embrace the stickiness, own the stickiness, and (best of all) redesign the stickiness. I learned what was personally sticky for me and how money and mindset can better serve my life moving forward.

I had seen her content for MONTHS and it all really resonated with me - particularly the concept of continuing to make more, check off boxes, and feel like "now what? Is this it?" I also noticed that no matter what my income was or how much I was saving, I had a constant feeling that I wasn't doing enough. Joining this Mastermind, combined with going through the Money Management exercise with Marita, were so helpful to understand what shifts I needed to make in how I view spending and saving, reassurance that we all have these struggles, and more awareness around the blockers I have towards money.
