In this deeply inspiring client success story, Coach Mo interviews Patti, a healthcare executive who transformed from a reactive, triggered professional into a confident C-suite leader through soul-powered coaching. Patti's journey began during a critical merger acquisition when she realized her patterns of stress response were sabotaging her career advancement.

As an experienced nurse who had worked her way from bedside oncology care to running a hospice company for 12 years, Patti possessed impressive credentials and expertise. However, she found herself trapped in cycles of fight-or-flight responses during high-pressure situations, leading to reactive behaviors that undermined her leadership effectiveness. The impending merger became her wake-up call—she knew she needed help to break these patterns before they derailed her career during this crucial transition.

Through Coach Mo's comprehensive coaching program, Patti learned to recognize when she was triggered, develop tools to regulate her nervous system, and create space between stimulus and response. This foundational work allowed her to navigate the merger successfully, leading to not one but multiple promotions and her current C-suite position.

What makes Patti's story particularly powerful is her honesty about the internal work required. She openly discusses learning to slow down, identify her resources, ask for help, and hold people accountable without anger or resentment. The transformation wasn't just professional—it rippled through every area of her life, from her marriage to her decision-making about how to spend her time and energy.

Now thriving in her executive role while pursuing her passion for competitive ballroom dancing and exploring innovative work combining hospice care with movement therapy for neurological conditions, Patti exemplifies what's possible when soul work meets strategic career development. Her advice to other women considering coaching is simple but profound: "Don't wait. You're worth it."

For healthcare professionals, executives facing mergers or transitions, and any woman who recognizes herself in reactive workplace patterns, Patti's story offers both hope and a practical roadmap to transformation.

In this powerful client success story, Coach Mo interviews Elisa, a talented engineer who went from being shot down for a raise after 22 years of loyal service to landing her dream job with a 60% salary increase—all within 12 weeks of soul-powered coaching.

Elisa's transformation began at her lowest point. After thoroughly researching comparable salaries and documenting her extensive contributions, she formally requested a promotion and raise on a Thursday morning. By Thursday afternoon, her request was completely rejected without consideration. This devastating blow left her depressed, physically unwell, and considering retirement or starting her own company—anything to escape the soul-crushing environment where her value wasn't recognized.

Through Coach Mo's 12-week Soul Powered Career Coaching program, Elisa reconnected with her authentic power and learned to advocate for herself strategically. The transformation was remarkable: within weeks of optimizing her LinkedIn profile, recruiters were reaching out. She went from hiding her light to confidently articulating her worth in interviews, ultimately receiving multiple job offers.

But this isn't just a story about salary negotiation. Elisa's journey reveals the deeper truth about why talented women stay stuck in undervalued positions. As an introverted engineer who believed that working hard and keeping her head down would eventually be rewarded, she learned that visibility, strategic self-advocacy, and understanding her true worth were essential skills missing from her toolkit.

The interview explores how soul-level coaching addressed not just tactical job search skills, but the foundational confidence and self-worth issues that had kept Elisa accepting less than she deserved. Her new role isn't just higher-paying—she's now leading a technical team, working on projects that align with her values, and finally feels excited to go to work each day.

For any professional woman who's been told to be patient, work harder, or wait their turn, Elisa's story demonstrates that investing in yourself and your advancement isn't selfish—it's essential.

In this inspiring story, Coach Mo interviews Shruti, a Senior Director at Microsoft who transformed from an invisible hard worker to a recognized leader after investing in herself through soul powered coaching. Despite her impressive credentials—19 years at Microsoft, a Master's in Computer Science, and technical expertise—Shruti felt "floating" and directionless in her career advancement.

Shruti's story reveals the hidden trap that keeps many high-achieving women stuck: the cultural conditioning that says "work hard and you'll be recognized." As an immigrant woman who moved to the US in her early twenties, she brought the mindset that technical excellence alone would create career success. What she discovered through coaching was that the people getting promoted were doing much more than just hard work—they were building their brand, managing perceptions, and articulating their value strategically.

Through Coach Mo's 12-week Soul Powered Career Coaching program and advanced communication training, Shruti learned to shift from being seen as "just a hard worker" to being recognized as someone with promotion potential. Within three months of completing the program, she received a promotion, with colleagues noting she was "on fire" and leadership seeing her in an entirely different light.

The conversation explores the unique challenges faced by women of color in corporate environments, the importance of building strategic relationships beyond technical competence, and how soul-level transformation creates ripple effects that benefit families, teams, and entire organizations. Shruti's insights about not waiting for recognition and prioritizing self-investment offer powerful guidance for any professional woman ready to move beyond the hard work trap.

This episode demonstrates that career advancement isn't just about what you do—it's about who you become and how you're perceived. For technical women, immigrant professionals, and anyone feeling stuck despite their competence, Shruti's journey provides the roadmap to visibility, recognition, and authentic power.
