BURNOUT AND EXECUTIVE COACHING FOR PROFESSIONAL WOMEN

Ready to earn $100K more and get 10 hours of your life back each week?

I work with professional women and business owners who want MORE. More promotions, more money, more time off, more fun and more respect, without quitting, downshifting or blowing up their career.

START HERE

AS SEEN ON:

I'm Lauren Baptiste

I'm a former CPA and consultant. I spent 13 years in the billable-hour world, so I know what nonstop deadlines and the pressure to always be "on" really cost. It isn't only stress. It quietly wears down your performance, your clarity and your confidence, and then it follows you home.

That's what I fix in 1:1 coaching, at work and in the life that work keeps bleeding into. Think of me as your burnout coach and executive coach in one. If you run your own firm or business, I'm the board of directors you never had.

MY STORY

THERE'S A PART OF YOU THAT KNOWS IT SHOULD BE BETTER.

With me as your burnout coach, you’ll achieve a life where you can:

☑️ Advance your career and enjoy your life without feeling like you have to choose between the two.⁠
☑️ Enjoy your Monday through Friday routine instead of feeling anxious and depleted all week long.⁠
☑️ Work less and receive praise at work for providing better recommendations and solutions.⁠
☑️ Be present with your kids at dinner, even after a long day in the office.⁠
☑️ Fully disconnect from work for an entire week to enjoy a spa getaway in Italy.⁠
☑️ Keep your clients out of jail and also get a full night’s sleep.⁠
☑️ Learn how to relax and use your downtime (knowing it’s just as important as your work).⁠
☑️ Take more vacations in the upcoming year than in the previous five years combined.⁠
☑️ Lead your team without carrying every decision home with you.
☑️ Ask for the promotion or the raise with a clear story of your impact.

☑️ And so much more!

Burnout may have brought you here, but it doesn’t have to define you anymore.

$100K+ more revenue.⁠
$80K less in annual expenses.⁠
AND a plan for a 3-day workweek. 🔥⁠
⁠
That’s what Bethany created in less than 18 months.⁠
⁠
When we started working together, she owned an accounting + consulting firm, but everyone else was dictating how she ran it.⁠
⁠
Her biggest client hadn’t gotten a meaningful rate increase in years.⁠
⁠
She was spending about $80K a year on an employee she was terrified she couldn’t operate without.⁠
⁠
And she was working 6–7 days a week.⁠
⁠
She’d built a business where SHE was still the solution to everything. Even finding time to make the changes felt hard when the work never stopped coming.⁠
⁠
So we got specific about what needed to change.⁠
⁠
1. She raised her rates.⁠
2. Made the staffing decision she’d been putting off.⁠
3. Standardized her processes.⁠
4. Stopped taking new clients without contracts + automatic payments.⁠
⁠
One longstanding client now brings in about $8K MORE per month.⁠
⁠
She’s saving about $80K a year in payroll.⁠
⁠
And after becoming a mom, she’s planning a 3-day workweek so she can spend the other two days with her son.⁠
⁠
This is the kind of work we do inside Freedom. We look at how your business is running, what keeps landing on your plate, and the decisions that will get you closer to the life you wanted when you started it.⁠
⁠
You built the business. You’re allowed to rebuild how it functions.⁠
⁠
If your business is making money but still needs way too much of YOU, start with my free CEO Scorecard.⁠
⁠
You’ll look at where money is leaking, what keeps you in the weeds, your pipeline, and your CEO identity. Then choose what you’re changing first.⁠
⁠
Get it through the link in my bio.

Because November 1st means Thanksgiving, which means Christmas, which means 2027.

I get my groceries delivered.⁠
⁠
Unless it's a special occasion where I want to specifically pick something out myself, you’re almost never find me grocery shopping.⁠
⁠
Could I do it? Of course.⁠
⁠
I also know there are other ways I want to spend that time.⁠
⁠
I brought this up in my recent webinar because I hear the same thing from business owners about their work. ⁠
⁠
You know how you like it done. ⁠
You have a system, but ⁠
Explaining it to someone else feels harder than doing it yourself.⁠
⁠
So you keep it. Then you keep the next thing. And somehow, your whole week is full of things you technically COULD hand off but don't. 🫤⁠
⁠
With year-end deadlines, holiday plans, and daylight disappearing before you’ve finished your workday, be a little more protective of your time.⁠
⁠
What’s something you’ve handed off that you wish you’d stopped doing sooner? Tell me in the comments below!

You don’t have to say NO to set a boundary. 👀

It’s an important distinction you can’t overlook.

Yes, sometimes you CAN’T turn down the client, the deadline or the additional work your boss just handed you.

But that doesn’t mean your only option is to say YES and squeeze it into an already overflowing calendar.

Being dependable shouldn’t mean being endlessly available.

Yet so many high performers are afraid that setting boundaries will make them look less committed, less capable or less deserving of the next promotion.

So they keep saying yes. And their personal lives pay the price…

This was at the heart of our conversation during the AICPA EPICenter webcast, “Boundaries Before Burnout: Saying No with Confidence.”

The questions from attendees made one thing VERY clear:

👏🏼You want to set boundaries. You just don’t want to jeopardize your career in the process.👏🏼

And with the holidays, year-end deadlines + another busy season approaching, NOW is the time to change that.

🔥 I shared a simple boundary-setting formula during the panel that helps you advocate for your capacity WITHOUT damaging your professional relationships.

DM me “BOUNDARIES” and I’ll send it to you.

Because you shouldn’t have to choose between being successful at work AND having a life outside of it.🎉

Hi, I’m Lauren! 🙋🏻‍♀️

I’m a corporate burnout turned executive coach. I help ambitious professionals make more money, get more time back + advance their careers without sacrificing their lives in the process.

Follow me for practical strategies to work differently AND live better.🔔

I built my career believing success required sacrifice. Now I make a living proving it doesn’t. 🔥

So whether you’re new here or you’ve been following along forever... hi. :)

🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m Lauren Baptiste.

Ex-Big 4 Senior Manager turned burnout coach, speaker, entrepreneur + most recently... mama.

I help ambitious professionals make more money, get promoted AND get more of their life back.

Because I don't believe your career should require you to choose between being wildly successful and actually enjoying the life you're working so hard to build.

ABOUT ME:

✔️ I spent 13+ years in Big 4 before burnout landed me in the ER and completely changed the trajectory of my career.

✔️ For the nearly 10 years, I've coached high-performing professionals through promotions, raises, layoffs, difficult conversations and the everyday moments that determine what happens next.

✔️ My clients earn $100K+ more, get promoted, reclaim 10+ hours a week, build more profitable businesses, take sabbaticals and learn how to actually close the laptop while on vacation.

✔️ I created TextLauren so you can now have access to my coaching methodology right when you need it. Like five minutes before meeting with your boss to ask for a raise. Or at 9:47pm when you're debating whether to answer that email. 😉

✔️ I also coach a small number of clients privately through Freedom, my signature 1:1 coaching program and the deepest way to work with me.

Outside of work?

I'm a wife + mom who LOVES travel, good food, questioning the way we're “supposed” to do things, and proving that success and a really fun life don't have to compete.

Around here, expect real client wins, career conversations we probably should be having more often, behind-the-scenes of business + motherhood, and the occasional loving kick in the ass. 👠💥

Now your turn: What do we have in common? ⤵️⤵️⤵️

And if the answer is absolutely nothing 🤣, tell me something interesting about you.

You don't need another productivity hack. You need someone in your corner who tells you it's okay to close the laptop.

That's why I built TextLauren. An executive coach in your pocket, right when you need one, without booking a session three weeks out.

Text me. Then go outside. 💛

Your promotion problem has nothing to do with your performance.

The problem?

Nobody knows you want the promotion.
Nobody knows what role you want next.
And you're waiting for your hard work to speak for you.

Stop proving yourself. Start advocating.

You don't have a time-management problem. You have 17 decisions you haven't made yet.

The meeting you should decline.
The work you should delegate.
The client you need to push back on.
The thing you're doing because “it’s faster if I do it myself.”
Your calendar isn't going to magically clear itself.

Make the decisions that clear it.

Is it burnout, or a career mismatch?

This one question will change the landscape of the working world.

How uncomfortable would you be willing to get for an extra $100K/year? 👀⁠
⁠
⁠She’d worked with this client for YEARS.⁠
She knew their business inside + out.⁠
She was keeping an entire department afloat.⁠
⁠
And she was massively undercharging them.⁠
⁠
Why?⁠
⁠
Because somewhere along the way, she started believing she needed them more than they needed HER.⁠
⁠
So in one coaching session, we put the hours + her value into numbers.⁠
⁠
Her entire perspective changed.⁠
⁠
She raised her rates.⁠
⁠
Today?⁠
⁠
That ONE client brings in ~$8K MORE per month, AND she’s spending LESS time servicing them.⁠
⁠
She didn’t suddenly become more valuable.⁠
⁠
➡️ She finally stopped charging like she wasn’t.⁠
⁠
You don’t need to prove your value before asking for more.⁠
⁠
You need to recognize the value that’s already there.⁠
⁠
Are you still charging, earning or operating like an older version of yourself? Do the math: How much are you losing each year by not charging your worth? 😬🔥

You don't have to choose between an ambitious career and being home for story time.

I love being a working mom. Not because it's easy, and definitely not because I'm trying to prove something.

I love that my daughter gets to watch me build something meaningful. That she'll grow up knowing women can lead, create wealth, and run companies while still showing up for bedtime. And that she sees me happy doing all of it.

What I don't love is the expectation that working moms should be exhausted all the time. That loving your career means neglecting your family, or that prioritizing your family means you aren't ambitious enough.

That's a lie.

The goal was never to choose one. It's to stop working in a way that burns you out and steals these precious years.

You can be ambitious AND present.
You can build success without running on fumes.

My client’s 7-week sabbatical started with one tiny decision:

She booked the trip. ✈️

Before it was approved.
Before she knew exactly how she’d take that much time off.
Before she knew how everything at work would get covered.

She and a friend had been talking about taking a one-week trip together.

Instead of letting it become another “Wouldn’t that be nice someday?”...

She put it on the calendar.

That ONE week eventually turned into a SEVEN-WEEK sabbatical traveling across the U.S. with her husband + two kids. 🔥

And I think there’s a much bigger lesson here:

Stop building your entire life around what’s convenient for work.

Decide what you want, THEN figure out how work fits around it.

That changed the way she approached the conversation, too.

Not: “Can I take this time?”

But: “Here’s what I’m planning. Let’s figure out how to make it work.”

That’s advocacy.

And sometimes it starts BEFORE you have any idea how you’re going to pull it off.

What would you put on the calendar TODAY if you stopped waiting for permission? 👇🏼

P.S. Have a sabbatical benefit sitting in your employee handbook that you can’t imagine actually using? Message me. Let’s figure out how you could. 🔥

Your team logs off, and your day finally gets quiet enough to start. (Happy weekend y'all 🙃)

Now you can review the file, answer the client, and fix the thing you meant to explain yesterday but did yourself.

You built a team where everyone can have a life. You're paying for it with yours.

Every time you jump in because it's faster, the work gets done, but the next version of that problem still comes back to you. Meanwhile, the projects that would make the firm easier to run keep sliding down the list.

You change that pattern one piece of work at a time.

Your company is not coming to save you. They never will.

Be honest: How long have you been waiting for them to:

Notice how hard you’re working?
Give you the raise?
Finally promote you?
Hire enough people so you’re not doing three jobs?

And then performance reviews come around: “You had an incredible year, but…”

🙄

You cannot outsource your career to your company.

Ask for the raise.
Make your promotion goals VERY clear.
Ask for more resources.
Set the boundary.
Or decide it’s time to leave.

My Freedom clients stop waiting for work to magically get better.

They decide what they want and start making moves to get it. 🔥

What are you waiting for your company to give you that you haven’t actually asked for? You don’t have to tell me. Just Like this post if something immediately came to mind. 👀
