    What my clients have to say…



    “I would in particular recommend Pooja to this specific phenotype of high achievers. 



    We put a lot of pressure on ourselves and the outside world might never understand that our lives are not as perfect as they seem, or that we struggle as much as we do. 



    I think that phenotype in particular, would benefit a ton from working with Pooja specifically.”

    What my clients have to say…



    “Pooja strikes a really strong balance between troubleshooting immediate problems but at the same time, really tying in that there are tools I need to solve all my problems. 



    And that even though a problem I run into this week is different from a problem I run into next week, you can use the same frameworks to work your way out of it.Now, I feel like I have a nice tool chest of frameworks and habits that I can rely on that not just change my work life, but also my personal life too.”

    What my clients have to say…



    “Even in our first consultation, Pooja will hear me go on and on about various topics and then she’ll be able to, in one sentence, say something that gets me unstuck or feels like it is the crux of the whole cobweb of stuff that's in my head. I think that's very rare and very special.”

    What my clients have to say…



    “If you're just starting out, you should learn this toolkit with an expert like Pooja. 



    Now I'm able to open up a Google Doc and make good progress on my own. 



    But if you want to do it the right way, you really should have someone listening to what you're saying, guiding you, and course-correcting you.”

    What my clients have to say…



    “I realized that you can always create a space of abundance, even when there's scarcity.

    “Everything we talked about was actionable. 



    It never felt like there was something fuzzy where I walked away and had to sort of wonder how this is ever going to impact my life. 



    At the end of each session, it was very clear what I was going to go away and do differently the next day.”
