Hi, I’m Chelsey Kramer.
I’m a purpose-driven coach helping ambitious women stop surviving & start thriving—through clarity, strategy, and aligned action.
Let’s ditch burnout and break the cycle of overwork so you can thrive in a career—and life—you love.
You’ve tried late nights, longer hours, and “pushing through.” Now it’s time to try something that actually works.
You want to build a thriving career that honors your whole life. And you’d love to feel confident walking into meetings and have clarity on your next big move.
But, even though you’ve worked overtime, hit the gym, and tried to “power through”, it’s just not happening. Between the constant pressure to perform and the overwhelming mental load of trying to keep it all together, you feel burned out, discouraged, and stuck.
“Is this really all there is? What am I doing wrong?”
That’s where I come in.
We’re not just working on your career—we’re building a life you wake up excited for.
Burnout was my wake-up call.
I’ve been exactly where you are—stuck in the “dream job” I worked so hard for, feeling like I should be grateful… while quietly falling apart inside.
I was top of my class, earned my master’s in record time, and fast-tracked into a consulting role at a Fortune 500 company. From the outside? It looked like success.
But on the inside? I was drowning in 60–80 hour weeks, chasing approval, and slowly losing myself to stress, anxiety, and exhaustion.
Then came the breaking point.
I still remember the exact moment. I was sitting on my bedroom floor after another brutal week—laptop open, inbox overflowing, tears falling.
I was exhausted, anxious, and completely disconnected from my own life. My body was breaking down, my relationships were slipping away, and I kept thinking, “This is success?”
That was the turning point.
I paused. I got honest. I reassessed my values and redefined success—not by titles or expectations, but by what actually mattered to me: peace, purpose, and people.
I started saying “no.” I set boundaries. I stopped over-functioning for systems that were never built with me in mind.
How walking away saved my life.
The biggest surprise? I didn’t lose everything I worked for—I gained everything I was missing.
Today, I still lead. I still thrive. But now I do it on my terms—with clarity, confidence, and a whole lot more joy. I spend my evenings playing tennis, planning adventures with my husband, and actually living my life—not just recovering from it.
And now, I help other high-achieving women and driven professionals do the same.
I created Chelsey Kramer Coaching and built the Design & Thrive Roadmap because I know what it’s like to do everything “right” and still feel stuck, undervalued, and overwhelmed.
You don’t need to hustle harder. You need support, clarity, and a strategy that honors your real life—not just your resume.
This work isn’t just my job—it’s my calling.
Let’s build the career—and life—you actually want.
I take a different approach to career coaching.
Purpose
I believe career clarity is built on a strong foundation of self-awareness and purpose.
Peace
I believe success without peace isn’t success at all.
Intentional Change
I believe burnout is not a badge of honor—it’s a signal that something needs to change.
