You’ve built a successful career, but the way you’re working is starting to cost too much. You may be carrying more than is yours to hold, overthinking your next move, preparing for an important career conversation, or realizing that the habits that once helped you succeed are now draining your energy.
I help thoughtful, capable professionals, especially women in tech and people working across cultures, rethink success before running on fumes becomes their normal. Together, we step back, untangle what is really happening, and choose a clearer, more sustainable way forward.
At some point, questions begin to appear.
• Why am I this exhausted if everything is going well?
• Why does this no longer feel sustainable?
• How long can I keep going like this?
Most people don’t act on these questions immediately. They keep pushing through for a while longer.
If you recognize this, it may be time to talk.
We take a step back and look at what is really happening.
✔ What is draining your energy?
✔ What you are continuing out of habit rather than choice?
✔ What you are tolerating that no longer makes sense?
✔ What would need to change for things to feel sustainable again?
This is often easier to see clearly in conversation.

I’m Maryla. Based in Basel and working internationally, I spent many years believing that success meant pushing harder even when I was running on fumes.
Eventually I realized that the habits that helped me succeed were also the ones exhausting me.
Today I work with thoughtful, capable professionals, especially women in tech and people working across cultures who recognize that same moment and want to rethink their success.
I coach in English, French, and Swedish.
