About Rachel Gaddis, Career Coach for Mid-Career Women
Hi, I’m Rachel. I help mid-career women who are tired of tolerating “fine” and ready for something far more meaningful to find jobs they actually like.
If you’ve ever looked at your life and thought, “This isn’t how it was supposed to feel,” you’re not alone - and there's nothing wrong with you (I don't care what your sixth-grade Social Studies teacher said!). You’re just in the middle of a pivot. And that pivot needs support, not generic hustle culture bullsh*t.
That’s where I come in.
Who I Help
I work with:
GenX / mid-career women who are sick of doing too much for too little
Midlife professionals feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or “off track”
Women who’ve outgrown their current careers and want something better - but have no clue where to start
Whether you’re changing industries, starting over, or carving out your first truly YOU-shaped career path, my coaching is custom-tailored to for your energy and your season of life (even if right now it feels less like a season and more like a pilot episode no one's ever gonna see).
What I Do
As a professional career coach with a creative, neurodivergent brain myself, I help my clients ditch burnout and start fresh.
Together, we work on:
- Strategy with actual support - not just cheesy motivational posters
Skills, values, and purpose discovery
Career strategy with actual support - not just cheesy motivational posters
Executive function coaching for real-life follow-through
You’re not here for a pep talk. You’re here for a plan.

- What’s actually working (and what’s not)

How I Got Here
Before coaching, I cycled through careers that checked the boxes but didn’t fit the soul: Marketing, editing, consulting, tech. I know what it’s like to feel overqualified, underwhelmed, and out of sync with what the world expects.
Eventually, I stopped trying to “fix” my brain and started building my work around it. That shift changed everything - and now I help other women do the same.
This is your permission slip to stop settling and start designing a career that actually fits your life.
Rachel helped me to think through my motivations, fears, best and worst case scenarios, and to gather the confidence I needed to pull the trigger on my plan of leaving the corporate world.I left that conversation with actionable next steps that helped put my most significant life shift into motion.

Rachel guided me to be more curious about a path that I loved the most and felt most authentic to who I am. Some kind of magic happened in that first coaching session where I walked away and filled a notebook with ideas. We then pivoted a few times and came at ideas and a practical program of action to move me down that path.

Things You Might Not Expect (But Totally Make Sense)
- I’m medically required to have 2 cups of coffee every day. I have a doctor's note. I swear.
I’ve had at least six careers and zero regrets. Marketing, publishing, copywriting, teaching, consulting, and that one brief flirtation with professional organizing (it didn’t stick, but my closet is still grateful).
My idea of planning includes whiteboards, colorful pens, three digital calendars I forget to check, and exactly five notebooks, most of which I can never find when I need them.
I’m professionally anti-hustle. You can have ambition and rest. You can build something meaningful without “grinding” (ew). You’re not lazy - your brain just doesn’t thrive in burnout culture.
I believe clarity beats confidence. You don’t need to have it all figured out to move forward. You just need to know enough so that you can move closer to what lights you up, and further away from anything that's making you feel stuck.
