Feel Like You’ve Done Everything "Right" ... But It's Not Enough?

• You’re successful on paper, but inside, you’re exhausted and unsure what’s next
• You’re starting to freak out about how long you’ll have to keep going as-is to get to that next thing (the promotion, the vacation home, the marriage proposal, the body size) that will surely make you feel better (it won’t)
• You’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, and feel like you know what you’re “supposed” to do but don’t know why you’re not doing it
• You show up for everyone else, but can’t seem to carve out meaningful space for yourself (crying in your car in the Whole Foods parking lot after SoulCycle doesn’t count)
• You crave change… but the idea of disrupting your day-to-day also feels terrifying (people will be Mad At Me™)
  

If any of that hits home, you’re not alone. For the last decade I’ve worked with brilliant women to help them rethink how they think so they can actually live a life that feels real and authentic to them.

I’m Emily Shutt – cognitive behavioral coach, writer, speaker, and someone who knows what it’s like to check all the boxes, be the best, rise through the ranks, stand out but not too much, achieve all the things, and continually stuff down this nagging question: why doesn’t this feel better?

Clarity is rarely a lightning-bolt moment; it’s almost always the result of a series of decisions and experiments, and the willingness to try and fail. That’s not very Instagrammable but it’s the truth.

I don’t have all the answers, but I know how to ask the right questions. I believe we almost always already know what we want, but have been taught to believe it’s not an option for us. You are capable of so much more than you realize, and you’re allowed to want to see what that actually is.

I am a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with the International Coaching Federation, and a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) in partnership with the National Board of Medical Examiners. I have over a decade of experience working with hundreds of smart, funny and talented clients who inspire me every day. I specialize in the areas of money, relationships, and wellbeing, but I am well-equipped to explore alongside you whatever’s on your mind.

When I’m not working with clients, I’m either taking care of adoptable pups at the shelter (there is an alternate timeline version of me who just lives on a ranch in Montana with, like, 93 rescue dogs), playing Stardew Valley (yes, I’ve achieved Perfection, and thank you, it is a big deal), or analyzing Bob’s Burgers deep cuts.

“Working with Emily has been a transformative experience. Her guidance helped me gain clarity and confidence in my career path, and my team noticed the difference.”

“Emily’s coaching sessions were a game-changer for me. I learned to prioritize my goals and achieve a work-life balance I never thought possible.”

“Emily is amazing! I feel so much stronger in the decisions I am making as a new leader knowing I have her to help me navigate all of the thoughts and feelings that come with this new territory.”

“Emily is an awesome coach and has helped me work through several challenges that I otherwise would have been stuck on much longer. Her expertise is incredible and it’s very motivating to me to have goals/projects/etc. to complete between sessions.”

“Emily is an incredible coach. With her support, I reached major personal goals, built better routines, and learned how to actually prioritize my own needs while staying flexible and responsive to the needs of my family. Her encouragement, tools, and realistic approach made all the difference.”

“Right away, Emily made me feel so comfortable and I could talk to her about anything! She had great questions and was able to help me come up with my own ideas for how to work towards my goals. Such a relief to have someone actually listen and not just try to give advice.”
