Make work suck less.
Hi there! I’m Cassandra.
I’m a mom, certified career coach, ex-spy, and corporate culture leader. I’m on a mission to Make Work Suck Less.
I'm driven to make work suck less by helping women break the burnout cycle, pivot with purpose, and thrive in their careers. I believe everyone deserves to wake up excited and energized for the day. Together, let's find the perspective you need to work, create, and build from a place of joy, not dread.

Join Declassified: The Fed > Corporate Career Pivot
This 5-week small group coaching program will prepare you for the career transition from federal service to corporate leader. Most career advice out there wasn't built for you. It doesn't speak clearance, GS scale, or NDAs. If you're making this transition under stress, on a deadline, or with zero roadmap--you don't have to do it alone. You didn't plan to leave. Let's figure out what's next.
At the end of five weeks, you’ll…
-
Translate your experience without shrinking it
Learn how to turn your government career into a private sector asset.
You’ll stop hiding behind titles and start telling a story that actually lands—one that recruiters understand and value (even if your work was sensitive, complex, or classified). -
Make the right connections without feeling icky
You’ll get templates, scripts, and a strategy that feels human.
We’ll show you how to build a network that opens doors, not drains energy. It’s not about begging—it’s about being visible, clear, and intentional. -
Leave with a strategy, not just a resume
By the end, you’ll have clarity, confidence, and momentum.
This isn’t a webinar. You’ll walk away with a refreshed LinkedIn, a personalized job target list, a recruiter-ready resume, and a plan to move forward—fast.
FAQs
-
Absolutely. This program was built specifically for federal professionals navigating this exact transition.
You’ll get step-by-step tools to reframe your experience, speak in private-sector language, and build a plan that actually works—whether you're ready to pivot now or just starting to explore.
-
You only need a few hours per week to make meaningful progress.
Each week includes a 5-min video, simple tools you can use on your own time, and a 1-hour group call (that will be recorded if you miss it). This is built for real life. Progress over perfection—always.
-
We’re limiting the cohort to 12 participants to hold space for meaningful conversations and individual support.
-
This isn’t a course you’ll forget about. It’s a real-time coaching container with personalized support, community, and tools that will serve you far beyond your next job search.
For less than the cost of a single 1:1 coaching package, you’ll get resume tools, LinkedIn strategy, interview prep, job targeting frameworks, and expert eyes on your progress every step of the way.

What readers are saying…
the journal I’ve been looking for
I've tried and failed at journaling so many times, but I already feel so seen in the opening pages of this one "Missing a day isn't failure" and "You are working towards progress, not perfection" make me so excited to use the journal. I love her focus on intentions instead of resolutions, her prompts are approachable (and useful). I will buy this journal over and over!
—Lizzie
a game changer!
I love a good journal, but the 'You Got This' journal has simplified the way I approach the New Year in such a beautiful way. I needed a journal that not only kept me accountable, but helped me center into what I truly needed to focus on. It starts with the power of words and walks you through goal setting with way more intention.
I can't wait to see what I've accomplished in six months by using this gem! I LOVE IT!

Client testimonials
“I approached Cassandra for help navigating work and purpose. Cassandra helped me distill my values, skills and passion. This gave me a lot of clarity on finding ways to maximize that in my day to day job, as well as look for things that would allow me to double down on finding joy in what I do. I am a pragmatist, so aiming for joy was not top of mind. However, I have found it to make a difference in how I experience my work and my off work activities. I loved working with Cassandra because she approached our conversations in a style that spoke to me: structured, pragmatic, and goal oriented. She also thoughtfully pushed back on some of my assumptions, which helped me reframe my own thinking. I highly recommend working with Cassandra if you want to be more intentional about what you get out of work as an experience, also if you are looking for someone to not just echo your thinking but to help you identify gaps in it so you can address them. Cassandra is also just a really interesting and very nice person to chat with!”
Marlyn, Senior Manager in Tech

I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking impactful career coaching and resume support.”
