How we’d actually work
Most coaching is weekly. You show up for an hour, talk through what’s on your mind, leave with something to sit with, come back the next week.
But I don’t really work that way at the start. When something’s been stuck for years, weekly is too sparse — the emotional blocks build back up between sessions, the through-line slips, and a lot of what surfaces in a session needs the next session to actually land. The shape that moves a stuck thing is more concentrated than that.
The shape
A one- or two-week sprint to start, then lighter check-ins for as long as it’s useful.
During the sprint: roughly an hour live each day, plus async work between. I’m distilling what came up in writing, sketching diagrams, mapping the through-line, picking the next thread before we sit down again. End of most days you’ll get a written summary of where we got to and what to sit with overnight.
After the sprint: weekly check-ins, plus a thread that stays open between us. Some days you’ll hit a block and message me. Some days something high-stakes is happening — when Ediya was filming for three days mid-engagement, I was around the whole time — and I just stay close to it. The cadence breathes around what the work actually needs.
Why daily, why async
Two things make this shape do what the weekly version can’t.
First — daily means the aversion doesn’t have time to reset. Most stuck things aren’t an information problem; it’s that the thought itself feels too aversive to sit with, so you slide off it before it forms. A week of silence is plenty of time to slide all the way back. A day isn’t.
Second — the async work is the part most coaches don’t do. Between sessions I’m thinking about your situation in writing. Distilling. Mapping. Building the next session’s agenda from threads that surfaced but didn’t get explored. The sessions are nodes in a longer process, not standalone hours. And the map of what you’re actually working with keeps getting richer — the kind of thing Ediya described as “I couldn’t find this for three years.”
Pricing
Two shapes, two prices.
Sprint week — $500 (sliding scale $250–$750)
Standard week — $250 (sliding scale $150–$400)
Most engagements start with a sprint week (sometimes two), then taper to standard for as long as it’s useful — by which point you should be moving without me.
One question worth sitting with: is the thing you’re trying to unblock worth $1,000–$1,500 to actually finish? If the answer is “yes, obviously” — that’s the right shape.
Sliding scale’s real. If the work matters and the lowest still doesn’t fit, say so — there’s usually room to figure something out.
Lighter shapes
Not everyone’s at the same stage. If your work is earlier — you’re still finding your shape, still pre-launch, not yet monetising — a weekly cadence with longer async tails between sessions can work. It’s lighter, more accessible, and a real shape in its own right.
(For people whose work is already running, I’d usually recommend the sprint — that’s where the leverage is.)
One hour, no commitment. Just to see if this is the work you’ve been looking for.
