Lead with Clarity.
Rise with Integrity.
Succeed without Burnout.

"You can be powerful and well. Let me show you how to lead from alignment.”
–Yana Carstens

If you identify as one of these humans...

  • High-achieving leader

  • CEO, Director, or rising VP

  • Leaders in tech, product, engineering, or design

  • Someone who manages everything for everyone

  • Someone tired off running on pressure, or depletion

The issue is not stress, but wiring beneath it...

  • Over-functioning

  • Hyper-responsibility

  • People-pleasing

  • Fear of disappointing others

  • Perfectionism

  • Blurred or missing boundaries

  • Feeling capable… but stretched thin

You're ready to become someone who...

  • Makes clear, grounded decisions

  • Sets boundaries without guilt

  • Shows up steady & calm

  • Leads with presence & clarity

  • Stops spiraling or overthinking

  • Stays centered under pressure

  • Actually enjoys their life again

If you’re ready for aligned success that doesn't cost your soul, let’s begin.

The Truth Most Leaders Won't Say Out Loud

You can be brilliant, successful, and trusted…

and still feel exhausted by the cost of carrying everything.

Leadership isn’t supposed to feel like erosion.

It’s supposed to feel like alignment, presence, and internal authority.

Not fear. Not pressure. Not people-pleasing. Not performance-driven survival.

If you’re operating at a high level on the outside
but stretched thin on the inside…

You’re not alone.
You’re also not broken.
You’re simply misaligned.

Hi, I'm Yana Carstens

I coach leaders who know there is fulfillment and success beyond the hustle. I help them realign from the inside out — not with temporary motivation, not with surface-level tactics, and not with generic leadership tips…
but with deep clarity, presence, and embodied confidence.

Leadership begins within. Clarity is a competitive advantage. Presence is power. Alignment is freedom.

When you lead from your values, you don’t burn out, you rise.

Yana helped me define my role, delegate more, and lead with clarity. Her coaching helped me drop 15 pounds, build better habits, and show up as a stronger, more mindful leader—at work and at home. Even during a $1 million sales day, I didn’t default to firefighting. That shift speaks volumes.

Chief Operating Officer, Environmental Services Engineering

Working with Yana has helped me grow into the leader I always knew I could be—but didn’t know how to become. She didn’t just coach me—she helped me see myself and my team in an entirely new way.

Emir A., CEO Bright Technologies

I used to avoid difficult conversations. Now I know how to communicate directly without triggering defensiveness. I’m more emotionally intelligent, and my relationships with the team have improved as a result.
