Yes. In addition to our four coaching and life management programs, we offer Single Sessions — individual 60-minute coaching sessions that you can book and pay for directly, without enrolling in a full program.

Single sessions are a good fit if you’re not ready to commit to a full program, if you’re a returning client who wants a one-time check-in, or if you have a specific situation you want to work through in one focused conversation.

You can learn more and book a session on the Single Sessions page.

Think of a coach the way you'd think of an athletic coach — someone who helps you get perspective, sharpen your focus, and actually improve your game. Life coaching works the same way. It's for people who are functioning well but want more — more clarity, more direction, more support getting from where they are to where they want to be.

Therapy goes deeper into clinical territory: mental health diagnoses, trauma, and psychological treatment. It's a licensed clinical service.

Coaching and therapy serve different purposes, and I won't practice outside the scope of coaching through your work with The Mom Manager Coach.

What makes The Mom Manager Coach different is that coaching here doesn't stop at the conversation. Depending on your tier, I'm also working alongside you the way a hands-on assistant would — researching options, building systems, and helping you execute, not just reflect. You get a coach and a doer in one.

If clinical concerns come up during our work together, I'll refer you to a licensed therapist — I keep a referral list for exactly that reason. Many clients work with both a coach and a therapist at the same time, and I fully support that.

If you’d like to work with Sharlene in a therapeutic capacity, you may do so through her clinical sites, which are separate from The Mom Manager Coach. Use the contact page to speak with her about this option.

If you choose to seek Sharlene as a therapist, the therapy relationship and the coaching relationship cannot exist at the same time, with the same person. If you are a client of The Mom Manager Coach, you may not also see Sharlene for therapy — and vice versa. This boundary exists to protect the integrity of both relationships and is a standard ethical requirement in clinical practice.

If you are currently a Mom Manager client and would like to pursue therapy, Sharlene can provide a referral to another therapist, or you are welcome to seek one on your own. The Mom Manager Coach services can continue uninterrupted alongside a therapeutic relationship with a different provider.

No. The Mom Manager primarily serves working mothers, and most of our programs are built with that experience at the center — but you do not have to be a mother to work with us.

The Balanced Blueprint is designed for all working parents, including fathers, single parents, and non-binary parents. Her Next Chapter is open to any professional navigating burnout or career transition, regardless of parenting status.

We can figure that out together during your free consultation call.

It’s common to feel like your situation touches more than one program — you’re burned out at work and overwhelmed at home, or you just had a baby and you’re also thinking about dating again. Life doesn’t sort itself into neat categories, and the programs aren’t meant to be rigid boxes.

During the consultation, we’ll talk through what’s actually going on in your life and I’ll recommend the program and tier that fits best. If your situation genuinely spans multiple programs, we’ll figure out the right starting point together. You don’t need to have it sorted before you reach out.

It depends on what you're looking for.

If you're interested in one of our programs — The Balanced Blueprint, She Dates Too, Baby & She, or Her Next Chapter — the first step is a free 30-minute consultation call. There's no pressure and no pitch — it's a real conversation where we talk through what's going on in your life, what you're looking for, and whether The Mom Manager is the right fit. If it is, I'll recommend a program and tier based on what you've shared. You'll receive a coaching agreement to review and sign, and once payment is complete, we schedule your first session.

If you're interested in a Single Session, no consultation is needed. Just choose a time, pay at booking, and show up. It's that simple.

Program length varies by program and tier, generally ranging from 4 to 16 weeks. Lower tiers are shorter and more focused; higher tiers are longer and more comprehensive. The exact timeline for your program will be confirmed during the consultation and outlined in your coaching agreement.

In terms of weekly time commitment: sessions are typically 60 minutes and held weekly or bi-weekly depending on your tier. Outside of sessions, you’ll complete an intake assessment before your first session and may have light action items between sessions — but the heavy lifting is done with me, not assigned as homework you have to figure out on your own.

If you’re at a Tier 4 or 5, you’ll also have messaging access Monday through Friday for real-time support between sessions. That’s designed to keep you moving without waiting a week to get unstuck — not to add more to your plate.

The honest answer is: this is designed for people who are already overwhelmed. The program is built to reduce your load, not add to it.

Most coaches give you insight and accountability. Most consultants give you a to-do list. The Mom Manager gives you both — in one program, with one person who holds the whole picture of your life.

Our Advice + Action model means we don’t just help you figure out what to do. We help you do it. Depending on your tier, that looks like researching childcare options, building a household system, updating your resume, vetting babysitters, drafting a return-to-work plan, or building a dating calendar that actually fits around your kids’ schedule.

I’m also a Certified Professional Life Coach with a clinical background — currently pursuing licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist. That means the emotional work we do together is grounded in more than good intentions. And because I’m a working mother myself, I’m not coaching you from theory. I’m coaching you from experience.

The easiest way to reach me is through the Contact page on this site.

If you’re ready to get started, the fastest path is booking a free consultation — that’s where we’ll have a real conversation and I can answer any questions specific to your situation.

Single sessions are available at a flat rate.

Every program is available in five tiers, and pricing varies by program and tier based on scope, timeline, and the level of life management support included.

Tiers 1 and 2 are coaching-only. Tiers 3, 4, and 5 add hands-on life management support — research, system-building, and practical deliverables built alongside you. The higher the tier, the more involved I am in the execution, not just the coaching.

Programs are priced as a flat investment per program, not a monthly subscription. Payment is due before your first session, and installment options are available.

Direct. Warm. Empathetic. No fluff, no toxic positivity, no pretending things are fine when they’re not.

I’ll tell you the truth — delivered with care, but still the truth. If something isn’t working, we’ll name it. If you’re avoiding something, I’ll notice. If you need a reality check alongside the encouragement, you’ll get both.

Sessions are held virtually via Google Meet (in-person rates available), typically weekly or bi-weekly depending on your tier. Higher tiers include messaging access Monday through Friday for real-time support between sessions, so you’re not waiting a week to get unstuck.

Every program starts with a 90-minute intake session where we go deep on your assessment, set goals, and build the foundation for everything that follows. From there, the work is specific to you — your life, your goals, your timeline.

The goal isn’t to make you dependent on coaching. It’s to build something sustainable post-coaching — systems, mindset shifts, and a plan you can actually maintain. Most programs include a transition process so you leave with more than a memory of good conversations.
