When you’re no longer okay with “someday”
Imagine looking back at the end of a month and feeling good about the progress you made.
You still went after what you want, and it didn’t cost you your health or all your evenings with the people you love.
Maybe the next step is saying out loud what you want, to someone who guides you from saying it to doing it.

You might be here because...
…you are the person everyone counts on. Yet, when it comes to your own goals, the commitment to yourself is just much harder to stick to.
…you swing between pushing hard and holding back. You already know what overworking cost you, now you are unsure how to proceed differently.
…you already have an idea of what to do, yet this keeps coming back: “So why am I not doing it?”
…you’ve tried the usual. Books, podcasts, journaling, courses, maybe therapy. Yet somehow you keep hitting the same wall.
…you are tired of generic advice, and people online acting like everyone has unlimited time, energy, and perfect circumstances.
Want to keep your ambition, just without burning yourself out trying to do more all the time?
Imagine saying this about yourself ↓
“I know how to keep coming back to working on my goals when something comes up and plans fall through.”
“Decisions feel easier because I’m no longer second-guessing myself.”
“I’m actually following through, even when I’m not 100% ready.”
“I’m finally making progress.”
How we work together
What we do:
✓ Notice the invisible rules shaping your choices
✓ Treat emotions as information, not something to avoid
✓ Question thoughts that feel true but keep you going in circles
✓ Use practical tools from project management and coaching to turn what we notice into action that fits your life
What we don't do:
✗ Traditional career/business coaching (CVs, business plans)
✗ Fake pressure, or overnight transformation promises
✗ Follow other people’s timelines or definition of success
Real life is messy.
You have responsibilities, doubts, certain amount of energy, and competing priorities.
We work with that.

DOING WITHOUT OVERDOING
Four months to go after what you want for yourself, finally without pushing too hard or holding back, in a way that adjusts as your life changes.
After four months:
- You’re progressing on what you want. The goal you keep thinking about becomes something you work towards in the life you have now.
- You know when it’s enough. You can tell whether you’re pushing too hard, holding back, or on track, feeling good about your progress.
- Everything else you want stays in sight. It’s written down and structured, so it stops circling in your head while you work on the first goal.
- You can count on yourself. When a week falls apart, you come back to what matters to you without feeling bad about it, and your momentum doesn’t depend on every day being perfect.

Hi, I’m Lu
My path has never been very straightforward.
I’ve moved countries (four and counting), changed direction (as it happens when one starts working at 15), started over, and made big decisions without having everything figured out.
5 years in agile project management, making sure things got done and they got done as efficiently as possible. And for most of my life, I was the person everyone could rely on. I felt like I had to do everything and do it really well…for everyone else.
I know what it’s like to know something needs to change, but feel all over the place, lost in the process. That’s where I got stuck for over 10 years, continuously burning myself out.
Until I felt the urgent need to live my life, not just get by. It took me over a year to recover, a year of experimenting and figuring out the way forward. Ups and downs included: I’d push hard to achieve something, then stop myself out of fear of risking my health again.
I still sometimes swing between the two. The difference is that I notice it early and know what to do about it, so progress feels good.
I don’t pretend to have all the answers, and I don’t believe there is one right path, timeline, or version of success. I won’t hand you a 30-day, 10-step plan, because I don’t think one exists for your life.
But as a project manager, a coach with a year-long EMCC accredited training and a person who got out of the overworking loop, I have the tools to guide you through your own journey. Emotions, action plans and dealing with unexpected changes are all part of it. They can all show up in one session and that’s okay, we work with that.
I believe people know more than they think they do. We just get too caught in old patterns, our minds, or we are too close to the situation to see clearly.
Having someone to work through it with made a big difference for me, and I want to be that person for others.
FAQ
Is this for me if I don’t know exactly what I want yet?
Yes, as long as you know that you want to go after something.
You don’t need a clear goal or a plan to start. In Doing Without Overdoing, we begin by mapping what you want across every part of your life. We do that together.
If you’re not sure where to start at all, bring that to the free call.
Is this therapy?
While emotions, patterns, and deeper reflection may naturally come up, this is not therapy.
This work focuses on understanding what is happening currently, where you would like things to go, and finding realistic next steps in areas that matter to you.
I take my responsibility seriously. If something comes up that is outside my area of expertise, I will say so honestly and where possible, point you towards a more suitable form of help.
How will I know if this is working?
Through what starts changing in real life.
This can look like:
- finally taking action on something you have been postponing
- feeling secure about the momentum you are building
- feeling less blocked, overwhelmed, or pulled in ten directions
- feeling good about your progress, without the guilt-trips
- coming back to your own goals after things go sideways
Progress looks different for everyone, which is why we make it visible together. We set up a rating system at the start of our work.
Won’t I create dependency if I work with you?
My intention is quite the opposite.
Long-term collaboration is not about becoming more reliant on me. The idea is that, over time, you become more confident in your own thinking, and ability to handle difficult moments.
That might mean overthinking less, noticing patterns earlier, or relying less on outside opinions when making decisions.
At the same time, coaching is not something that happens to you. What changes also depends on how you engage with the process, both during and between our sessions.
What if I don’t have enough time?
Many people come because that is exactly part of the challenge.
You do not need to have more time, energy, or everything figured out before reaching out.
We work with the reality of your life, not some ideal version of it.
What's the availability for sessions?
I offer sessions Monday to Friday between 8:00 – 20:00 CET (UTC+01:00) via video call.
Even if your schedule is complicated, there is usually a way to make it work – reach out to check with me.
What if we’re not the right fit?
That is completely okay too.
That is exactly why there is a sample of how I work. You can sign up for a free 30min coaching call first.
It gives us both space to see whether we work well together and whether this approach is right for you.
