Life Coaching, Events, and Resources

I’ve navigated multiple reinventions (and I am sure there are more to come!) From being a college athlete, to earning my CPA, working in Big 4 tax, transitioning to consulting, and graduating from Wharton with my MBA my path has been full of twists and turns. But even with all the “right” boxes checked, I found myself constantly questioning what I really wanted. Life coaching helped me set boundaries, reconnect with what I value, and start building a version of success that actually felt like me. I’ve since built practices around wellness, reflection, and goal-setting that help me stay grounded while still growing. If you’re high-achieving but craving clarity and direction, I can help you untangle the chaos, reset your priorities, and map out your next chapter step by step.

As a Nepal-born, Charlottesville-raised, first-generation limited-income graduate, I’ve spent much of my life navigating spaces where there wasn’t always a clear path forward. From adapting to new cultures, to overcoming financial and academic barriers, to finding belonging in environments where I was often the “first” or “only,” I’ve built resilience and perspective that I now bring into my coaching. These experiences allow me to connect deeply with clients who are facing transitions, uncertainty, or self-doubt, and to help them move forward with clarity and confidence. Beyond my own journey, I’ve supported hundreds of students and peers as a mentor, teacher, and program founder. Whether through leading volunteer initiatives, coaching students one-on-one, or building scholarship and community programs for first-generation and limited-income students, I’ve learned how to listen deeply, ask the right questions, and guide others toward meaningful change. My approach to life coaching is empathetic, practical, and empowering — focused on helping you not just reach your goals, but also redefine what’s possible for yourself.

I switched over to a flip phone over a year ago and I have no plans of going back to a smartphone. I tried out various solutions over the years, including a lot that weren't sustainable, until I found one that really works for me. Along the way, I learned a lot about intentional tech use, habits that work, products that don't etc. I work in tech, I have to use 2FA and I travel a good amount. Trust me - intentional tech usage is possible within your circumstances. It might require some additional work or boundary setting, but you don't need to be trapped by your smartphone. I'd love to chat - book a free intro call with me and I can share anything that is helpful for your specific circumstances or tell you a bit more about what's worked for me.

I’m Ambily Jose, and what makes me uniquely qualified as a life coach is the combination of my personal insight into life transitions and my deep professional experience helping people clarify goals, navigate change, and build confidence. Through hosting Break the Barrier Podcast, I’ve spent years engaging with diverse voices, unpacking real challenges, and fostering growth through thoughtful conversation, all while helping others feel seen, heard, and supported. I bring the empathy, active listening, and emotionally intelligent communication that are at the core of effective life coaching: skills that allow clients to explore their goals and make meaningful progress. In addition to my work as a creator and connector, I’ve built a strategic career in brand and product leadership, where I’ve helped individuals and teams set clear objectives, analyze complex situations, and create actionable plans that drive results. Whether leading research and go-to-market execution in corporate environments or guiding people through personal and professional development conversations, I’ve honed the ability to ask powerful questions, break down barriers, and help others move forward with intention and confidence: all central qualities of impactful life coaching.

I help parents go from feeling overwhelmed to feeling confident balancing the various roles they play in life along with their own wellbeing. I’m an ICF certified coach who loves helping people find practical ways to align their goals, daily actions, and mindset around what matters most to them. As a Coach and Co-Founder of Together We, I help people at transition points feel less alone and more confident. Whether you’re a new parent learning how to overcome overwhelm and find balance in your life or you’re someone wanting to reassess how your personal and professional goals align, I provide you with practical tools and techniques along with a space to rethink how your roles, relationships and routines are working for you and set goals that will kick-start long-lasting change. Topics I coach parents on include things like: * Coping with an increased mental load and decision fatigue * Managing feelings of guilt and dealing with societal expectations * Dealing with overwhelm and building confidence in balancing the various roles you play * Planning a successful return to work after having a baby * Setting boundaries and communicating needs * Identifying personal values as a foundation for all of the above

I bring a dual background in Clinical Social Work and Applied Positive Psychology to my work as a coach — blending evidence-based tools with deep listening, contextual awareness, and a respect for the complexity of your life. I’ve spent more than a decade coaching people through career changes, identity shifts, and personal turning points — especially when the path forward isn’t linear. My clients range from MBA students preparing for high-stakes recruiting to professionals navigating burnout, transitions, and self-doubt. Together, we look at the full picture: your values, your history, your aspirations, your financial reality — and your lived experience. We clarify what matters, explore what’s possible, and map out real steps forward. This isn’t “life coaching” in the abstract. It’s thoughtful, honest, human-centered work — focused on helping you make decisions you can feel proud of.

Hello and welcome to my profile! With a strong foundation in Computer Science from Georgia Tech and extensive experience as a Product Manager at Microsoft, I bring a unique perspective to life coaching. My journey through tech giants like Microsoft and Verizon has equipped me with the skills to navigate complex challenges and drive personal growth. As a former Teaching Assistant, I have a passion for mentoring and guiding individuals to achieve their fullest potential. Whether you're looking to enhance your career, improve work-life balance, or set and achieve personal goals, I'm here to help you craft a path to success. Let's connect and start your journey towards a more fulfilling life!

I believe the best decisions about your life and career don't start with a job title or a five-year plan. They start with understanding how you see the world, what you were made to do, and why it matters to you. That's where I begin. Your worldview, your faith, your values, your natural wiring, and what brings you to life. I use behavioral assessments, honest conversation, and direct feedback to help you build a clear picture of who you actually are. Not who your resume says you are, but what makes you come alive and where your unique gifts should take you. From there, we begin building. Clarity without action is just self-awareness that sits on a shelf. I help you define your purpose and then build a concrete plan around it, one that fits your whole life, not just your career. I've coached over 25 early-career professionals through pivots, promotions, and the harder questions about direction and meaning. The feedback I'm most proud of is that people feel both challenged and believed in at the same time. That's the balance I'm always aiming for. If you're looking for a coach who cares about the whole picture and not just your next move, I'd love to learn more about you.

Major life transitions have a way of challenging not just what we do, but who we are. Whether you're navigating a career pivot, burnout, entrepreneurship, leadership, an empty nest, divorce, caregiving, or simply feeling like you've outgrown the life you've built, those moments require more than advice. They require a new strategy. As a former Fortune 100 Vice President, Leadership Behavior Strategist, Trauma-Informed Certified Coach, and award-winning author, I bring a unique combination of executive leadership, behavioral science, and real-world experience to every coaching relationship. I've spent more than two decades leading through change while helping high performers make complex decisions under pressure, and I've personally navigated the identity shifts that come with redefining success. My coaching is grounded in one core belief: most people don't need to become someone new, they need to stop operating from strategies that no longer fit who they've become. Together, we'll uncover the patterns shaping your decisions, gain clarity on what matters most, and build a practical path forward with confidence and intention. If you're standing at a crossroads and know the old way isn't working anymore, I'll help you navigate what's next with clarity, courage, and a strategy designed for your next chapter.

When life feels overwhelming, unbalanced, or directionless, I help you make sense of it all and reconnect to what matters most. We’ll uncover the patterns that keep you stuck, transform the way you talk to yourself, and design small but powerful steps toward a more fulfilling life. I support clients in navigating burnout, improving relationships, and strengthening self-trust. Together, we’ll tackle both the practical (time, priorities, boundaries) and the emotional (confidence, inner critic, self-worth), so you can build a life that feels aligned and sustainable.
