Life & career coaching for leaders, founders, and ambitious humans ready to make meaningful changes in how they work and live.
You care deeply about what you do, the people in your life, and how you spend your time.
Maybe you're feeling stretched too thin by the responsibilities you carry and the expectations you put on yourself. Maybe you're craving more meaning in your work, navigating a big change, or ready to pursue something you've been putting off.
Whatever brings you here, you want to do work you're proud of, make confident decisions, and have the time and energy to enjoy the life you're building.
Through coaching, we'll untangle what's keeping you stuck, explore what's possible, and turn what matters most to you into meaningful action.
Where My Clients Work
Hey there! I’m Ashley Marcinek - life & career coach.
I believe you can be deeply ambitious, take pride in your work, and still have a life that feels good to live.
With a background in psychology and years of experience coaching professionals across industries and stages of life, I bring together thoughtful reflection, practical strategies, and a healthy dose of encouragement to help you create meaningful change.
Our work isn't about telling you what to do or pushing you toward someone else's definition of success.
It's about understanding yourself more deeply, challenging the patterns and beliefs that may be holding you back, and finding new ways to navigate the opportunities, responsibilities, and decisions in front of you.
Sometimes that means building confidence, setting boundaries, or having a difficult conversation. Other times, it's pursuing a promotion, making a career change, navigating a life transition, or finally making space for something you've wanted for a long time.
Whatever we're working toward, my goal is to help you move forward with greater clarity, courage, and confidence.
Have you been feeling stuck for longer than you’d like to admit?
It’s okay.. you’re here now.
Get the guidance, support, and loving push you need to awaken your greatest potential and build a life that’s uniquely yours.
Imagine in 6 months you could…
Achieve true work-life balance without stress or burnout
Leave unhealthy habits of hustle and perfectionism behind and prioritize self-care, exercise and restful sleep. Set clear boundaries and have more time for yourself and your family, where you can be truly present without feeling guilty or thinking “I don’t have time for this.” Improve your mental, emotional, and physical health, lower your stress levels and unlock more time for deep work.
Develop trust and confidence to get through anything
Deepen your self respect and trust so you can make decisions without second guessing yourself. Learn how to navigate tough conversations or people without neglecting your needs. Tend to parts of you that are fearful so you can ask for that promotion or raise and finally enjoy the financial freedom you’ve been working towards.
Use your zone of genius to propel your career sustainably
Embrace a career transition, land a new role outside your company, or move internally with confidence and clarity. Get the tools, guidance, and accountability to boost your performance and achieve your highest career goals. Answer big existential questions that guide you into a life where your work lights you up, and where you can make an impact doing what you love.

Client wins & love
Before working with Ashley, I felt stuck and overwhelmed. I wanted to feel more confident, make clearer decisions, and find better balance in my life. Through our work together, I gained clarity on my goals, set boundaries, and followed through on things I had been avoiding for years. Not only have I seen career growth and improved relationships, but I also feel more empowered and in control of my path. Ashley’s unique ability to listen deeply and hold me accountable made a huge difference. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to grow into the best version of themselves.
Lauren, Assistant Director of People, Sugar Land, TX, USA
Ashley has a way of asking the really hard questions, but making them feel easy. It is what has helped me shift my mindset on so many things in my life. I attribute so much of my growth, confidence and outlook to my sessions with Ashley which is not to mention a career change and huge developments in my romantic & platonic relationships. I could not recommend her more if I tried.
Amanda, Operations Manager, London, UK
Ashley’s corporate workshop was exactly what our team needed to gain a fresh perspective. Her upbeat personality and calming voice is a pleasure to listen to – I had the team asking for incremental sessions with her almost before our 75 minutes was even over! Ashley puts a lot of work into preparing and personalizing her presentations. We took away some amazing tidbits to add to our daily professional and personal lives, and I can’t wait to work with Ashley again in the months to come.
Olivia McCormack, Vice President, Business Development, Tag Canada
After working with Ashley for 7 months, I noticed lots of changes within myself. I am much more self-aware and compassionate with myself, and it’s made it easier to address challenges in my life and go after the things I want. Ashley is very patient, attentive, and non-judging, so it was a very enjoyable, but productive experience. I have recommended so many people to Ashley already!
