1:1 PHILOSOPHICAL COACHING
For Those Who Suspect There's More to Life Than the Success Treadmill
You've likely tried the optimisation routes. The morning routines. The productivity systems. The cold plunges. The mindfulness apps. Maybe they helped for a while, but the unease always returns.
That gnawing sense that you're living someone else's life. The Sunday night dread that no amount of self-care can touch. The suspicion that your burnout isn't a personal failure.
You're not wrong.
I work with professionals who are ready to ask the questions that success culture desperately wants you to avoid:
-
What if there's nothing wrong with you?
-
What if the system is designed to exhaust you?
-
What if success as defined by the modern machine of hustle is actually traumatic?
-
What if your anxiety is an appropriate response to an insane situation?
This isn't therapy. It's not strictly life coaching. It's lived philosophical coaching for those ready to examine the assumptions that govern their lives.
Together, we'll:
-
Name the water you've been swimming in
-
Excavate your actual values from beneath cultural programming
-
Explore what "enough" might mean in an extractive world
-
Consider possibilities beyond winning or escaping the game
-
Practice living with integrity inside systems that reward its opposite
I don't promise transformation, abundance, or your best life.
I offer something more modest and more radical: a space to think clearly about what you're doing with your finite existence.
Some clients radically restructure their lives. Others find small acts of resistance that keep them sane. Many discover that simply seeing clearly is its own liberation.
This work isn't for everyone.
It's not for those seeking quick fixes or motivational fuel to achieve more. It's for those who suspect that achievement itself might be part of the problem.
If you want to optimise your performance in the machine, I'm not your coach.
If you're ready to question the machine itself and sit with whatever that questioning reveals, we should talk.
The structure is simple:
-
Weekly or biweekly conversations in-person or via Zoom
-
No predetermined outcomes or frameworks to master
-
Space for whatever emerges from honest examination
-
Support for the inevitable grief that comes with clear seeing
Limited availability by design. This work cannot be scaled.


Rodney, you made me feel more comfortable within myself, more disciplined. Thank you for coaching me, not only physically but mentally. I've become more centered in every aspect of my life. Day by day I say goodbye to the fearful and anxious person I once was. I am so grateful and excited to continue on this journey.
