HI I’m Paola

The past five years have been a whirlwind—giving birth during a pandemic, job hunting with a newborn in my arms, and moving across the country. There were moments that felt heavy, and honestly, I was just going through the motions. I didn’t realize how disconnected I’d become from myself until one day, I paused long enough to hear my own thoughts again.
Slowly, I started making space for me. My kids have always been my priority, but I began to understand that taking care of myself was necessary in order to keep showing up with love and energy. 
That’s what led me to create Her Dream Map—a space for moms who are navigating this messy, beautiful season of life. Whether you’re focused on your home, your career, or both, you’re juggling a lot. And you deserve to feel strong, supported, and seen.
I’m here to walk alongside you as you sketch out your own version of success—whatever that looks like—and find joy in the process

My Approach

Motherhood changed me in ways I never expected. When I became a mom, I felt a deep desire to become a better version of myself—not just for me, but for my children. I wanted to model kindness, patience, and generosity—the very values I hope they carry into the world.

But I also learned that motherhood isn’t always graceful. Between career transitions, mom guilt, and burnout, it’s easy to lose sight of our best selves. That’s why I created a coaching practice that helps moms reconnect with their values and apply them in everyday life—at home, at work, and in moments of overwhelm.

As a mindset and career coach, I speciALIZE IN:

  1. Career reentry coaching for women returning to work after a break

  2. Work-life balance strategies that honor both ambition and family

  3. Mom guilt reframing to turn shame into strength

  4. Values-based parenting that aligns with your goals and your heart

  5. Limiting belief transformation so you can grow with intention

I believe every mom deserves to feel empowered—not just in her career, but in her identity. My approach blends emotional intelligence, practical tools, and gentle reflection to help you redefine success on your own terms.
