Fernanda Bressan’s Mission: Help Her Clients Get Unstuck
As you prepare to ring in the New Year, you might be asking, in 2025, how can I achieve a better alignment with my family, career, and especially myself?
This episode just might help you answer that question. Join me as I chat with my Amherst College classmate Fernanda Bressan (nee Soicher), a business coach who is an expert in helping clients get unstuck in any aspect of their lives.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why it’s so hard to achieve work-life balance – and what’s better to pursue instead
Her unique approach to coaching executives at blue chip clients such as Google, Accenture, and Hermes
The key insight she gleaned about herself during her four years at Amherst College that propels her work even today
The one characteristic that entrepreneurs like Fernanda can’t do without
The Amherst classmates she wants me to interview next

Linden Griffith, Innovator and Survivor, Helps Teens Tame Anxiety
In my first-ever podcast episode, I speak to Linden Griffith, a life coach who helps girls and women tame anxiety and find their best selves. In so doing, she presents a viable alternative to psychological or psychiatric care, one that is centered on our strengths, not our flaws.
Linden knows a thing or two about bouncing back from life’s obstacles. That’s because in addition to being a recovering alcoholic, she was diagnosed with a stage 3 brain tumor a few years ago. You’d never guess that, though, judging by the pure optimism and joy that emanates from her.
Here, we talk about her childhood, overcoming addiction, receiving her life-changing diagnosis, and why her approach is so different from traditional psychology. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed speaking with her.
Note: we encountered some technical hiccups that necessitated recording our interview in two sessions. As a result, you may notice a subtle change in the podcast shortly before the half hour point.
