What's possible when you stop trying to be who you are "supposed to" be?
Most of us spend a lot of energy shaping ourselves to fit — into jobs, relationships, and expectations about how life “should” look. Exhausting, right?
​
My work is about coming home to your own wisdom, values, and direction — stepping into a grounded sense of power and purpose. It’s a space to untangle autopilot patterns and reconnect with what truly matters.
​
I believe you are whole and capable — not something to fix. My role is to help you hear yourself clearly and trust what you find. Through deep listening, open inquiry, and (when it serves) Parts Work, we explore what’s alive beneath the surface and make room for new ways of being.
​
Who I work with
​
I support people who feel something shifting — or wish it would. Leaders on the margins, creatives, and seekers navigating transitions, growth, and self-discovery. People untangling old expectations and finding their way back to rootedness in themselves, others, and the world.
​
Maybe you…
​
-
Want to step into greater leadership (or are being nudged into it)
-
Want to access more of your brilliance and confidence
-
Want to bring more of your full self to your work and relationships
-
Feel out of alignment and want a life that feels truly yours
​
Wherever you’re arriving from, we start there.
​How we can work together
Below are a few ways to begin or deepen the work — whether you want a single session, a short-term rhythm, or a ongoing partnership.
​
Wayfinding — Coaching for Ongoing Transformation
Two or three 1-hour sessions per month, for 3 or 6 months depending on your goals and needs
​​​​​
Wayfinding is the heart of my coaching work: a steady, ongoing partnership that supports deep transformation in how you live, lead, and relate — to yourself, others, and the world around you. We explore what’s shifting beneath the surface, untangle old patterns, and strengthen the ways you move with clarity and agency.
​
If you’re navigating a transition, creating something new, or feeling the pull toward a more honest version of yourself, Wayfinding gives you the space and support to explore that with grounded presence and courage.
​
This container includes between-session support, reflection prompts, and practices tailored to what you’re working with.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​
Every partnership begins with a free 30-minute discovery call — a chance to connect, explore what you’re seeking, and see if the fit feels right. If we continue, we’ll c-create the structure that supports you best.
​If you’d like to start smaller or focus on a specific area before stepping into a longer partnership, I offer several shorter, standalone options below — each designed to meet you where you are.
​
All of these are powerful ways to start or deepen the work.
Naming Your Essence
75 minutes
​
We all carry an Essence — the most alive, grounded, connected version of who we are. In this session, we uncover and name yours. You’ll begin to see where it naturally leads and where old patterns tug you off-course.
​
This session can stand alone or act as the first step in ongoing coaching. If you choose to continue, the cost is credited toward your next container.
​
'Naming Your Essence' can stand alone, or be part of 'In Motion' (below). If after the first session you decide you want to continue with more coaching, the cost of this session will be credited toward your next package.
​
​In Motion — A Three-Part Journey from Essence to Creation​
Three 75 minute sessions
​
This three-part series reconnects you with the core of who you are and brings that clarity into what you’re creating next.
Session 1 — Essence: Name your Essence and understand how it moves through your life.
Session 2 — Life Purpose: Identify the current of contribution that’s uniquely yours.
Session 3 — Bringing It to Life: Design what’s next from alignment, not obligation.
Essence can be booked on its own, or experienced as part of this three-part journey — a powerful foundation for deeper coaching work.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Single Coaching Session
One powerful hour for clarity, grounding, and what’s next
​This is a focused session to turn our attention to wherever you need it most — perhaps a project you want to start, a challenge you're stuck on, a path you're curious to follow, a choice you need to make. The aim is to help you see more clearly, get unstuck, or reconnect to the truth of what matters. Consider this a taste of what coaching might unlock for you. You’ll leave with clarity and actions to take next, plus a sense of how our work together might support you over time. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
4-Pack of Coaching Sessions
​Four 1-hour sessions to build momentum
​
This 4-session container offers structure without rigidity — a supportive rhythm for people who want more continuity than a single session provides, without committing to a long program. Four sessions give us enough time to listen for themes, deepen awareness, and experiment with new ways of being or relating.
​​Max Hart (they/them) is an ICF-certified life and leadership coach who partners with people to uncover the truest version of themselves and create lives that feel fully alive. Their work is an exploration of what it means to be human — bringing curiosity, deep listening, reflection, and play to walk alongside you as you find your way home to yourself.
​
Max’s path to coaching grew out of years spent leading teams and facilitating leadership development in both corporate and community-based settings. They trained as a coach to better support others in their growth — and in the process discovered the work they were meant to do: helping people come alive in their leadership, bring more of themselves into their work, and navigate change with courage and integrity.
​
In 2025, Max completed the Pacific Crest Trail — a five-month, 2,650-mile walk from Mexico to Canada — deepening their relationship with uncertainty, resilience, and the wild wisdom of body and earth. That same spirit of curiosity and courage infuses their coaching: an invitation to meet yourself fully, stay present in the in-between, and find your own way forward.
​
Max brings warmth, humor, and grounded presence to their work, helping people find freedom in the magical messy middle of being human in relationship with a living world. They also write Wilder Ground — a Substack exploring the wild, often illogical process of unlearning, re-learning, and returning to oneself.
