Are You at a Crossroads In your Career?

Let's find out! How many of the following can you relate to?

  • Worried you are about to lose your job, or recently lost it, and feel unsure of your next steps.
  • Dreading Mondays and feeling completely drained or "sucked dry" by your job.
  • Use to love what you did at work but no longer feeling the vibe.
  • Wondering, "Is this all there is?" in your career.
  • Feeling unsure about your next steps and career direction, even if you have some ideas.
  • Wishing you felt valued, appreciated, and excited about your work, instead of constantly stressed.
  • Considering a side hustle or starting your own business but not sure where to start or how to make it financially viable.
  • Feeling afraid of change, that you're not qualified for anything else, or if you'll have to "start at the bottom" in a new industry.
  • Struggling with inconsistent income or living paycheck to paycheck, even with a "good job."
  • Facing difficult interviews and feeling like you're missing the "language" of articulating your value and successes.
  • Yearning for more time with family, less stress, and better work-life balance, especially if your commute or workload impacts your personal life.

If you related to any of these, you're not alone. The Career Clarity Initiative is designed to guide you through your career transition with purpose and peace of mind.


What is a Career Transition and Why Does It Matter?

A career transition is more than just changing jobs. It's a significant, often deeply personal, shift in your professional life. This could involve changing roles, industries, or even moving to self-employment. It's about aligning your career with your deepest values, passions, and long-term goals, ensuring it's not just a quick fix but a sustainable path to fulfillment. It's also about exploring growth within your current role or a new one, recognizing that your well-being matters as much as your income.

Potential Paths in Your Career Transition:

  • Transform your current role: Make key changes and adjustments within your existing position to increase satisfaction, reduce stress, and rediscover your passion for your work."
  • Break into a New Industry: Land a fulfilling job in a different field that ignites your passion.
  • Cultivate a side hustle or business: Embrace entrepreneurship to create your ideal path, converting your passions into a rewarding and profitable enterprise.
  • New Job in the Same Industry: Secure a better opportunity within your current field, leading to improved work conditions, reduced stress, and a more fulfilling work-life integration.


The Career Clarity Initiative is the perfect solution to make a career change with confidence, no matter which path you choose. I will help you identify your strengths and passions, overcome self-doubt, and develop a clear, actionable plan to achieve your goals. I'll help you take the next step in your career journey, knowing you're fully supported.



Is It Time For a Career Transition?

Reflect on the following questions to ask yourself:

  • Do I feel joy and energy in what I do, or am I stuck in a thankless job, dreading each workday?
  • Does my career support, rather than hinder, my ability to prioritize family time?
  • Am I truly excited about my work and able to disengage after hours, or am I constantly burned out?
  • Is my health thriving, and is my stress genuinely manageable?
  • Is my confidence soaring, knowing my self-worth, or do I constantly second-guess myself in interviews and daily tasks?
  • Do I regularly feel valued, appreciated, and supported in my career?
  • Am I making a tangible difference and is my work deeply aligned with my values?
  • Is my financial situation stable and secure, truly supporting the lifestyle I desire without constant worry?
  • Are there opportunities internally or in my same field that I have been scared to consider?

These are all important questions to consider when evaluating your current career path. It's essential to regularly assess whether or not your job is fulfilling and aligned with your personal values and goals.


Change can be scary and overwhelming if you are unsure of what direction to take, or how to navigate financial concerns, job search fatigue, or past negative experiences.


You can confidently start your path to a new career by:

  1. Creating an exit strategy if you are currently employed, ensuring a smooth and financially secure transition.
  2. Developing a strategic action plan to secure your next fulfilling job, even if you feel your resume is not modern enough, you've "bombed" past interviews or lack the "language."
  3. Taking the essential steps to start your own business, turning your passion into a sustainable income source.

Ligia L. Gutierrez

Ligia L. Gutierrez helps career returnees and career changers get out of overwhelm and self-doubt by gaining focus, clarity, and confidence.

Ligia had a mid-career crisis in her late 40's, leaving a career she loved but that was slowly causing her mental and physical issues due to burnout.

After her mid-career crisis she went back to school to get her Masters in Leadership & Management, got certified as a Money Breakthrough Business Coach™, Sacred Money Archetype® coach, and started her coaching and consulting business.

For over thirty years, she has held many leadership roles in her career and as a volunteer.

Ligia provides a safe and trusting space where clients feel valued, understood, appreciated, and confident.  When not coaching, Ligia loves to play in the dirt, take photographs, read, volunteer, travel, and enjoy a delicious herbal tea while watching one of her favorite YouTube channels. Ligia was born in Guatemala and raised by her grandmother until her parents moved her to the US. She is a mom of two (both in college), a wife, and a furball mom of a crazy and loveable papillon named Olympia along with our new addition, Gojira, our curious cat.



You will be supported through

  • Two monthly coaching sessions that will be personalized based on your needs.
  • Emergency Text access.
  • Hop-on-a-call with coach

Based on goals that will be identified during Orientations & Expectation, Ligia will determine what programs will be used to support you (see below for a few examples). There is no additional cost.

($750 VALUE)

Not all interviews are the same. Prepare to be able to respond not with a perfectly practiced answer but by knowing yourself, your skills, your know how and how it will best suit your future employer. In this session you will go through a mock interview and will be coached on how you can improve your performance.

Cover letter review is a must so you have a strong cover letter foundation that can be easily modified for multiple jobs. A tracking worksheet will be provided.

Bonus ($1500 Value) if you sign up for 6 month coaching package


Sacred Money Archetype® VIP

Discover your Sacred Money Archetypes®, revealing the most profitable actions you can take to increase your income and secure your financial freedom and future.

For example, I will coach you to:

  • Pinpoint money blind spots and brainstorm opportunities for empowering your financial decisions and your personal growth.
  • Troubleshoot the money blind spots that are likely causing an "invisible ceiling" on your income. Surprisingly, this invisible ceiling exists at EVERY income level. Hearing what you need to break free will remove any limits on your financial freedom and inner worth.
  • Learn key areas where you may be giving away your power with money and identify steps you can take to own your value, with confidence and clarity.
  • Learn how to empower your voice when discussing money in any situation and calculate the amount this shift could potentially add to your bank account.

This a half day hands-on coaching session. It is equivalent to two months of coaching.

Two one-on-one coaching sessions will be provided each month.

The virtual sessions will last 45-70 minutes on Zoom, Skype, or Google Meet and will be spread out twice a month.

How do I schedule my appointment?

Upon purchasing coaching, you'll receive further instructions on how to book a time for your appointment.

If I don't see a time that works for me and will give me time before my interview, what should I do?

Please contact Ligia at [email protected] so she can review her calendar and determine what can be done to make it work.

Is the orientation and expectation session counted toward one of my monthly sessions?

No. This is a bonus session to help us get on the same page and develop a plan.

Will I get coaching on my current situation at my job?

As a leadership and management specialist, I will help you navigate your current situation, reduce stress, and leave on good terms.

What happens if I decide not to apply for a job but to do my own thing?

During our sessions, I will work on creating clarity about what you want to do and developing a transition plan. I can also switch from traditional career coaching to Money Breakthrough Business coach to support you.

My resume and cover letter are fine, so I won't need help with those. Can I get anything else?

Private coaching is very individualized. The direction we take will be based on your needs. You may need something different, like how to be a better leader or improve communication skills. You will have access to my experience, knowledge, and skills. However, if you are looking for a new job, you will still benefit from having me review them.

Does this program guarantee I will get a job?

While I cannot guarantee job placement, The Career Clarity Initiative provides you with the essential tools, strategies, and support to significantly enhance your job search and career development efforts.

Can I text you?

Text messaging will be available during business hours, though not for additional coaching. Emergency texts can be sent after hours and will be answered at the Coach's discretion.

Can I purchase coaching more than once?

Absolutely! If you need coaching more than once, simply purchase the coaching again or continue your subscription.

What do I do to sign up for the six-month program and receive the Sacred Money Archetype VIP session bonus?

Click on the six-month coaching payment. There is an option to pay in installments using Affirm or Afterpay.

Why is the paid in full less than the monthly?

The paid-in-full option offers a discounted rate as a way to reward clients who make a complete upfront payment. This simplifies the billing process and reduces administrative costs, allowing us to pass those savings on to you. It also reflects our appreciation for your strong commitment to your career growth and development.

What happens if we accomplish the goals we set out before my time with you is over?

For the duration of the coaching sessions, we will regroup and create new goals that align with the new direction.

Can I get a refund or cancel?

Cancellation request must be made 48 hours before the first session/orientation. The nonrefundable deposit of $150 will be deducted from your refund. Once coaching begins, there are no refunds. Ensure you have received and signed the Client Agreement. No refunds will be issued, and all scheduled payments must be paid promptly. If you are hesitant, let's talk.

I need a job ASAP. Is coaching really worth the time and investment right now?

I understand the urgency you're feeling. While it might seem counterintuitive, investing in coaching can actually speed up your job search and ensure you find a role that truly fits. I help you get clear on what you want, optimize your resume and interview skills, and develop a targeted strategy. This focused approach is much more effective than blindly applying to jobs and hoping for the best. Plus, with the 6-month program, you'll have ongoing support to thrive in your new role and plan for long-term success. Please note I do have targeted short-term coaching programs that may benefit you if you are short on time.
