What are you being called to create in the world?

Connect with your creative life force & live in alignment with your purpose

Hi! My name is Besan and I help people launch/grow social impact ventures from a place of being.

I believe that launching a social impact venture is a sacred act that heals your soul.

There is something that can only come through you.

Something that wants to be birthed into the world.

So go ahead and ask yourself: what am I being called to create in the world?

Working with me

Over the course of a 6 month journey, I guide you through the process of creating what you are being called to create in the world.

Maybe you have an idea for a social impact venture. Maybe you’ve already started. Or maybe you are curious about what is possible.

I am here to walk alongside you.

I provide guidance, support, and a nurturing space that allows you to create from a place of flow.

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”

-Rumi

“I worked with Besan whilst in a transitional period of life where I was mourning the close of one chapter and finding the courage to emerge into the next. I can say without a doubt that Besan's coaching was integral in catalyzing my metamorphosis. Her style of asking poignant, precise questions provides a powerful and practical way to reveal and re-wire our conditioning. Besan's approach affirms that knowing the self isn't something we learn, but something we remember.”

-Anam, Writer in NJ

“Besan helped me think more holistically about what I want from life beyond the traditional notions of success. She creates a warm, non-judgmental environment to talk through personal and professional challenges and helps guide you to clear solutions.”

My Philosophy

I am a trauma-informed life coach with a experience as a management consultant, economic researcher, and nonprofit founder.

My approach is rooted in the philosophy that this is sacred work. I believe:

  • Inner Work is Necessary for Outer Impact

When we tend to our inner world, the outer work flows. To do this work, we must learn how to move like nature, listen to our innate wisdom, and be a healer in the world. You aren’t just building any venture, you are building something that is deeply aligned with your soul.

  • Impact Starts at Home

We have a responsibility to solve the problems that directly affect us. Rather than trying to fix the world (which is careless at best, ignorant at worst), we must start at home and in our own communities. This is where your soul is actually calling you to create.

  • We are All Interconnected

Contrary to common belief, making an impact is not about fixing other people's lives. It is about recognizing the interconnectedness of our human experience and understanding that what impacts one person, impacts us all. By acknowledging our interdependence, we unlearn selfish c*pitalist teachings and embrace the truth that we are all connected.

“Besan did such a wonderful job of creating an open and trusting space, truly listening to me, and helping me re-shape my thoughts. At the start of these, I was feeling very paralyzed by making the decision of what my next step would be. Taking this step back to look at my life through a bigger lens helped bring me out of that. I feel more confident that I know what I am looking for out of my life *in this moment* and I know what I can do to make the changes I need.”

You must get as much as you can from any journey, because in the end, the journey is all you have.

So why not live?

- Paulo Coelho

What can I expect on this journey?

  • Cultivating the courage and authenticity to create what is uniquely yours.

  • Embracing the interconnectedness of your impact and its significance in your own life.

  • Integrating mindfulness and nourishing practices to sustain your journey.

  • Fostering a deep connection to your intuition and inner wisdom.

“Sessions with Besan are a treasure!  After navigating my past during therapy, Besan’s coaching was an opportunity to think about how I was seeing my present and future. She helped me identify patterns of limiting beliefs and replace them with empowering ideas of my self-value. As I learned to tap into the powers of my own mind, she made sure I had the right tools to become calmer and more effective.”

- Maryam, Economist in Chapel Hill

"These sessions with Besan have been wonderful and extremely helpful and collaborative. Each session in this journey was unique and she used a different technique and tool to help me focus and clarify my thoughts and desired outcomes. Things as simple as reframing or trusting oneself have taken on new meaning and new power after our sessions. I enjoyed feeling accountable - both to myself and these weekly sessions -  in following through with the goals we set together. Besan's energy and her kindness has lifted me up and has reminded me that I can lift myself up by absorbing and following my learnings through these sessions."
