Welcome!

If you’re a woman solopreneur who built a successful career before building your business, you’re in the right place.

Hi, I’m Vera.

I help women make the shift from accomplished professional to confident entrepreneurial leader, so you can stop second-guessing yourself, focus on what actually moves the needle, and build your business on your own terms.

I spent more than 25 years in corporate marketing, communications and leadership before leaving my career in 2023 to build a business of my own.

I left with zero clients.

On that first glorious day, nobody was telling me what to do, when to do it, what to write about or when to eat lunch.

Freedom!

And then reality hit.

I had no policy manual. No established priorities. No team down the hall. No boss to run an idea past. No clear roadmap.

And definitely no line of clients waiting for me just because I had announced on LinkedIn that I was building a coaching business.

I quickly discovered that the biggest transition wasn’t learning how to run a business.

It was learning how to be an entrepreneur.

I had to learn to trust my own decisions. Put myself out there. Sell. Experiment. Stop waiting until everything was perfect. Decide what mattered. Build my own structure. Ask for help. Create community around me.

And underneath all of that was an even deeper process of becoming the woman who could lead the business and life I wanted to create.

That process is still happening.

Because there’s always another layer.

Today, I help other women navigate that same transition with far more clarity, confidence and support than I had when I started.

If you’re thinking, “this is me!”, then you’re in the right place and I can’t wait to meet you!

  • “I can’t tell you how valuable it is to have real time support from a real human and to bounce ideas and thoughts back and forth. In the past, I would have sat on these thoughts for a long time feeling overwhelmed with how to proceed and avoiding the action required because of that overwhelm. Working with you is keeping me accountable, plus I have consistent momentum which I know is key to my business growth.”

  • Clarity doesn't just show up. Sometimes you need someone in your corner who will hold up the mirror and not let you look away. That's what working with my coach Vera has been for me. She doesn't let you play small and she doesn't let you self-sabotage in silence. She helps you move. If you're in your pivot era and you're ready to actually go after it — she's who I'd send you to.

    Vanessa

  • What sets Vera apart is her unique ability to balance practical business strategy with genuine emotional support. She holds me accountable while also acknowledging my values and vision. With her guidance, I've been able to make decisions with confidence, knowing they align with both my business goals and personal values.

  • Instead of feeling scattered and overwhelmed, I now have a focused approach to growing my business that feels authentic and sustainable. Vera doesn't just tell you what to do—she empowers you to discover your own path forward while providing the structure and encouragement needed to stay the course. Her coaching is an investment that continues to pay dividends in both professional growth and personal wellbeing.

  • Working with you has been a game-changer. You’ve helped me see things more clearly and given me tools that actually make a difference. I feel more confident and better equipped to handle whatever comes my way. It’s not just about giving advice—it’s about helping me understand myself better and turn that into action.

  • Vera has been a tremendous help to me personally and professionally. Having somebody who’s always on your side, cheering you on and someone who helps with organizing my thoughts, calendar and points me in the right direction is EXTREMELY important. My first year in business I was carrying too much on my plate and needed someone to sit down and organize my thoughts, to-do list and priorities. Vera has helped my ADHD business brain tenfold.

You left corporate.
But are you still carrying around the corporate operating system?

The skills that made you successful in your career still matter. Your experience, discipline, strategic thinking and ability to get things done are tremendous assets.

But some of the behaviours that helped you succeed inside an organization can quietly hold you back when you're the one creating the organization.

Maybe you recognize yourself here...

You’ve accomplished a lot in your life, but entrepreneurship has challenged your confidence in ways you weren’t expecting.

You have a million ideas and a never-ending to-do list, but you’re not always sure what actually deserves your time and energy.

You spend too much time thinking, researching, planning, tweaking or preparing before taking action.

You know you need to be more visible, talk about what you do and sell your work, but putting yourself at the centre of the brand still feels uncomfortable.

You miss having smart people around you to brainstorm with, challenge your thinking and remind you that you’re not crazy.

You keep thinking you need one more strategy, certification, program, system or piece of information before you’re really ready.

And despite everything you’ve accomplished, there are moments when you wonder:

Why does this feel so much harder than I thought it would?

You’re not lacking ability.

You’re learning a completely different operating system.

Let's Chat About It!

The right support can change everything.

COMMUNITY + MASTERMIND

One of the biggest adjustments after leaving a successful career is realizing how much you miss having smart people around you.

It’s why I followed my heart to build a community of kick-ass women, which led me to meet Lyndsie Barrie. We partnered up in 2025 to create the Fempreneurs community — bringing women together for the connection, accountability, encouragement, and honest conversations that make building a business feel a whole lot less lonely.

Because the biggest breakthroughs happen when smart women stop trying to figure everything out by themselves.

Let's Have a Conversation

  • A business coach for women solopreneurs helps you clarify priorities, strengthen your mindset, and build simple strategies so your business feels sustainable instead of overwhelming. This includes support with focus, confidence, decision-making, boundaries, visibility, and consistent momentum.

  • Create Your Best Chapter is designed for values-driven women solopreneurs who feel capable but scattered and want clearer direction, structure, and support. Most clients are in a growth or upleveling phase and want to stop doing everything alone while building a business that fits their life.

  • My coaching blends practical business strategy with mindset, energy, and whole-life support. Instead of telling you what to do, I focus on helping you become the confident CEO who can actually follow through, make aligned decisions, and grow without burnout.

  • No. While most of my clients are full-time entrepreneurs, many clients are transitioning into full-time entrepreneurship. My coaching meets you where you are and helps you create clarity and momentum within your real life.

  • Clients often gain clearer priorities, stronger confidence, more consistent visibility, and better decision-making around pricing, boundaries, and growth. Over time, this leads to calmer weeks, aligned clients, and more predictable income without the constant pressure.

  • Yes. Feeling overwhelmed or “behind” is often the exact signal that support and structure are needed. Coaching helps you cut through the noise, reset your focus, and move forward with clarity instead of self-criticism.

  • Both. Strategy without mindset often leads to burnout, and mindset without strategy leads to stalled action. This work intentionally combines clear plans with inner support so growth feels grounded and sustainable.

  • You’re not alone—and there’s nothing wrong with you. Coaching focuses on values-led, sustainable visibility that fits your personality and capacity, helping you show up in ways that feel authentic rather than draining.

  • If you’re committed to your growth, open to support, and ready to stop doing everything alone, this work will likely feel like a relief. Most clients say they knew it was right because it felt aligned, supportive, and practical, not pushy or overwhelming.

    If you want to learn more, book a free discovery call and let’s chat about what you need and the next best steps for you.

  • No. Some of my clients are newly into entrepreneurship, while others have been building their businesses for years. What they share is a successful professional background and the realization that entrepreneurship requires a different way of thinking, working and leading.

  • By “corporate operating system,” I mean the habits, beliefs and ways of working that helped you succeed in a structured professional environment.

    Things like waiting for clear direction, looking for the “right” answer, over-preparing, perfecting before you share, relying on external validation, or measuring productivity by how much you get done.

    Those skills and behaviours may have served you well in your career. But entrepreneurship asks you to operate differently. You have to create the direction, trust your own decisions, take action before everything feels certain, be visible, sell your expertise, and decide what actually moves the needle.

    The goal isn’t to throw away everything corporate taught you. It’s to keep the strengths and let go of the patterns that no longer serve the business and life you’re building now.
