I’m Dasha, and I Help Exhausted Overachievers Gain Peace of Mind


Do you pride yourself on being productive and responsible, but feel burned out inside? Do you feel guilty saying no or prioritizing yourself? Are you so used to struggling that you forgot what happiness feels like?I help driven women like you drop overfunctioning and guilt and gain their energy back.

It’s Not Just You.


  • You say yes when every part of you wants to say no.
  • You sit down to relax and reach for your phone before you’ve taken a breath.
  • You replay the day in bed, ruminating over where you fell short.
  • You do it yourself because it’s faster than explaining, then resent that no one offered.
  • You feel responsible for everyone’s mood but your own.

None of this is a character flaw. It’s a pattern, and once you can see the whole thing, it stops running your life.

  • You make decisions from your own values, not from how someone might react.
  • You rest without trying to earn it first.
  • You stop picking yourself apart at the end of the day.
  • You let someone be disappointed without rushing in to fix it.

Ready to Stop Feeling Exhausted and Afraid That If You Stopped, Everything Would Fall Apart?


You’ve spent years taking responsibility for everyone and everything around you. The guilt, the resentment, the constant running on empty? They are now a part of your day.

You don’t know how to live differently without upending your life, but you can’t continue this way any longer. The truth is change is possible, but it starts with you, leaving everything else that you value intact.

Here’s How We Work Together:

Move Fast, Go Deep

The Cut to the Chase Intensive

You don’t need twelve weeks to name the pattern that’s keeping you stuck. You need a day where nothing else is competing for your attention.We get straight to what’s underneath it, and you leave with a plan you can start on immediately, not more insight to sit with.This is for the woman who is done waiting for the right time to deal with this.

I was afraid I’d be told to make drastic changes, like quitting my job or leaving my marriage. Instead, Dasha helped me see the patterns I was stuck in and how I was contributing to them. When I changed that, everything got better. I didn’t actually need to blow up my life. I am so grateful for this work.

Dasha Tcherniakovskaia

Former corporate lawyer. I upended my life to end the burnout. You don’t have to.

I help overachieving women like you stop running on empty and live a life that you can enjoy.


I spent years in corporate law doing exactly what you’re doing: managing everything, saying yes to everyone, and wondering why I felt flat despite achieving it all. I chose to leave the field, not just the firm.

Now I coach successful women whose old definition of success isn’t working any longer. I help you change at your core, not just the surface-level behaviors, so results will last. You do not need to talk in therapy for years.
