Feeling Drained Despite Success?
You’re smart, capable, dependable, driven, and always the one others rely on?
You give your all at work, at home, in every role you take on?
You’ve built a strong career, maybe even in an international or high-impact environment?
But lately, something’s off. The success is there, yet the joy is… quieter than it should be. Somewhere along the way, you’ve lost touch with the part of you that feels… well, like you.
At Golden Green Coaching, I help high-performing professionals reconnect with their energy, peace and purpose without having to walk away from their ambition, income and the careers they’ve worked so hard to build. My mission is to create space for clarity, balance, and joy in lives that have been overtaken by responsibility and achievement.
This is a space for recalibration. A place to pause, breathe, and rediscover what balance and fulfillment look like for you. We’ll work together with warmth, calm, and a touch of light humour, because personal growth doesn’t have to feel heavy.
You don’t need to escape your life to enjoy it. You just need support that sees the whole of you. Does it speak to you?

My Story
Hi, I'm Angela!
I'm a certified life coach in Geneva, Switzerland.
I was the eldest child in a family where achievement was the family way of doing things. My parents, shaped by the aftermath of war and scarcity, believed deeply in hard work and education. They passed that drive on to their children. From an early age, I took it seriously: do well, stay dependable, and make everyone proud. And I did. On paper, I was thriving, hitting milestones, collecting gold stars, and rarely stopping to ask if I was actually happy.
But behind the accomplishments was a familiar cycle: go full speed until burnout, then start all over again. I confused being busy with being fulfilled. I wore resilience like a badge, even when I was running on fumes.
Eventually, life called my bluff. I crashed. Not just a wobble, but a real stop-and-stare-at-the-ceiling moment. I sold my succesful business, because I no longer had the energy to keep it going. I paused. I asked hard questions. What do I really want? What’s all this effort actually for? That’s when things began to shift.
I started letting go of old stories about worth and success. I got curious about what joy actually feels like. Not the kind that comes from praise, but the kind that fills you quietly while walking by the lake or laughing with someone who just gets you. I learned how to be kinder to myself. Slower. Clearer.
And the more I healed, the more I wanted to help others find that same freedom. Especially people like me, high achievers who give their all to everyone else and finally realise it’s time to give something back to themselves. That’s why I started Golden Green Coaching.
Today, I bring together what I’ve learned from science and ancient wisdom, from personal growth and professional reinvention. I draw from cognitive-behavioural psychology, systemic thinking, and the neurobiology of trauma, along with my background as a sociolinguist and researcher of human-machine interaction. (Yes, I’m still a nerd at heart.)
But most of all, I bring what I’ve lived: the messiness, the momentum, and the beauty of starting again with calm, clarity, and just enough humour to make the ride smoother.
This site, and my coaching practice are my ways of offering you a soft place to land and a solid place to begin.
Wherever you’re starting from, you don’t have to burn it all down to feel human again. You just need the right support to find your own version of balance.
What is coaching?
Coaching is a focused, forward-moving conversation with a twist. It’s not about giving advice or digging into your past (that’s therapy’s job). It’s about helping you get clear, get moving, and feel human again.
Here’s how it works:
-
We get real about where you are right now. No sugarcoating. Just clarity.
-
We figure out what’s actually draining your energy (and what’s not).
-
We set meaningful goals. The kind that feel like relief, not pressure.
-
We explore new habits and ways of thinking that support the life you want.
-
You practice. I support. We adjust. And yes, we celebrate progress—even the quiet kind.
-
You already have the answers. Coaching just helps you hear them more clearly, and act on them with confidence.
There is always a solution waiting
for you!
Integrative Solution-Focused Approach
This isn’t coaching that drags on forever. It’s clear, concise, and designed to get you moving fast. With just a few sessions, many of my clients already feel a shift: more clarity, more momentum, and a stronger sense of “I’ve got this.”
Here’s the core idea:
You already hold the ingredients for change. You might just need the right space (and a strategic nudge) to connect the dots.
This approach helps you:
-
Define what you actually want—not what you think you “should” want
-
Spot what’s already working (there’s more than you think)
-
Tap into your own solutions
-
Get the support to follow through and sustain your progress
I like to say: your problems often carry the seeds of your solutions. When something feels off, it’s not just friction, it’s information. It’s a cue to listen in, get curious, and take aligned action.
You’re not broken. You’re just ready for a better fit between your values and your reality.
Or as the entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and author Jim Rohn put it:
"If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much."
Work. Progress. Purpose.
Is your success still feeling like success?
Work takes up a big part of our lives, and for many high achievers, it’s where we’ve poured our time, talent, and energy for years. But at some point, even when things look good on the outside, you might start wondering:
Am I building something that feels meaningful—or just checking boxes on an endless list?
Whether you're leading teams, managing complex projects, or constantly solving other people’s problems, the truth is: you're a creator. Your work is your craft. But even creators burn out when progress starts feeling empty, or invisible.
Progress isn’t just about promotions or polished outcomes. It’s also the inner wins: clearer thinking, better boundaries, a sense of ease you didn’t have before. That counts too.
So, how do you define progress now?
-
Is it that big project finally wrapping up?
-
Is it feeling proud of how you handled a tough conversation?
-
Or maybe, it’s taking a proper lunch break without checking email. (A radical move, I know.)
Real success includes tangible milestones and quiet, internal shifts. That’s the kind of progress I help clients recognize, deepen, and sustain.
You don’t need to abandon your ambition. You just need space to reconnect with what makes it feel worthwhile.
Relationships. Feelings. Reality. Do connections energize, or drain you?
In a world of endless meetings, rushed check-ins, and inboxes that never sleep, truly connecting with another person can feel... rare. But when it happens, when you're really seen and heard, it’s powerful.
Eckhart Tolle put it beautifully: in a genuine relationship, there’s a flow of open, alert attention, without an agenda. Imagine that. A conversation without the need to fix, prove, or impress.
Real connection doesn’t ask for much, just your presence. Not your perfect words. Not your polished self. Just your real self, fully engaged in the moment.
And yet, so often we walk away from interactions feeling unseen, misunderstood, or simply… tired.
Why?
Because we’re wired to give, to solve, to keep the peace. Even when we’re running on empty.
Here’s what I’ve learned:
-
Being present with others starts by being more present with yourself.
-
No pressure. No performance. Just calm, honest connection, with boundaries, warmth, and room to breathe.
And when you build relationships from that space?
They feel lighter. Freer. And much more fulfilling.
Let’s explore what that could look like—for you.
