Hi! I'm Sasha Cagen, an executive coach for women leaders at midlife who are accomplished, driven, and ready to close the gap between how how capable they are and how confident they feel.
I came to this work through cofounding a Silicon Valley startup, writing books for New York publishers, and burning out so completely I packed up and moved to South America.

I've spent 15 years plus helping women leaders find the presence, confidence, and authority that was inside them all along.
