I didn't grow up thinking I'd end up in sales.
I studied psychology because I genuinely love understanding how people think, what motivates them, and where they get stuck. After graduating, I fell into a sales role at an early-stage tech company — mostly by accident — and discovered I was actually good at it.
Within a few years I was the top performer on my team. Then I was leading the team. Then I was building it from scratch, managing pipelines, coaching reps, and helping take companies from barely scraping by to $5M in ARR.
On paper, everything looked great. Underneath, I was burning out.
So I quit, took time off, and eventually found my way into coaching — first career coaching, then realizing what I actually loved was the sales part all along.
After nearly a decade of building and leading sales teams from scratch, I realized the skill I'd spent years developing was exactly the one most founders were missing.
I shut down career coaching and rebuilt Coached by Couch as a sales coaching practice for women founders.
Because here's what I kept seeing: women who were genuinely great at their work, with clients who loved them and results that spoke for themselves — completely winging it on the sales side. Not because they weren't capable. Because nobody ever taught them.
Sales isn't a personality trait. It's not something you either have or you don't. It's a learnable skill. And most founders — especially women — are running their businesses without one.
That's the gap I fill.
