HILLARY SPIRITOSM.A., C.L.C. · Certified pathfinding coach. Virtual or in person.
Sound familiar?
You're not alone, and nothing is wrong with you.
In fact, it probably means something is right with you. This is your one and only life, and you owe it to yourself to make it as you wish it to be.
Doing this work now will save you time, money, and save you from the despair that comes from living a life that is not your own.
You don't necessarily need a therapist. Your parents probably can't quite relate, and your friends aren't objective. As a certified pathfinding coach, I offer the in-between space to create and carry out your own life road map.
- Overwhelmed by the options ahead of you?
- Feel like everyone else knows what they're doing and you're running behind?
- Paralyzed by personal or professional decisions?
- Lost, unmotivated, uninspired?
- Afraid you'll get it "wrong"?
“Hillary has a unique ability to see potential where I saw obstacles.”Emma, coaching client
Be a bat outta hell
Bats navigate in the dark, trust their senses, and spend their days upside-down, seeing the world from another angle. They stand for shedding the old to create the new, facing fears, and passing through the dark on the way to the light. Be the bat.

Why coaching
Cut through the noise and live your own life.
Family, friends and social media all have opinions on how you should live and who you should be. My role isn't to tell you what to do. It's to help you work it out for yourself: to get curious, let go of shame and self-censoring, and explore creatively.
You can research all the external tips and tricks out there, but until you become aware and accountable for how you personally interact with your circumstances, your old patterns will not change.

This work isn't easy. Uncomfortable feelings may surface, but those swampy spaces are where change happens and the path forward shows itself.
Our world is in a state of rapid change, and we must also be adaptable, open, willing, and courageous to meet this moment.
Together we will
- Imagine and name your interests, goals and dreams
- Grapple with what gives you meaning and purpose
- Build a plan you can actually act on
- Own your fears and insecurities
- Find the courage to take the next steps
Relationships, academics, career transitions: anywhere you feel blocked is fair game.

Kind words
From people who found their path
Hillary has a unique ability to see potential where I saw obstacles. Our sessions have been a game-changer and I can’t say thank you enough. I was really unsure what career path I wanted to pursue after college, but talking with Hillary helped me realize I wasn’t tied to my major and could go in a different direction.
Hillary’s style is supportive and challenging and she’s pushed me to grow in ways I didn't expect. She’s easy to talk to, funny, and relatable and I felt comfortable right away. In a short time, she helped me see my strengths and use them to my advantage, especially in job interviews.
I reached out to Hillary because I was stuck and didn’t know what direction to go in. I just felt lost and wasn’t interested in anything. She really listened and took the time to help me figure out what I really wanted to do even if it’s different than what my friends are doing.
The guidance I got from our regular meetings helped me clarify my goals and feel confident to take real steps toward achieving them. I just felt like I knew what I wanted but couldn’t get there. I’m more motivated now and feel like I can actually trust that I know what I want and not care what people think.
Working with Hillary has helped me navigate personal challenges and gave me tools that I can use every day. She never judged what I was saying and allowed me to really speak my mind and say whatever I was feeling. It was so great to have her unwavering support and not feel like I had to figure this out by myself.
