Tiny Pulses of Hope
It’s been a while.
I won’t lie- the first 4 months of this year have been rough and at times I have felt like I was walking through cement. I’ve been so sad and distracted about the state of our country, it’s been hard to focus on anything.
But I am recently back from London, visiting my sweet son, and that has revived me. Being away from the immediacy of the news was helpful. With the advent of spring, the extended evening light, and the growing demonstrations around the country, I am feeling tiny pulses of hope.
There are lots of new people here. Here is a bit about me.
I believe that our brains are wired to remember stories. Stories shape how we are seen. They are tools of power. They move people to action. No matter what you are trying to achieve, it’s your one-of-a-kind story that piques curiosity, sparks connections & propels you forward.
As a death penalty attorney, I learned the art of storytelling and how a story- told just the right way at just the right time- can change someone’s fate and even save a life.
As a business owner, I opened a bakery (people are still talking about my 3x County Fair winning apple pie) , became an award winning garden and floral designer and co-wrote a documentary for PBS, that won the Alfred I Dupont- Columbia University Award for Excellence in Broadcast Journalism (it was a really good story.)
As an educator, I co-founded an environmental education non-profit called MEarth that taught thousands of children about their connections to the earth and ways to develop healthy habits for themselves and our planet. While we won many awards for our innovative approach to education (including one from the governor of California), out most meaningful achievement was the fact that our students learned that the story of our planet is their story too.
As a fundraiser, I raised over 5 million dollars for MEarth. Once again, my team’s success centered on our ability to tell a powerful story - and how it was important to make a difference for our children and the environment.
As a changemaker, I helped to design and oversee the building of the first LEED-certified classroom at a public school in Monterey County, as well as the construction of organic gardens, a bird sanctuary and a native plant nursery.
TODAY, as a career coach, writer and podcaster, I help my clients leverage their personal stories to find new jobs, switch careers, discover new opportunities, and find a path forward when they feel lost and at sea.
Your story- told the right way- will open doors you never knew existed
Let me help you tell your story.
OFFERINGS
I offer personalized career coaching. We can work together for one hour; for 5 sessions or for a year. I write workbooks. I have a bi-monthly podcast that combines astrology and career advice called Chart Your Career that I co-host with Heidi Rose Robbins. And, a few times a year, I collaborate with brilliant friends to create special programs and experiences.
Here’s a run-down on everything I’m currently offering…
If you’re not sure what type of career is going to make you happy—or if you already know what you want to be doing, but feel overwhelmed about how to make it happen—I’m here to help. We will do 5 sessions of coaching to get you moving quickly towards a career that you really love.
You will learn to:
Reframe stuck patterns and limiting beliefs
Approach your life as a creative, evolving process
Imagine multiple fulfilling futures (not just one “right” path)
Take action through small experiments that lower risk and increase insight
Build momentum, confidence, and resilience through community and structure
As your coach, I will push you to be gutsy and courageous. If there is a job you’d like to apply for, or are thinking about walking down a new path, I will help you stop procrastinating and ensure that it gets done.

The Next Chapter is a year-long program for people who are ready for a new season in their career and life.
Maybe you want to get a new job, pivot your business in a new direction, or switch to a completely new profession.
Or maybe you don’t want a big change.
You’d like to keep things “mostly” the same.
And yet, you still want to shake things up a bit.
You’re sensing that it’s time for something to shift.
During this program, you will:
Figure out what your next chapter looks like
Create a plan to transition from your current career and life into your new era
Actually do the plan and make your next chapter a reality
Whatever change you want to make, large or small, you’re more likely to do it when you have a coach and supportive colleagues who cheer for you, point out possibilities you never considered, listen on the tough days, and brainstorm solutions with you.
Or, book a call if you want to discuss your goals before making a decision.
If you feel that little whisper saying, “It’s time for a new season to begin…” this program for you.
Why were you born? What’s your life purpose? What are the specific steps you need to take in order to fulfill your potential?
These are big questions—and to help you find clear answers, I’ve joined forces with my dear friend and astrologer extraordinaire Heidi Rose Robbins to bring you an experience that combines astrology with strategic career coaching.
First, you’ll get an astrological reading with Heidi to illuminate your life purpose—the lessons you are meant to learn in this lifetime, and the gifts you are meant to share. She’ll talk about your present transits and progressed chart to let you know what is happening in your life now and in the near future.
Next, you’ll have a strategy session with me to take your purpose and translate it into a specific career plan that excites you. It’s mystical, practical, and totally invigorating.
Nothing feels better than having a clear direction for the year ahead. Heidi and I have helped hundreds of people find clarity and we would love to do that for you.

I know with all the upheaval in the world this may not feel like the right time to make changes. In fact it is the perfect time. What better moment to live your life on your terms. To wake up in the morning ready to give your best self to the world.
As always: if you’re interested in hiring me, if you have any questions about my services and programs, if you just want to say hello, or if you desperately want to discuss the latest movie you are watching, arrange for a free call here. Or you can reach me at: elfondiler@gmail.com
As Elizabeth Gilbert says. “The clock is ticking and the world is spinning, and we simply do not have time anymore to think small.”
This is your moment to refuse to think small. I would love to be by your side.
Sending love,
