I help those feeling disconnected from their identities, careers, desires, and loved ones to reconnect with and find clarity in these areas, so that you can finally turn the page of your story and experience a midlife awakening.

Coaching for High-Performing Executives, Leaders, and Solopreneurs

Connect to self. Connect to others. Connect to greatness.

You’re going through a stressful life change, and it’s bleeding into your work.

Maybe it’s because you woke up one day and realized you no longer recognize who you are, or why you’re in your current role.

Somewhere among the roles you’ve had and the expectations you’ve managed, you’ve lost touch with your identity and your truest, deepest desires.

Or maybe you’re experiencing change and turmoil at home. The bond you had with your significant partner, spouse, and other close relationships is threading.

Worst of all, you feel disconnected from your own future and where you're headed with your life.

You're thinking... Am I having a midlife crisis? A career plateau? What is this really about, and how can I get to the other side?






You're feeling disconnected, foggy, stuck, conflicted.

What if the story that's just outside of your grasp is that of a midlife awakening?

Being a certified executive coach with years of experience as a former nurse with a PhD — teaching and mentoring, developing clinical and research expertise in the biology of learning and behavior — provides me with deep knowledge of how we as people navigate those dark and wandering forest paths of our lives; our careers, our families, and even our own identities. 

I too have been lost in those woods. But I’ve since come to know them. Befriend them. Learn from them. They have so much to teach us about identity, strength, resilience, and connection.

Now, I help executives, founders, leaders, and solopreneurs develop clarity in their career paths and reconnect with their identities, potentials, visions, and loved ones.


Let’s be curious together.

Hi, I’m Aaron.

Awakening to false narratives, worn-out coping strategies, and baggage — the things that are getting between you and your greatness.

Experiencing those "breakthrough" moments when you realize your own wisdom — the truest, most authentic version of yourself that has always been there.

Hearing yourself stop mid-sentence and say, "Wow. I've never thought of that. That changes everything."

Making peace with your waring self, and moving forward to what really brings you joy, purpose, and meaning.

Setting aside the answers and stories you have in favor of discovering the questions and possibilities that free you.


A midlife awakening means...

So, What exactly is a midlife awakening?

“Courage is applying curiosity in the face of resistance.”
~ Aaron Tabacco, PhD

Reconnect with, and renew your greatness and potential.

Feel peaceful and calm instead of always stressed and “under pressure.”

Finetune your emotional and spiritual IQ through self-awareness.

Process situations and interactions more effectively and more quickly.

Develop a deeper sense of alignment with yourself, the world, and where you’re going.

Make the decisions that will transform aspiration into reality.

Arrive at clarity around your deepest desires, goals, and ambitions.
