Live Your Purpose

Introduction

With nearly 30 years of experience in large companies, I’ve had the privilege of leading teams of all sizes, creating innovative products, building online communities, and tackling complex problems from strategy to execution.

In 2023, I became a Certified Professional Coach, and in 2025, I co-authored the first volume of Living With Purpose by Dr. Akhtar Badshah. These experiences have given me the chance to live my purpose more fully and find joy through deep listening, connecting people, and creating meaningful experiences.

Coaching is extremely rewarding, and I love to support clients on their life journey through both personal and professional evolution and pivots. I focus on the whole person as they navigate times of change, and I believe coaching can bring value at every stage of life—from starting a career to planning for retirement. Every moment of change holds the potential for growth and new possibilities.

Testimonials

“Working with Vida helped me unfold the layers of what makes a person – an intelligent, learning, emotional, human. When we started, I wasn’t sure what to expect but by the time I felt “done,” I grew confidence. Because of this time, no matter what job I have or what I’m doing – I know who I am, and I have the answers to go forward.

Vida helped me search within and pull myself away from the thoughts, noise, or whatever word we want to use to describe the excuses we accept. I’m so grateful to have spent time with Vida – she changed my life because she disrupted my normal patterns of thinking. I am open and ready for anything that comes my way.”

~Sarah H.

“Vida is an incredible coach. The way she holds space with kindness, compassion, and expertise, while also holding you accountable, is second to none. Her presence is warm and nurturing, yet deeply professional -- the perfect combination to feel both supported and inspired to grow.

Since working with Vida, I’ve gained a new level of clarity and compassion for myself and my life. I now approach my challenges with a sense of understanding rather than judgment, and I hold myself accountable in ways that truly create change. After every session, I could see my situation more clearly and take meaningful, confident steps forward.”

~Cassandra M.
