"If you're looking for a coach who combines compassion, insight, and transformative clarity, I can't recommend Sheila highly enough.
She has an incredible ability to help you see what's been there all along, and guide you toward living it more fully."
Adrienne K.
"Sheila did a few things really quickly: She taught me something new about myself, gave me a tool that I can use in my day to day, and offered a sense of relief and clarity around a specific obstacle in my life.
On top of that, she's so nonjudgmental and observant that it felt natural to follow her guidance and process. I would definitely recommend booking a session with Sheila."
You're the person everyone relies on. You solve the big problems, carry the heavy responsibility, and hold it all together with professional poise.
But when you finally step through your front door, the "off" switch feels broken. The weekend arrives, but instead of a break, it feels like a different kind of shift—one filled with mental lists and a running tally of everything you haven't done yet.
You're physically there, but your mind is still "on," scanning for the next fire to put out.

The edge in your tone
You aren't trying to be harsh. But you can feel the tension in your body before you even speak. Your jaw is tight, and your shoulders are up. You find yourself with less patience than you'd like for the people who matter most.
Maybe you've noticed yourself shutting down and withdrawing just to cope, or maybe the smallest delays get a bigger reaction than they deserve. You hear your tone get sharper than you intended, you see the look on their faces, and then the guilt sets in. This isn't the version of you that you want your family or colleagues to know.
The After-Hours Reset is private coaching for midlife professionals who are tired of their work stress leaking into their personal lives.
Why you're actually exhausted
Most high-performers believe they can outwork a lack of rest. But when you operate in a constant brace, you aren't just tired—you're accumulating a recovery deficit. This is the invisible wall that keeps you from actually coming home, even after you've walked through the door.
You might recognize this loop:
- The recovery crouch: You start your week already depleted, having spent the weekend scanning for fires instead of resetting.
- The cognitive leak: You're at the dinner table, but 40% of your brain is still replaying that 2:00 PM meeting.
- The wired-and-tired paradox: You're too tense to be calm during the day, yet too mentally over-stimulated to sleep when the 3:00 AM mental loop kicks in.
- The capacity problem: You have the poise to handle a crisis at work, but zero capacity left for a simple request at home.
This isn't a personality flaw. When your nervous system is stuck in high gear, you lose the ability to choose your response. You just react.

The moments we'll master
We don't focus on generic calm.
We focus on the specific segments of your day where the wheels usually fall off:
- The doorway transition: We'll build a ritual to help you power down so you can stop replaying the day's critical comments as soon as you finish work.
- Segment intending: You'll learn to make a conscious choice about how you want to feel before you walk into your next interaction.
- Handling the chaos: When plans change, or the house feels like a second job, you'll learn to catch that physical surge of pressure before it turns into a sharp tone or an evening of withdrawal.
What Shifts in 90 Days
This isn’t about changing who you are; it’s about removing the layer of tension that's hiding your best self.
- By week 2: You'll start spotting your triggers in real-time. You'll have a simple, physical way to reset before your tone takes over.
- By day 30: The simmering stops. You'll find you have clearer language for what you need, leading to less friction and more actual connection.
- By day 90: Your nervous system finally gets the signal that it's safe to power down. You'll trust yourself to handle the chaos with a level head, and you'll find your sense of humor has finally returned.
The professional edge: Because you aren't spending your weekends recovering, Monday feels different. You'll return to work lighter, more optimistic, and more receptive to new ideas. You'll become the person who uplifts the workplace rather than the one who is just barely hanging on.
What my clients are saying
Clayton L.
“Before working with Sheila, I felt stuck, angry, frustrated, and unsure how to help my family. Now, I recognize my triggers and respond with patience instead of anger. It’s been a game-changer for all of us.”
“I know the work that you do with me has been beyond beneficial. It’s given me tools to really stop and take a moment to think before I react. I don’t do it all the time, but I’m better than I was. I would say probably 75 to 80% better than I was.
There’s still a long way to go there, and I appreciate everything that you’ve done for me, and just for being there.”
Dean S.
"I had the pleasure of working with Sheila Williams for a coaching session, and it had a profound impact on me.
Right from the start, Sheila showed incredible empathy and care, listening deeply, asking thoughtful questions, and creating a space where I felt truly heard and supported.
What struck me most was how Sheila reframed my thinking. She helped me realize that the values I hold dear, my core values, aren't only for how I treat my work and others; they also apply to how I treat myself. This shift in perspective opened my eyes and has stayed with me."
James F.
"I have really enjoyed my coaching work with Sheila. She has been extremely helpful in both professional and personal areas of my life. She is skilled at identifying the specifics of a topic where one might feel stuck, and I experienced a surprising mindset shift after one of her processes. For me, it was bringing up limiting beliefs, and her approach was extremely beneficial. Her strategic suggestions for developing my business helped me gain more clarity about my offering, without being overwhelming. I would highly recommend Sheila to anyone looking to improve their confidence and well-being in their life."
