"I didn’t even know what a portfolio career was when Brie and I started working together. Now I HAVE A FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE AND I FEEL LIKE I HAVE A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON MANAGING MY CAREER!”
— Victor Acacio, Real Estate Investor, Fitness Enthusiast, and Customer Success Manager
WE’RE MANAGING OUR CAREERS LIKE IT’s STILL 1965, ANd it’s Making US F$KING MISErABLE.
There’s a better way for us to live and work. We invest so much energy into our jobs, often at the expense of our financial, autonomy, health, and overall wellbeing. And in the process of doing so, we also end up outsourcing our financial independence and creative agency to our employers, too. It’s time for us—and for you!—to pick up the pen and write a new story of work. Polyworking is the way of the future!

A Reality CHeck and a Big FAT Permission SLip!
The Polyworker Method © is my proprietary three-part career design framework that I've built and pressure-tested over 3 years of building my own portfolio career and coaching others. It blends career strategy, product management best practices, and decision making tools that help you make important tradeoff decisions with ease.
01.
AUDIT
We figure out what isn’t working!
We start by getting a complete picture at your career as it stands today by leveraging my proprietary Portfolio Career Canvas and Professional Polycule frameworks. This gives us a sense of the full docket of your paid and invisible work and your existing career support system. Nothing gets left off the table. 02.
ARCHITECT
We make a plan to change it!
Here is when we give you the permission to stop building or maintaining a career that doesn’t match how your life is set up today. We define your strengths, skills, and interests, as well as establish what is within your power to control, and then we set goals and define boundaries (I know, scary!).03.

You'll leave with a little pep in your step because you have clear direction on your priorities, an action plan to make all happen, and a library of frameworks you can tap into at any time you need them in the future.SMART PEOPLE SAID

Hey, I’m Brie! 👋🏻
I AM HERE TO help HUMANS escape THE CAREER INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.
THREE YEARS AGO...
I got laid off from my fancy pants tech job, and realized I had spent 20 years chasing a definition of success that made me deeply unhappy. (Turns out: chasing rungs on the corporate ladder is considerably less sexy when you’re high-functioning depressed and burnt tf out.)
I DID WHAT ANY RATIONAL PROFESSIONAL WOULD DO…
I blew up my career. Then I started experimenting with coaching and podcasting before I even fully had language for what I was doing. Three years later, I have finally found a way of working that works for me! And the best part? I now get to help a bunch of talented, incredibly kind human beings do the same (just with a little more strategy and a lot less existential spiraling!).
THINGS I BELIEVE WITH MY WHOLE HEART:
Your career should support your humanity, not consume it.
A creative life is a FULL life.
Clarity comes from the doing.
You should design with heart, but build with rigor!, and last but not least!
Your environment shapes who you become.
