Introducing Pocket Coaching with ’Tine 💬✨

Published 7 months ago • 2 min read

Hey Reader —

If you’ve ever thought, “I just wish I could ask someone who gets it,” you’re not alone.

So many of the Black women I work with aren’t looking for another webinar or coaching program. What they really want is in-the-moment support — someone they trust to help them move through doubt, decisions, and growth with clarity.

Honestly? You’re not the only one who’s said it. More than once, a client has told me, “I wish I could carry a little ’Tine in my pocket!”

So I built a way to do exactly that.

Pocket Coaching with ’Tine is a monthly voice note membership that gives you direct access to me via Slack.

For just $197/month, you can message me with your questions, mindset blocks, or “what do I do next?” moments — and I’ll respond within 1 business day with tailored advice, encouragement, or next steps.

💛 No overthinking. No waiting for your next session. Just real support, when you need it, from someone who gets it.

Whether you're building a business, navigating a job transition, or trying to lead without burning out — you deserve coaching that meets you where you are.

Let’s keep you moving — with clarity, confidence, and care.

With love and strategy,

In her article, “The Importance of Career Coaching for Black Women,” my colleague Mercedes Swan delves into the unique challenges Black women face in the workplace and the transformative power of tailored career coaching. She emphasizes the necessity of guidance that understands our distinct experiences, stating:

“As Black women, we have to be so careful about how we move. One bad manager, one bad job, one bad move, and our career could take years to rebuild.”

Mercedes shares her journey and the pivotal role coaching plays in empowering Black women to navigate their careers with confidence and clarity.

Hey there love! My name is Mercedes Swan, the Career Love Coach, and my passion is providing career coaching for Black Women! Through the years I've helped countless Black women make the pivot into their passion-driven dream jobs and get exactly what they want out of their careers.

Hey Reader, There are moments in life that split us wide open—not because we’re weak, but because we’ve been holding too much for too long. And still, we keep showing up. But survival? That can’t be the whole story. For so many Black women, we wear the word “resilience” like armor. We keep pushing forward, even when the path is heavy with silence, shame, or systems that were never built to support us. But there’s a truth we don’t talk about enough: healing doesn’t come through hiding. It...

Hey Reader, Innovation isn’t just about tech or strategy—it’s about people. Especially when those people have carried trauma, shouldered burdens, and still dared to build. We’re shifting how we create. Too often, design and innovation happen in boardrooms disconnected from the realities of the people they serve. But Black women know better—because we’ve lived it.

But here’s the truth: being “stuck” doesn’t mean you’re failing. More often, it means you’re standing at the edge of reinvention. That pause can be the very thing...
