Do work that matters
without sacrificing
your life, which also matters.
With all the demands and uncertainty, it’s easy to lose sight of yourself, and hard to build (let alone, sustain) the life you really want.
Meaningful impact, career growth, strong relationships, reliable finances, greater energy, a place to call home.
You can create any or all of that — and other things that matter to you.
What it takes is a little rewiring. For the better. For good.
Welcome home, friend. You’re in the right place.
You love being an aid worker but, lately, it’s been feeling a bit like this:
Your job’s demands keep driving you to burn out. No amount of leave or R&R ever feels enough.
Your to-do list is endless. Inbox zero? Yeah, right.
You feel like an imposter at work. And back home, when people call you a “hero”? Ugh.
You’ve run on empty for too long, neglecting your own well-being and desires.
Your love life? Either non-existent or “complicated”.
And when someone asks “Where’s home?”, you shrug. It’s everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
Maybe you’re stuck in a job that no longer lights you up, or in transition, unsure what’s next.
The constant exposure to extreme suffering has dulled your compassion. Or left you with invisible injuries you cannot put into words.
Been there. Done that.
Sweeping it all under the rug doesn’t work.
If nothing changes, the exhaustion and disconnection don’t just fade — they build and they can come back with a vengeance.
It doesn’t have to be this way. You deserve better. Your mission deserves better.
Imagine starting every day with the ability to get clear on what truly matters — energized, grounded, and in charge of your life.
With the ability to handle work with confidence, to make space for what (and who) you love, and feel proud of how you’re showing up — both on and off duty. Coaching helps you make that possible.
Paulette, aid worker in Nigeria
“Feeling severely burnt out and struggling as a team lead in a very unpredictable space, Yasmina helped me review my approaches to navigate life harmoniously. I got the life balance, promotion and raise I wanted, while taking better care of myself. I cannot say enough good things about this coaching journey.”
Muath, aid worker in Jordan
“This has been a truly unique, life-changing experience for me. It has really helped me to reflect deeply on who I am, my values and my goals. I developed a clear vision and have what I need to reorganize my life accordingly.”
Hi, I’m Yas :)
Aid worker and certified life coach.
I’ve been serving in the humanitarian and development sector for over 12 years, including several L3 emergencies. I care so deeply about this sector and its impact and I can’t stand to see how many brilliant, hard-working, dedicated aid workers put their personal lives on the backburner because of this work.
Trained in trauma-sensitive techniques, I’m on a mission to help ensure every single aid worker:
has the tools to manage the hardships that come with this life
figures out exactly what they want professionally and personally
makes it happen with clarity, rooted in values, and without burning out.
The Rewired for Good process is tailored specifically to fit aid worker life:
applied in some of the harshest duty stations, in HQs and everything in-between
tested against some of life’s most complex and stressful challenges, including garden-variety office BS.
developed for aid workers with busy schedules, as well as those constantly shifting conditions and time zones
adapted to all levels of responsibility and specialties — from junior to leader, from support roles to frontline operations.
It’s a simple, tested approach to:
quickly help you regain a sense of control across any priority area of your life
and bring your work, relationships, health and/or overall life achievements to the next level.
We know your time for self-care is limited. So we don’t waste it.
We focus on real, in-depth change, aligned with your values and life goals.
For good.
THIS IS HOW WE REWIRE:
-
1. We address your immediate needs
Whatever you want urgent help with — toxic office, overwhelm, grief, self-confidence issues… — we address it head-on. You don’t invest your time today in the hopes that maybe you’ll feel better in the long-run. Every week, you walk away with clarity, and concrete, implementable tools, to face whatever is causing the most pain or slowing you down that very week.
-
2. We get clear on the bigger picture
This is the space to define what you want and create with clarity the next, bigger, better vision for your life. A life that feels like you, that looks like you, that you own fully and that you don’t have to quit over and over again. And then? No more spinning: we move decisively towards it.
-
3. We boost your capacities while making it happen
As you implement the changes you want to see, we strengthen your capacity to think and feel powerfully, to get to know yourself deeply, and to appreciate yourself unconditionally. This will open up the world for you in ways you’ve never experienced.
-
4. We monitor, evaluate and adjust in real time
We don’t just hope for the best: we make it inevitable. Every week, progress is monitored precisely, we evaluate together periodically, reassessing and adjusting as needed. We are guided by the outcomes you want, not cookie-cutter box-ticking.
Coaching sessions can be carried out in English , French or Spanish.
We all get 168 hours per week. And we, aid workers, have a tendency to give most of them to others.
Reclaiming just one hour a week for your own well-being has a compounding, exponential, positive ripple effect on how you show up for the rest of your life.
Coaching helps you regain energy, clarity, and purpose. You learn to stop questioning your worth or your next step. You learn how to feel at home and grounded — no matter where you’re stationed or what’s going on.
The longer we postpone investing in feeling better and focusing on self-care too, the more we delay living life on our own terms and the more our capacity to have meaningful impact is affected.
Maie, aid worker in Mauritania
“Having experienced different coaching styles over the years, I can confidently say that my work with Yasmina was unique. For the first time, a coach helped me touch on the deepest parts of my relationship with myself, which is the foundation for everything else, and it has had a really positive ripple effect on how I interact with the world.”
Claire, aid worker in France
“I had a lot of prejudice against coaching but I wish I had done it earlier with Yasmina. In just a few weeks, I managed to do things I thought I wasn't ready to do. It wasn't always easy but somehow she managed to make me overcome some of my fears and I am truly grateful for that. She is a skilled listener and she pushes you to your limits in a good way, so that in the end you can see things in new ways and make better informed decisions.”
