The Aligned Path
A Soft Space for High-Achieving Women Seeking Work/Life Harmony
You’ve checked every box, done everything you were "supposed" to do.
You earned a great education.
You have climbed to the top of your field.
You are the very definition of “successful”.
But at the end of the day, when the emails stop and the meetings end, there's a quiet whisper in your heart.
"There has to be more than this."
It’s time to pay attention to that whisper.
Does This Sound Like You?
Do you find yourself:
Longing for the creative pursuits you've put on hold?
Struggling to remember the last time you truly focused on yourself?
Feeling guilty whenever you're not being "productive"?
Missing the woman you used to be before your career demanded so much from you?
What No One Tells High-Achieving Women
Your ambition doesn't have to cost you your soul. You don't have to choose between your career and your joy. Between achievement and alignment. Between serving others and carving out time just for you.
In fact, the most powerful women I know have discovered a profound truth: When you tap into your true desires, a rich and meaningful life beyond your wildest dreams is possible.
What if you could:
take that painting/writing/dance class you’ve been saying you’d take for years?
say “no” and mean it?
take time off and go on vacation without shame or guilt?
feel more peaceful and at ease?
connect with like-minded women who will cheer you on?
“Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that isn’t really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.”

Meet Your Guide Charisse M. Williams
For years, I was laser-focused on getting an Ivy League education, going to law school, passing the bar, rising in nonprofit leadership to Executive Director and President, and, more recently, launching a successful coaching business.
Over the years, there were times that I felt absolutely lost.
That’s because my self-worth had become tightly bound to my professional achievements, the next big fundraising milestone, or the number of clients I could secure. That inner voice, constantly measuring my value by what I could accomplish or produce felt like a heavy weight.
Over time, I’ve learned to step back and ask myself:
What do I truly want my life to look like?
How do I reconnect with who I am beyond the role of “executive,” “coach,” or “founder”?
For me, the first step is to pause. It’s hard to hear your inner voice if you are in constant, frenetic motion. Yoga, meditation, journaling and personal retreats help me get still.
I love live music and art, so getting those activities on my calendar, “Yellow Time”, brings me joy and inspiration. One of my passions is a love of learning, so traveling, studying languages, and reading light me up. I even tried improv comedy, feeling alive in the novelty and spontaneity of each new interaction. Then there are the really simple pleasures like a walk in nature and leisurely catch-ups with family and friends.
These are my anchors—the things that remind me of my sense of connection and joy beyond any title or accomplishment.
With Aligned Path, I have packaged up all the practices, tools and mindsets that help me get realigned to share with you.
I’m on a mission to help other high-achieving women leaders find harmony between career ambition and personal fulfillment. In this program, we take a meaningful step back together, not only envisioning the life you want but creating lasting change toward a life that fulfills you on every level.
Through Aligned Path, I bring my 20+ years of leadership experience, my background in executive coaching, and the hard-won wisdom that joy and meaning come from a deeper connection to ourselves and our community. Together, we’ll honor both your ambition and your need for balance, guiding you toward a life that’s as inspiring and abundant as the career you’ve built.
A Message from Charisse
Stories of Transformation Working With Charisse
“For the past few months, I have been working with Charisse for executive-level coaching. Her persistence that I be specific and descriptive in defining my vision was game-changing. With her guidance, I found myself breaking down my goals into small steps and achieving them ahead of schedule. I am now starting to notice that even when I'm not taking specific action, things are starting to align to make my vision a reality. Her approach was practical, supportive, and empowering. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to gain clarity, focus, and momentum.” -Ashley D.
“Charisse helps you find a realistic path that includes self-care and self-respect that is uniquely designed to fit who you are, where you are, and what is most important to you. I was validated, heard, and understood and Charisse completely met me where I was with a calming, peaceful presence.” -R. Caputo
“I found the peer-support component to be incredibly valuable. The opportunity to connect with other women leaders who provided personalized advice and support was transformative for my personal and professional development. One of the most inspiring highlights of the program was witnessing the incredible growth and transformation among the other women in the circle. Throughout the sessions, I saw women make bold, life-changing decisions.” -R. Williams
“There were a number of things that changed over time. The most significant thing was my mindset. Rather than coming from a place of - ‘why is this happening to me?’ I was able to shift and realize that I had the ability to manage and direct my reality and circumstances in a way that aligned with my values and to bring myself the joy, peace, and rest that I have been craving for so long.”-M.J
