Work and Love Can Go Together
That isn't acceptable to you.
But, you also don't know what to do about your inner knowing.
While money is not the most important thing for you, you want to feel financially secure. You want to be able to afford the things you desire and donate to the causes you care about.
You want to follow this quiet, inner voice. You want to feel aligned and alive. You want do do what you love.
You want to make it count.
But you might think that following your inner calling and loving the work you get to do is impossible. For instance, can you relate to any of these scenarios?
Your parents are thrilled!
You just got off the phone with your family. They are proud that you have become a government worker and happy that you are financially settled for life. But secretly, the idea of staying in your current job your whole life sounds totally depressing.
Woohoo, you have made it!
You are looking at your calendar and realize that you have more clients than you can handle. Which is great… once you figure out how to have a full client load and a life. You are so overwhelmed that you find it hard to remember why you started doing this work in the first place.
You are really competent and everyone knows it!
Which is a good thing… except you are not only doing your own work but also the work for many of your colleagues. You don't mind helping people but you are entirely swamped--and it is distracting you from finally writing the book that you have been dreaming about.
Sigh.
It is midnight and you are still at work. Again. If you are honest with yourself, you had doubts about this all along. Now that you have a Big Law firm paycheck, it is even harder to walk away from this career path.
Gulp.
You are looking at your newest sales numbers and they don't look good. Somehow, your employees don't seem to care, not even the one you just gave a raise. You wonder how you can motivate them to do their best, and how you can feel better about your business again.
If any of those situations resonate with you, then you're in the right place. Explore how my work can help you stop feeling miserable at work!

About me
Hi, I'm Dr. Louise Schriewer, the Work You Love Coach. (I used to go by Bere/Berenike and in early 2024
decided to use my middle name Louise instead.)
Once upon a time, I was a high-paid attorney working on multi-billion and million dollar cases, qualified for judicial office, about to complete my doctorate from the world's oldest university institute in international law...
... and realizing that my soul was feeling miserable (oof!).

What joyful work can look like:
"I used to think that I could either focus my energy on my marriage or my business. Through our work, I've started to realize that both are possible and I've taken steps to improve both.
Realizing that these are not mutually exclusive was a huge shift for me!"
"I worked with Louise for six months. About two years later, I can say that permanent changes have happened for me as a result of the work we did together. Today, I feel more secure and happier.
Louise assisted me in valuing myself more and I got in touch with a lot more self-esteem."
"My situation has changed radically in the year or so that Louise and I have been working together.
Not only did I get pregnant for the first time, I also moved twice, developed a closer relationship to my partner and started my blog where I write about family life and happiness."
I respect your privacy.
