Design a Career and Life You Don’t Need to Escape From

I empower women in federal government, GS-13 to GS-14, to land the promotions they deserve—without working longer hours |

You’ve spent years holding everything together at work and at home. Now it’s time to feel like yourself again—energized, grounded, and like you finally got your life back.

Meet Your Guide

Hi! I'm Beth Culver,

I overcame burnout twice in my federal career—and turned everything I learned into my life’s work.

Burnout sent me to the ER in 2014. Years later, I was juggling a divorce, COVID chaos, and menopause while still keeping up a demanding government role—until my body and spirit finally hit a wall. Doing the deep inner work to untangle lifelong people‑pleasing, perfectionism, and self‑doubt helped me reclaim my energy, my voice, and my sense of worth.

I eventually traded the high‑pressure office for a coaching practice devoted to helping other women in government create a career and life they don’t need to escape from—burnout‑free and ready for the promotions they deserve.

Across 40 years in the Department of Defense—specializing in intelligence and cybersecurity—I shattered barriers as a woman in STEM, led high‑stakes teams, and mentored brilliant women in some of the most demanding environments. Over and over, I saw the same pattern: success without alignment always ends in burnout.

Today, as a Burnout Recovery Coach, I bring deep empathy, compassion, and the ability to hold a safe, sacred space where your desires finally come front and center. Combined with mindset mastery, nervous‑system aware tools, and the 4C Burnout to Breakthrough Method, I help you:


- see what’s truly draining you,  

- release what no longer serves you,  

- and design a life and career that feel energizing instead of exhausting.

If you’re ready to break free from exhaustion and step into a life you love waking up to, let’s talk.
