Welcome to Dear EverMore — today we’re highlighting the career story of Noa Stisin, one of our beta users. Noa founded her coaching company, Rewriting Childhood, where she helps parents, caregivers, and teachers recondition their ideas about childhood. In her coaching practice, she helps them learn to nurture a kind inner voice for themselves and the children they are raising.

We wanted to bring Noa on to talk about her career, how she went from working in corporate HR to starting her coaching business, and how important it is for everyone to discover their inner child so we can go from reacting to responding intentionally. We honestly had the best time talking with Noa and we hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did!

Some of her career advice:

• It happens in the workplace, too — when we get triggered, we end up responding at the age of when we were hurt. Noa mentions how she’s seen this happen a lot in the workplace between managers, leaders, and colleagues we work with — “they’re talking to me from their 7 year old self and I’m reacting from my 7 year old self”
• When having the hard conversation — Noa shares how important it is to understand yourself first, like how your nervous system is reacting, and being open and honest. If you need space from the conversation, consider saying “I’m not feeling very safe right now, and I need to take a little time to come back to this.” More often than not, people completely understand.
• You have so much to give the world — Noa initially went into HR because she really enjoyed helping leaders and employees work better together. However, she later questioned, “what am I doing with my life?” after having her daughter. Through listening to her gut and learning more about herself, she realized how much parents, teachers, and caregivers needed support to better support the children they are part of raising.
• Why it’s really helpful to work with a coach — Noa shared how impactful it’s been for her to work with a coach, especially getting the “outside perspective” to know herself better. Whether it’s 1:1 or with a tool (like EverMore), getting a fresh perspective and someone to hold you accountable can propel your growth.
