Ex-Figma PM leverages AI to run a six-figure coaching biz with zero burnout
A former Big Tech program manager at Meta, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Figma quit her $300K-a-year job in early 2024. She left not because of burnout but to build her own business on her terms.
She now helps tech pros land jobs via live cohorts, content, and brand partnerships. Her audience tops 300,000 across platforms—all without a full-time team.
The secret? AI tools that give her back 10-15 hours every week.
She shared her must-have AI lineup:
Fathom records Zoom meetings, highlights key moments, and auto-generates action items. It integrates with HubSpot to sync info to each contact. Saves her 3-4 hours weekly.
Notion is her business operating system. She organizes feedback, revenue dashboards, launches, and calendars all in one place. The AI features summarize notes and write agendas. Saves 3 hours a week.
Fyxer drafts 80% of her emails, learning her style to handle onboarding, outreach, and thank-yous. Saves 5 hours weekly.
Custom ChatGPT rewrites students’ résumés using a formula that highlights impact and aligns with job descriptions. Speeds up coaching by an hour per student.
AI also powers content creation with tailored prompts for LinkedIn, newsletters, and video scripts, freeing up 4 hours a week.
She sums it up:
"AI hasn’t made me less human. It’s made me more focused, present, and available for work I love."
Her advice for tech workers eyeing a pivot:
"You don’t have to burn out to build something great. All the experience you’ve gained won’t go to waste."
