Stress and Performance Coaching

Stress and burnout are not weakness. They’re signals that your current strategies have hit their edge. Performance isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about aligning pressure with presence.

You don’t need more hacks or quick resets. You need the right levers. The modern world is wired to overload your system — the skill is knowing what to tune out and what to lean into. My coaching framework helps you see where stress builds, where energy leaks, and how to steady yourself under pressure.

We start with a Stress Audit — digital habits, sleep, calendar, inner voice, boundaries, nutrition, movement, and purpose. From there, we build a focused plan around the shifts that move the needle most, designing a structure that turns awareness into traction.

Lever Up Your System

Hacks = quick tips with short half-life.

Levers = high-impact inputs (sleep window, digital load, weekly cadence, boundaries) that change multiple downstream outputs (focus, mood, performance, perception of self) when adjusted systematically.

INTRODUCTION TO LEVERS BELOW, Performance cant be easily defined it has many levers to it. this isnt hacks

Hacks give quick hits. They fade fast.
Levers change systems. When you shift the right inputs, everything downstream — focus, mood, energy, clarity — starts to move.

Why Work With Me

Hi! Im Grayson (insert masters degreed more fact driven, tell ppl why to hire me) I’m a trauma-trained psychotherapist and men’s coach with a background in high-performance sport and entrepreneurship. I help men cut through overdrive, rebuild focus, and create sustainable performance without burnout.

My work blends psychological insight with practical accountability, helping you regulate stress, identify pressure points, and work smarter instead of harder. Together we turn insight into structure—habits, boundaries, and systems that support consistency and recovery.

You’ll get structure without rigidity, clarity without clichés, and a process that connects emotional depth to real-world execution. My training at CIIS and experience at The Meadows keep the work grounded in both evidence and empathy, so progress is steady and results last. (insert training of 2000 clinical hours sell it more.) (Link to my story and do a very condensed version)

  • “I’ve never been big on emotions, and my wife said I’d turned into a brick wall. Grayson helped me see what was really going on and why hard conversations kept blowing up. Things are different now. I actually hear her without my preconceived judgement.”

    -D.J., 42, Nashville

  • “I used to hit a wall every afternoon and just doom-scroll. After a month of sessions I’m still tired sometimes, just not wiped out. I’m finishing work on time and actually cooking dinner again.”

    — K. R., 34, Seattle

  • “I went in thinking I needed a pep-talk about my career. We ended up digging into what I actually give a damn about. Two weeks later I told my boss I’m moving to the strategy team. A bit Scary. But the right kind of scary.”

    — L. M., 29, Miami

  • “First coach who got both trauma and performance.”

    — D., 37, Tampa

  • “Money always felt like a scoreboard to me. We reframed it around freedom and impact. I raised my freelance rates and didn’t spiral into guilt. Still feels weird, but way lighter.”

    — A.D., 37, Denver
