Is This You?
You have trouble getting started
Even when something matters to you, actually beginning can feel impossible.
You have too much to manage.
Your responsibilities, ideas, and to-dos pile up until everything feels like too much at once.
You struggle to follow through
You start with good intentions, but life gets in the way before you finish.
One setback can throw off your whole day
A criticism you weren't ready for, a difficult moment, or an unexpected change can make it hard to get back on track.
I have always seemed to have half a dozen or more projects on the go... a graveyard of strong ideas that I abandoned... Not because I was incapable, but because I had never found a sustainable way to manage my creativity. Rebecca helped change that... Since working with her, I’ve completed eight 15-minute scripts... while still keeping enough creative energy for my other projects."

How It Works
1. Understand what’s getting in the way
Together, we look at what’s not working and experiment with different ways to make what’s been hard more manageable.
2. Find strategies that fit
Practical tools for task initiation, focus, emotional regulation and follow-through — built for your brain, not against it."
3. Move forward with confidence and support
We use what we’ve built in real life, adjust what isn’t working, with support and accountability every step of the way.
Rebecca Rapoport-Cole, MM, ACC — Executive Function + Life Coach, Trauma-Informed
I was always meant to work as a self-employed creative — and for years, I felt like I was fighting my own brain, lost in anxiety and rumination as I tried to figure out how to maintain my art, independence, and find the stability I needed to be able to breathe.
Eventually, I set out to find a way to build a life that held all of me — my art, my need for stability, my non-traditional path — and everything I needed it to, including approaches and processes unique to how my brain worked.
What I built for myself — systems that actually fit how I think and need to live, and the self-trust and resourcefulness to use them — is exactly what I now work on with my clients.
I’m an ICF-ACC credentialed Trauma-Informed Executive Function and Life Coach with 15+ years of coaching and entrepreneurial experience, including experience at a leading neurodivergent career coaching practice.
Based in New York City and working online, I coach neurodivergent and creative adults and teens, including ADHD and autistic clients, on career, life direction, and executive function skills — helping them understand what’s getting in their way, utilize their strengths, and build a life that allows them to thrive.
You shouldn’t have to choose between a life that works and a life that feels like yours.
Not Sure Coaching Is Right for You?
"I’ve tried everything. Why would this be different?"
Most approaches tackle mindset or systems — never both. We work on what’s getting in your way while building systems designed for how you actually think.
“What if my coach doesn’t understand me?”
Most approaches address the mindset or the systems — rarely both. This quiets the imposter voice first, then builds systems designed for how you actually work — not one-size-fits-all advice.
“What if I get stuck and don’t know the next step?”
That’s exactly why I’m here. We experiment, adjust, and figure out what works together — with support and accountability along the way.
