Hi! I’m Sherry Ezhuthachan. I’m a Coach and an Idea Doula.

Across my life, I’ve made big visions come to life - personally and professionally. I love the early, ambiguous, and ambitious stages of a new project.

I call myself an Idea Doula because my expertise is in the holistic process of ‘birthing’ ideas and projects. In the corporate world, you might call me a creative catalyst or strategic partner. I help you grow as a human and a leader, so you can finally move from idea to execution.

Bringing an idea to life is a multi-layered, emotional journey. My holistic approach supports your entire experience as you bring your vision to life.

I describe my coaching style as a nest. My clients feel calm, safe, held, and seen, but I will also want you to take the risk to stretch and fly. Above all, I trust and hold you as the expert on your life and lived experience.

My coaching is relational and sits inside an intersectional framing - aware of how interwoven systems of power show up externally and can also harm us from within our minds. Ultimately, I care most about you finding the inner freedom to act on your ideas.

Get clarity. End overwhelm. Pursue your big ideas.

Starting something new inherently means hitting obstacles and grey areas that feel risky.

You might be coming up against your internal demons and experiencing doubt and overwhelm.

You might be getting stuck in your head and need a thought partner to game out the scenarios, and co-create a path forward.

You might have a plan and just need someone to walk with you and hold you accountable to taking action on your dreams.

You need someone to hold your vision and guide you towards your own clarity and wisdom.

Let’s connect and make your vision a reality.

Individuals

As a coach for individuals and solopreneurs. I can help you find clarity on your ideas and path forward, as well as work with you to build a steady rhythm of progress toward your goals. This includes pursuing those secret side hustles and passion projects, defining and refining your ideas, and launching your business. 

If you are interested in coaching please schedule a complimentary intro session or message me directly.

I believe your boldest self-expression shines when you use your gifts and unique lived experiences to reimagine the world.

My life’s work is helping others access their own self-expression and emerge in their fullness. Hatch & Bloom is the embodiment of my own story, sitting at the intersection of my talents and my path to self-expression.

The world I imagine, is built by the ideas that exist inside of our personal experiences and outside of the mainstream, and outside the reach of oppressive systems. 

I believe work can be a deeply personal form of self expression. I see self-expression manifesting in people’s passion projects, side hustles, and secret business ideas. Without support, it’s easy to lose focus on these precious ideas.

Hatch & Bloom offers holistic support for those ideas. Especially for the work of womxn and people of color creating the future they envision, & the value-aligned organizations that support that future.

You can also learn more about my personal values.

I believe your boldest self-expression shines when you use your gifts and unique lived experiences to reimagine the world. Your life has taught you something invaluable that can guide and serve others that will come after you.

I believe freedom of self-expression demands freedom from systematic oppression. So much of our pain comes from not being allowed to be fully who we are. I imagine a liberated world as one where every individual has the means and ability to discover and pursue their natural gifts.

I believe your work can be a deeply personal form of self expression. The world needs your unique expression of the universe (or Nature or God or the word that feels most comfortable for you), especially if your work originates from your lived experiences outside of the mainstream.

I love hearing about people’s leaps of faith - the risks they took to live in alignment with their values.

The moments where they diverged from the standard “checkbox” path of life. They finally decided to take their passions seriously, or they took a career break, or even transitioned into a whole new career. They took the risk. A values-based, from-the-gut decision. The one that rarely makes sense to their families, communities or the world, but resonates deep inside of them.

I’ve taken a few risks like that in my life - career transitions, career break, entrepreneurship - and I’m so glad I did. Slowly removing yet another false limitation so I can live closer to my fullest expression. It’s thrilling and scary - a combination I now recognize as growth.

I love that feeling. I always encourage others to take the risk, grow through the fear, and experience their fullest expression.

I support people and organizations in taking that leap. Especially if you’re someone that our world marginalizes. If that’s you, let’s talk, please. The world need’s your perspective and vision.

Some fun facts about me:

My mini-me, Sherita, that traveled the world with me!

• I live in Philadelphia. Before Philly, I lived in California, Georgia, Virginia, and New Jersey.

• Between Georgia and California, I traveled around the world for 18 months! You can read the naive (and personally cringe-inducing) reflections of my younger self on my old travel blog.

• Before Philly, I lived the digital nomad life in Bali and India for 18 months.

• My curiosity is insatiable - I am a life-long learner with a growth mindset.

• I love hearing people’s stories. There are as many ways to live life as there are people, and lessons to learn from everyone. We are such fascinating creatures.

• I’m passionate about personal development, mental health, the environment, and social justice - especially around race, gender, sexuality, and ability.

• I’m also a photographer and mixed media artist- check out my portfolio site.

• My brain is kind of ambidextrous - I can be both strictly analytical/ordered and wildly imaginative/creative. I deeply love both the arts and the sciences.

• I love deep 3AM heart-to-heart conversations, riding motorcycles on curvy roads, nurturing through cooking, every form of the arts, learning new crafts, and every single thing about dogs (they are literal angels on earth!).

• I once had a side gig as a mobile DJ. Holiday parties were the best, tween birthday parties were the worst.

• Two important communities in my life are StartingBloc for social innovation and Burning Man for radical self-expression. I especially love when they overlap!
