Founder, Creator & Strategic Advisor
Founder of Global Dream Team • UCLA • Former Warner Bros., Twentieth Century Fox & CAA
Trusted by founders, creators, entrepreneurs, and builders navigating meaningful growth and transition.
Most people don't need more information.
They need help navigating:
-
Too many priorities
-
Too many opportunities
-
Too many decisions
-
Too many responsibilities
-
Major business or life transitions
The people I work with rarely have a lack of ambition, ideas, or opportunities.
More often, they're carrying too much.
Sometimes one conversation creates more movement than months of trying to figure everything out alone.
How I Help
Strategic Thinking
Cut through noise and identify what matters most.
When everything feels important, it becomes difficult to know where to focus. Together, we'll identify the highest-leverage opportunities, priorities, and next steps.
Decision-Making
Make important decisions with greater confidence.
Whether you're evaluating opportunities, navigating a transition, launching something new, or determining where to invest your time and energy, I'll help you think clearly and move forward intentionally.
Accountability & Execution
Turn ideas into meaningful progress.
Insight is valuable. Action is what creates change. I'll help you create structure, maintain momentum, and follow through on what matters most.
Outside Perspective
Gain an outside perspective from someone who understands ambitious, unconventional paths.
I've spent the last decade working across startups, creator businesses, media, community building, partnerships, and entrepreneurship. Sometimes the most valuable thing is having someone who can see the bigger picture.
This isn't traditional coaching. My role is part strategic advisor, part thinking partner, and part accountability partner. Together, we identify what matters most, make better decisions, and create meaningful momentum.

Clarity. Confidence. Forward Motion.
The people I work with rarely have a lack of ambition, ideas, or opportunities.
More often, they're carrying too much.
Too many decisions. Too many possibilities. Too many things competing for their attention.
Through thoughtful conversation, strategic perspective, and accountability, I help people untangle complexity, identify what matters most, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Christine Gaudet
Data Engineer, Content Creator & CPG Founder
From overwhelmed and unsure where to focus → to clear direction, sustainable systems, and confident action.
“Before working with Ysabel, I felt overwhelmed. I was working full time, helping build a brand, and knew content mattered, but I didn't know where to start.
Ysabel gave me clarity, structure, and permission to pivot. The systems we built, the direction we mapped, and the support she provided genuinely changed how I feel about my work.
Now I feel confident, organized, and actually excited again. Content doesn't feel like a mountain anymore — it feels doable.”
— Christine Gaudet
India Witkin
Cultural Storyteller & Content Creator
Went from feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, and creatively stuck to building momentum, growing her audience 8×, landing paid partnerships, and generating multiple viral videos, including 1M+ views.
"Before, I felt unclear, unsure what direction to focus on, and afraid to fully put myself out there. After working with Ysabel, I felt confident, creative, energized, and supported. Her feedback, accountability, and ability to ask the right questions helped me trust myself, find my voice, and finally move forward."
— India Witkin
