You’ve been on the fence about a career decision for longer than anybody cares to admit.
It’s time to make a call. The Decision Hour uses a proven system to help you:
→ Admit what’s not working
→ Name what you actually want
→ Take your first clear step forward
Or keep reading for more details.
YOU DON’T NEED MORE TIME TO THINK.
YOU NEED TO MAKE A DECISION.
Here’s Why…
You look successful, but it doesn’t feel that way.
You’ve got the degree, the title, and the salary that lets you breathe easier. Your LinkedIn looks impressive. But inside? You’re exhausted from pretending everything’s fine.
There’s something you want to do, a change you want to make, that you’ve been circling for months. Maybe years.
So why is it so hard to just make a decision?
Because you tell yourself you need to “figure things out first.”
That now isn’t the right time. That you need more clarity before you can move. That you have to wait until you have more time, more money, and the ideal conditions to make a move.
Like I said, you don’t need more time to think. You need a decision.
HOW ONE HOUR CHANGED EVERYTHING
Let me tell you about a client I’ll call Brenda.
She came to me stuck between two career paths—both in law, both legitimate options.
The first path was more of the same, which wasn’t terrible. If Brenda stuck with her current career path, she would continue to afford her lifestyle, pay her bills, and start her family with some security.
Brenda’s second path felt scary: a dream to start her own practice. She knew she could secure at least 2 clients immediately, which would give her some financial runway.
If things worked out from there, Brenda would make more money than she’d ever get at her current firm and design her own version of work-life balance… on her own terms and timeline. But that path was uncertain. There were no guarantees.
So our friend Brenda had been weighing these choices for months, running through pros and cons lists, asking everyone she knew for advice, even catastrophizing scenarios that always ended with moving back home with her folks.
This rumination loop kept Brenda stuck, so she avoided the big decision with a laundry list of “let me just do this first” tasks.
Once I sat down with Brenda, we created a rubric—a simple framework for evaluating her options based on what actually mattered to her. Not what looked good on paper. Not what her family expected. Not what felt “safe.” Not what every “entrepreneur” on social media was telling her to do.
What she genuinely wanted.
Just 40 minutes later, Brenda knew exactly what to do. Not because I told her which path to choose, but because we built a system that made the answer clear.
That’s what the Decision Hour does. It gets you unstuck.
YOU DESERVE A CONCRETE ROADMAP FOR YOUR NEXT MOVE PLUS….
Here’s what we’ll do together in our Decision Hour:
Step 1 - Name the real problem underneath the presenting problem.
You might come in saying "I need a new job," but we'll uncover what's actually driving that need. Is it misalignment? Burnout? Internalized oppression telling you you're not doing enough? Or is it your inner knowing? Let’s find out.
Step 2 - Build your decision-making rubric
Most people stay stuck because they don't have a clear framework for evaluating their options. We'll create one based on what actually matters to you, not what “should” matter.
Step 3 - Map your first "next right step."
Not a 10-page action plan you'll never use. One clear, doable step that moves you toward what you actually want - not what you think you should want. You’ll leave with relief that feels better than a day at the spa, clarity that lasts, and a clear picture of exactly what your next steps are.
REAL RESULTS FROM REAL WOMEN OF COLOR
What changed the most for me is that I can dream new dreams without having to have everything figured out, and that any actions I take to create something are rooted in my beliefs about my worth and inherent value as a woman of color. Toya’s approach is straightforward, practical, and organized. She pays close attention to what you share and creatively uses her understanding of you to help develop an actionable plan.
From day one Toya hit me with what I needed to hear: ‘Remember you provide value, you don’t prove it.’ That reminder shifted everything for me. I show up every day confident, rooted, and knowing my worth. If you’re a woman of color thinking about working with her, go ahead and do it. Give yourself this kind of support before you hit burnout.”
Toya has been a steadfast support to me over the years, guiding me through the toughest challenges in my therapy practice. As a coach, she consistently helps me see possibilities where I once saw none. She’s streamlined complex tasks with smart automations, clarified the exact steps to reach my goals, and kept me accountable.
For decades, I attempted to adopt constructs and models that were “supposed” to guarantee success, but they never fit. I would gain traction, and monetary wins, only to fall back into overwhelm, self-doubt, and burnout. But when I started working with Toya, she unveiled how internalized racism and societal conditioning were influencing my choices and negatively impacting my ability to thrive. She then helped me shape a sustainable business model that honors who I am, my values, and the life I desire to create for myself.
Toya Gavin is a writer and certified life coach for women of color who’ve made it by everyone else’s standards and are ready to define their own. Before transitioning into coaching, Toya was a prosecutor and law firm founder, guiding hundreds of people through tough legal situations.
Toya holds a Juris Doctorate from the George Washington University Law School and a bachelor of science in Industrial Engineering from Rutgers University. She is licensed to practice law in New York and New Jersey.
Toya’s work as a coach is informed her personal experiences with internalized oppression throughout her career journey and by numerous teachers including Dr. Joy DeGruy, Dr. Thema Bryant, Dr. E.J.R. David, Layla F. Saad, Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, Dr. Anneliese Singh, Dr. Brene Brown, and Toya’s sisters, aunts, friends, and mother.
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
How do I know if this session is for me?
This session is for you if:
You’re accomplished on paper but feel empty inside – and you’re tired of pretending everything is fine.
You know what you want (or at least have an idea) but keep telling yourself “I need to figure myself out first” or “now’s not the right time.”
You’ve tried it all – journaling, vision boarding, resolutions—you’re still stuck in the same job, the same patterns, the same exhaustion.
You’re successful in a career that’s slowly killing you, and you’re starting to wonder if there’s another way.
You want something different but worry it’s unrealistic – that it won’t pay enough, or you’ll have to start over, or you’re too old/tired/behind to make a change now.
You’re tired of performing excellence for people who will never see you as excellent, no matter how many degrees you earn or promotions you get.
You’re done chasing markers of success that leave you feeling more depleted than fulfilled.
If you read that list and thought “yes, that’s me to any of the above” – you’re exactly who this session is designed for.
Do I need to get my sugar honey iced tea together first before I can do this?
No, you don’t. This belief—that you need to be “ready” before you deserve support—is exactly what keeps you stuck. You don’t need everything figured out. You just need to be willing to tell the truth about where you are. That’s it.
Can I really afford this right now?
Girl, are we really having this conversation right now? Yes. Of course you can. The real question is: what’s it costing you NOT to do this? If you stay stuck for another year – in the wrong job, avoiding your dreams, performing excellence while feeling empty – what does that cost you? Your mental health? Your relationships? The salary you could be earning if you made a move? Your peace? $450 is less than most professional development courses that won’t address what’s actually holding you back.
What if I’m not sure this is the right time?
There’s never a perfect time. There will always be something – a busy season at work, family obligations, financial uncertainty. The women who make the biggest changes aren’t the ones who wait for perfect timing. They’re the ones who take one step while life is still messy. This session IS that first step. Now that we’ve addressed your questions, it’s time to schedule your session

YOU ALREADY WOKE UP WORTHY
What if the thing you’ve been calling a “pipe dream” is actually the path you’re meant to be on?
What if you don’t need to be perfect to deserve it? What if the next right step is simpler than you think?
You already woke up worthy. Now its time to draw a line in the sand and make things happen.
