THE LIFE COACH FOR IMMIGRANT BUSINESSWOMEN
The Life Coach for Immigrant Businesswomen.
Work Hard — Without Wasting Your Capacity.
If you’re capable, driven, and still exhausted, there’s a reason your effort isn’t paying off…
You Work Hard.
So Why Does Everything Still Feel Like Such a Heavy Lift?
If you’re a capable, driven woman who carries a lot— and you’re still overworking, overthinking, or underearning—
This isn’t a motivation problem.
It’s a misapplied effort problem.
I help high-capacity immigrant women stop paying a hidden tax for being capable— So their effort finally turns into clearer decisions, sustainable energy, and income that matches how hard they work.
You don’t need to work less.
You don’t need to push harder.
And nothing is wrong with you.
You need to know where your effort is leaking— and what to adjust so your work actually pays off.
Find the Pressure Point That Changes Everything
Take the What’s Really Driving Your Overworking? quiz to see where your time, energy, and emotional labor are being wasted—
and what to clean up first so you can move forward with clarity and strength.
You’ll get clarity, a personalized workbook, and an invitation to a free 20-minute strategy call to help you move forward with more peace, ease, and aligned results.

Why Hard Work Still Isn’t Paying Off
If you’re an immigrant businesswoman who’s been taught to work harder, adapt faster, and carry more responsibility, it makes sense that you’ve tried to succeed by:
Putting in longer hours
Taking on more than your share
Trying to be more productive, more qualified, more prepared
That strategy worked — until it didn’t.
Because eventually, effort without alignment turns into:
Constant mental load
Emotional exhaustion
Decision fatigue
And income that doesn’t reflect how much you’re doing
This isn’t a discipline problem.
And it’s not because you’re doing anything wrong.
It’s because too much of your capacity is being spent on misapplied effort and invisible emotional labor.
How I Help You Reclaim Your Capacity (So Results Catch Up)
My work focuses on helping high-capacity women clean up where their effort is leaking — so their work finally converts.
We do this in three ways:
1. Capacity Clearing
We identify where your time, energy, and emotional labor are being drained — and remove what isn’t necessary or yours to carry.
2. Aligned Action That Actually Moves the Needle
Instead of reacting, overthinking, or staying busy, we focus your effort on the decisions and actions that produce results.
3. Results You Can Sustain
This isn’t about doing less.
It’s about working with clarity so your income, leadership, and energy can grow together — without burnout cycles.
What Changes When Your Capacity Is Aligned
When effort is applied in the right places, you stop fighting yourself.
That looks like:
Clear priorities instead of constant pressure
Cleaner decisions without emotional drag
Workdays that end without depletion
Income that reflects your leadership and skill
Success stops feeling like something you have to push for —
and starts feeling like something you can hold.
This Is Not About Becoming Someone Else
You don’t need to be softer.
You don’t need to slow down your ambition.
And you don’t need another productivity system.
You need your effort working for you again.
And that starts by knowing where to apply pressure differently.

Work With Someone Who Understands the Weight You Carry
I was born in Kenya and raised with a deep respect for hard work, responsibility, and achievement. Like many immigrant women, I learned early how to adapt, push through, and carry more than my share.
That strength helped me succeed — and it also taught me to overwork, overfunction, and quietly absorb emotional and mental load that was never meant to be mine.
For years, I did what capable women do:
I worked harder, stayed prepared, and kept going — even when the results didn’t match the effort.
What changed wasn’t my ambition.
What changed was where I applied my effort.
I stopped trying to push through everything and started cleaning up the places where my time, energy, and emotional labor were being wasted. That shift didn’t make me softer — it made me more effective.
Today, I help high-capacity immigrant women do the same.
Not by asking them to work less.
But by helping them stop paying a hidden tax for being capable.
What It’s Like to Work Together
When we work together, we focus on:
Removing misapplied effort that drains your capacity
Cleaning up invisible emotional labor that slows decisions and progress
Redirecting your energy toward actions that actually move results
Building income and leadership you can sustain — without burnout cycles
This work isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about restoring clarity so your effort finally pays you back.
You already have the drive.
You already have the intelligence.
You already have the resilience.
My role is to help you use those strengths with precision.
If This Sounds Like You
If you’re the one who:
Works hard and carries a lot
Feels responsible for keeping things moving
Is tired of doing more and getting less
You’re in the right place.
👉 Take the quiz to see where your effort is leaking — and what to clean up first.
How Change Actually Happens
Real change doesn’t come from trying harder.
It comes from applying your effort in the right place.
This work follows a simple, practical sequence:
1. Identify the Effort Leak
Before anything changes, we get clear on where your time, energy, and emotional labor are being wasted.
This is the step most capable women skip — and the reason they stay stuck.
2. Remove What’s Draining Your Capacity
Once the leak is visible, we clean up misapplied effort, overfunctioning, and invisible responsibility that’s slowing your progress.
3. Redirect Your Energy Toward Results
With your capacity restored, decisions get cleaner, action gets simpler, and results finally begin to match how hard you work.
This isn’t about doing less.
It’s about working with precision.
Start With Clarity
The fastest way to begin is by seeing where your effort is leaking right now.

I’m Ruth Duren, MBA
I work with high-capacity immigrant women who are smart, capable, and used to carrying a lot — and who are tired of working this hard without seeing results that match their effort.
My background in business and coaching allows me to see what most people miss:
when effort, emotional labor, and responsibility are misapplied, even the most capable women end up exhausted, stuck, or underearning.
My work isn’t about slowing you down or asking you to want less.
It’s about helping you apply your effort with precision so your leadership, income, and energy can grow together.
If you feel like:
Everything falls on you
You’re doing more than your share
And success still feels heavier than it should
There’s a reason — and it’s not a lack of discipline, talent, or drive.
The first step is clarity.
Start With the Right Leverage
