You’ve spent your life taking care of others.
It’s time for your business to take care of you.
IF You’re overworked, overextended, OR UNINSPIRED, TAKE HEART—it doesn’t have to be this way.
Here’s how we make business feel good again.
This work is for you if…
✔ You’ve built a business, but it feels like you’re working harder than you should have to.
✔ You’re successful—but you still feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and stuck.
✔ You’re constantly carrying more than your fair share—even in your business.
✔ You’ve done some personal healing work, and now you’re ready to let your business reflect the person you’ve become.
✔ You don’t need help starting a business—you need help making it work for you instead of the other way around.
This work is not for you if…
❌ You’re looking for a step-by-step blueprint to scale fast.
❌ You want a coach who guarantees financial results. I don’t do that—because real success is about so much more than money.
❌ You don’t yet have a business and need help starting from scratch.
❌ You’re currently deep in trauma and need therapy before business coaching.
If this sounds like you, let’s talk.
Hi, I’m Elizabeth Hope Derby.
I help women who’ve spent their whole lives taking care of others build a business that finally takes care of them.
Right now, running your business feels more draining, frustrating, and complicated than you ever expected. You thought this career path would give you freedom—but instead, you’re trapped in a cycle of overwork, overwhelm, and over-responsibility.
I help you unlearn the invisible rules making business harder than it needs to be—so you can create success on your terms.
No more forcing yourself into business strategies that weren’t built for you. No more doing it all just to keep up.
Together, we reshape your business so it actually supports you—energetically, emotionally, and creatively—without forcing you to compromise your integrity or well-being in the process.
Ready to feel at ease in your work again?
Let’s make it happen.

“Working with Elizabeth helped see me through to a place I only imagined my heart and business could be. She saved me from burnout and brought back the joy of doing what I love. Now I’ve produced dream projects, employed more than 100 freelancers, and still have time and energy to spend with my daughter.”
Lani Neumann
Executive Producer and Founder of Necessary Media
“Before working with Elizabeth, owning my business felt all-consuming and exhausting. Although the company was doing well, I really wasn’t happy. Running this business is so much more fulfilling for me now. Even when I’m out of the office, nothing falls apart because nothing falls exclusively on me anymore. I like my work and the company more now than I ever have before.”
Lauren Edwards
President & CEO, Reine Digital
“I was struggling with feeling like I never had enough time and failing to get everything done. Now work is easier, I have more free time, and running my business is so much more fun. I had known I needed a coach to get me past my self-imposed restrictions, and that’s exactly what Elizabeth did. Every day my life looks more and more like my vision board.“

What’s possible for YOU?
When you let go of complexity and excess emotional labor, and you reshape your business to take care of you:
✔ You start your day feeling refreshed and inspired (not immediately overwhelmed).
✔ You have time for morning walks, creative projects, and deep rest.
✔ Your business doesn’t just “work”—it supports you, fuels you, and gives back to you.

My work is different.
Coaching is a powerful practice. It’s changed my clients’ lives—and my own life, many times—for the better.
But let’s be honest, the coaching industry has a lot of problems. It often replicates harmful systems, ignores trauma, and assumes success is equally accessible to everyone.
That’s not how I do things.
My Commitments & Coaching Approach
✔ I recognize power dynamics in coaching spaces and welcome open dialogue & feedback.
✔ I am actively decolonizing my coaching practice and taking a year-long training in this work.
✔ I do not promise financial results. I focus on shaping your business so it supports you, not just your bank account.
✔ I am not a therapist or a trauma-informed coach. If needed, I will recommend you seek therapy alongside business coaching.
✔ If something I say doesn’t sit right, you are welcome to tell me. I’m here to listen, learn, and do better.
