Hi, I’m Arivee

I am the author of the bestselling book Your Time to Rise: Unlearn Limiting Beliefs, Unlock Your Power and Unleash Your Truest Self, a certified executive and high performance™️ coach, leadership development strategist, motivational speaker, podcaster, first-generation Latina, and mama of three. With nearly 20 years of experience—from Big Law attorney to leadership development in HR—I know firsthand what it takes to excel in high-pressure environments. I also know the toll it can take when external success doesn’t quite match your internal experience.

My Story (the short version)

I’ve walked the path that many ambitious professionals in high-pressure environments find themselves on—the one where you’re checking all the boxes, doing what you’re “supposed” to do, but still asking that question: Is this really what success is supposed to feel like?

I bought into the idea that if I just worked harder, achieved more, and followed the rules of success, I’d eventually feel like I’d “made it.” I’d be happy and satisfied. But no title, promotion, or accolade filled the gap between external achievement and internal fulfillment.

I ultimately realized that sustainable success isn’t about choosing between achievement and fulfillment—it’s about alignment.

I didn’t have to choose between my kids and wellbeing on the one hand, and my career on the other. I didn’t have to tether my entire identity and sense of self to the roles I played—mother, daughter, attorney, corporate leader.

I needed a more integrated approach to success. I reassessed my professional path with greater intention—not to walk away from my career and everything I’d worked so hard to build, but to elevate it.

Being the daughter of Dominican immigrant parents gave me the drive to succeed and the hunger and tenacity to achieve anything, but I also learned that real success isn’t just about pushing forward—it’s about leading with clarity, purpose, and authenticity.

When I stopped chasing validation and started bringing my whole self to my work, I contributed my unique value more. I led more effectively. And, for the first time, my career felt as good as it looked.

The Shift That Changes Everything

Through my career & personal evolution—from Big Law to in-house counsel, to HR leadership development, with three kids, and now to executive coaching & working with high-achieving professionals in organizations—I’ve learned this:

Sustainable success isn’t about working harder or proving more. It’s about aligning professional excellence with personal fulfillment and what actually matters to you.

I learned to:

✔ Manage my energy, not just my time
✔ Lead authentically, instead of trying to fit a mold
✔ Redefine success beyond external validation or approval
✔ Make decisions that serve both career growth and personal well-being

When you own your unique strengths and value, trust yourself, and lead from a place of alignment, you don’t just advance—you create real influence, impact, and fulfillment.

This is exactly what I now help others achieve.

How I can Support You

Real leadership at work and in your life isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up with clarity, conviction, and a sense of purpose.

I help high-achieving women in law and corporate leadership quiet the self-doubt, own their value & voice, and lead with confidence—without burning out or second-guessing their every move.

Through executive coaching, leadership development, and speaking engagements, I guide professionals and organizations in building leaders who don’t just excel on paper but create meaningful impact, influence, and fulfillment in their careers and lives.
