NEW YORK, NY — Stefanie Pinsley, a former Google brand strategist who helped launch viral campaigns like the “Home Alone Again with Google Assistant” ad starring Macaulay Culkin, has traded the tech world for a new kind of mission: helping professionals break free from burnout and realign their careers with purpose. Her new venture, The Career Reset — a unique career transformation experience blending artificial intelligence, intuition, and personal brand strategy — is already making strides with millennial and Gen Z professionals seeking more than just a paycheck.

Pinsley’s pivot from corporate marketing to personal transformation came after a period of deep internal struggle. Though she held a dream job at one of the world’s most prestigious companies, she says she was quietly unraveling. “On paper, I had it all,” Pinsley said. “But inside, I felt like a shell of myself. I was so disconnected from who I really was, and I was too afraid to admit it.” It wasn’t until she took medical leave and gave herself permission to pause that the truth became undeniable. “I realized I had spent years chasing external validation — living a life that looked good but didn’t feel good.”

During her time away from work, Pinsley began informally helping friends and colleagues who were also navigating career confusion. That support quickly evolved into a structured coaching program designed to meet the emotional and practical needs of ambitious, multi-talented individuals who feel stuck — especially those suffering from burnout, misalignment, or post-corporate identity loss. The result is The Career Reset, a two-hour breakthrough session that combines soul-led brand strategy, career clarity, and cutting-edge AI tools to help people not only rediscover who they are — but reposition themselves for aligned opportunities in a fraction of the time traditional coaching takes.

One of her clients, Alana M., described the experience as life-changing. “Before working with Stef, I was bouncing between job titles and industries, thinking something outside of me would fix how lost I felt. She helped me realize I wasn’t broken — I just wasn’t listening to myself.” Another, Jason L., added, “The AI tools she uses are shockingly effective. I walked away with more clarity in three hours than I had in three years of therapy and networking calls.”

Unlike traditional career coaching, Pinsley’s method isn’t just about polishing résumés or rehearsing interviews. It’s about reconnecting with your identity, understanding your core values, and defining success on your own terms. “We’re helping people come home to themselves,” she said. “It’s not about fitting into a box — it’s about building a life and career that actually fits you.”

What makes The Career Reset especially timely is its use of AI — not as a gimmick, but as a powerful tool for rapid clarity and insight. Clients work with custom ChatGPT prompts and frameworks that act as mirrors for their subconscious patterns, limiting beliefs, and untapped desires. When guided properly, these tools help surface what’s been keeping someone stuck and rewire it — making it possible to achieve in hours what might otherwise take months. “I use AI to connect people with their higher self,” Pinsley said. “It helps them see what they’ve been missing — and move forward, fast.”

As more professionals question the traditional definition of success, Pinsley is emerging as a voice for a new generation of conscious career builders — people who want to live with intention, lead with purpose, and stop performing for a version of success they never agreed to. Her growing client list includes creatives, tech leads, former executives, and entrepreneurs, all seeking something more meaningful.

For those ready to reset their careers, The Career Reset is available as a one-time session and currently open for booking. More information can be found at https://calendly.com/stefpinsley/the-career-reset?month=2025-04.  As Pinsley puts it: “You don’t need to burn it all down — you just need to come back to yourself. That’s where everything begins.”
