Dr. Brittany Castonguay
Making Leadership Human
About
Hi! I’m Dr. Brittany Castonguay, but you can call me "Dr. C." As a Tampa Bay native, Air Force veteran, entrepreneur, and leadership strategist, my passion lies in providing leaders with practical tools to foster authenticity, empathy, and accountability. I approach my work with a genuine and charismatic style, helping others realize their potential and reshape organizations from within.
Outside of my professional life, I love enjoying coffee, spending quality time with my family, and planning my next adventure. My journey hasn’t been without its challenges; I graduated from high school six months pregnant, determined not to let teenage pregnancy define me. By the time I was 22, I was a mother to two young children and had earned my master’s degree.
In 2016, I joined the military as a Human Resources Officer while balancing my responsibilities as a mother of three. I faced additional hurdles, including divorce and struggles with autoimmune disorders, which inspired me to pursue a Ph.D. in Global Leadership and Change. Now, as of 2026, I’m happily remarried, blessed with a miracle baby, and part of a blended family of six. I use my life experiences and expertise to help others unlock their full potential by embracing their true, authentic selves.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is coaching and how is it different from therapy or consulting?
Coaching is future-focused and action-oriented.
Therapy often explores healing past trauma and diagnosing mental health concerns. Consulting typically provides expert solutions to organizational problems.
Coaching, on the other hand, is a collaborative process. I don’t “fix” you, and I don’t hand you a script. I help you uncover blind spots, challenge limiting patterns, and design strategic next steps that align with your values and leadership goals.
If you are looking to grow, lead more effectively, or navigate a transition with clarity and accountability, coaching is the right space.
Who do you normally work with?
I work with leaders at every stage of their journey.
That includes:
- New managers stepping into leadership roles
- High-performing professionals battling imposter syndrome
- Executives navigating burnout or misalignment
- Entrepreneurs building teams and culture
- Individuals who know they are capable of more but feel stuck
You do not have to hold a formal leadership title to benefit form working with me. Leadership begins with how you lead yourself and some of the best leaders don't hold a formal title.
What results can I expect from coaching?
Clients commonly report:
- Increased confidence in their decision-making
- Clearer communication and stronger boundaries
- Greater emotional intelligence and self-awareness
- Improved team dynamics and trust
- Reduced burnout and improved alignment
- A stronger sense of purpose and authenticity
Coaching does not promise perfection. It builds excellence through clarity, accountability, and intentional action.
How long does coaching typically last?
That depends on your goals.
Some clients begin with a single 60-minute intensive session to clarify a specific challenge. Others commit to structured coaching engagements ranging from three to six months for deeper transformation.
Leadership development is not a quick fix; it is a process. We'll figure out the best structure based on your needs.
What happens during a typical coaching session?
Each session is structured but flexible.
We:
- Clarify your immediate focus or challenge.
- Identify patterns, blind spots, or internal barriers.
- Develop strategic and actionable next steps.
- Establish accountability for follow-through.
Expect thoughtful questions, honest reflection, and practical strategies, not motivational fluff.
What is the difference between Monomyth Executive Journey and Monomyth Leadership Lab?
Great question!
Both options integrate the foundational leadership framework developed by Dr. C in Monomyth. The difference is where you are in your leadership journey.
Monomyth Executive Journey is a 12-session packaged development program that is spread over 6 months and is designed to walk the participant through their entire leadership journey. This program is perfect for those ready to get vulnerable and dirty and experience exponential growth.
Monomyth Leadership Lab is a subscription option for leaders looking for guided growth and support without committing to the demands of the Monomyth Executive Journey.
Think of Monomyth Leadership Lab as a stepping stone in your leadership journey.

Is everything confidential?
Yes.
Our sessions are completely confidential. Psychological safety is essential for authentic growth. You cannot lead transparently if you do not feel safe to speak openly.
The only caveat to our confidentiality is if you make threats or comments to hurt yourself or others. I am not a therapist and depending on the situation, I may be required to report those comments to emergency personnel.

Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes.
All coaching sessions are conducted virtually, allowing you to engage from anywhere. This flexibility ensures accessibility without sacrificing depth or connection.
What if I’m not sure I’m “ready” for coaching?
You don’t need to have everything figured out.
If you’re feeling stuck, questioning your leadership, or sensing misalignment, that is often the sign that growth is ready to happen.
Many clients begin with a discovery call or single intensive session before committing to a longer engagement.
How do I know if we’re a good fit?
The discovery call is designed for that purpose.
Coaching works best when there is trust, alignment, and mutual commitment to growth. During our initial conversation, we’ll explore your goals, your leadership context, and whether my approach aligns with what you need.
What makes your coaching different?
My work is rooted in the Monomyth Framework. This framework is something I developed as a way to view leadership as a journey of departure, initiation, and return.
I combine:
- Real-world leadership experience
- Academic research in leadership and workforce development
- Emotional intelligence principles
- Strategic accountability
- A people-first philosophy
I do not coach from theory alone. I coach from lived experience, research-backed frameworks, and a deep commitment to helping leaders become authentic, accountable, and effective.
Monomyth debuts on Amazon 11 Mar 26.

What is the investment?
Coaching is an investment in your leadership, your confidence, and your long-term impact.
Current session and package pricing is available on the booking page. If you are unsure which option is right for you, start with a discovery call to explore next steps.
What if I’m afraid to be vulnerable?
That’s normal.
Authentic leadership requires courage. Growth often begins at the edge of discomfort. My role is to create a space where vulnerability feels supported, not exposed or judged.
You are never forced to share more than you’re ready to. But if you’re willing to show up honestly, the transformation can be significant.
