My Story
and Background
I came from a family of struggle, working our tails off for little reward, and I vowed to do things differently. I obtained an honors education, earned a high-paying job, purchased a beautiful home, and started a family. I even had a white picket fence built around my yard to add to the ideal image.
It wasn't long before the stress, responsibilities, and pressure led to a sense of discontent…. a yearning for more.
I had the money, but no time or energy to enjoy spending it. The harder I worked, the more empty and confused I felt. I had no idea what I did wrong or what I needed to change.
As the stress built, I found myself spending more time on the couch, looking at the bottom of many wine bottles. My energy was zapped and my patience with my son was nonexistent. I felt trapped and disgusted.
Everything looked right on the outside, but nothing felt right on the inside.
That experience ignited a passion in me to understand what it takes to truly feel engaged in work and life, how to lead myself through significant personal and professional changes, and how to appreciate all that I have achieved. It created a desire to not only help myself, but to help others.
I learned that there are several factors in creating a powerful and meaningful life, and none of them are taught to us through our educational system or professional training.
After a major career change, divorce, relocation, and trauma healing, I'm proud to say my life and career are far simpler and much more meaningful than before. I find joy in even the smallest moments, and my eyes tear with gratitude when I describe my work to others. Since 2012, I've been guiding countless professional women through similar transformations. My journey and passion for personal and professional growth quickly became my life's work.
I pride myself in showing up in life as part compassionate healer, part professional bad-ass, and part fun-loving wisecracker. This work is not just what I do, it is who I am. I wish you that same deep and meaningful sense of purpose.
