my story

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “This is supposed to make me happy…so why doesn’t it feel like enough?”

I know that feeling well.

Before becoming a coach, I spent nearly a decade building a successful career in communications, PR, media, and marketing. I was ambitious, driven, and doing so many of the things I thought I was supposed to do to create a successful life.

But somewhere along the way, I realized I had gotten really good at building a life that looked right without ever stopping to ask myself whether it actually felt right for me.

In 2015, that disconnect became impossible to ignore when I experienced a panic attack at work.

Truthfully, it became one of those moments that divides your life into a before and an after.

I hire someone to help me figure it out and started asking myself different questions.

• What do I actually want?

• What impact do I want to make in this world?

• What would I choose if I stopped making decisions based on shoulds?

• Who do I want to become?

I didn't have all the answers right away. But I started listening.

Many breadcrumbs left by the Universe eventually led me across the country and into a year-long ICF-accredited coach training program in 2016 at the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC), where I became a Certified Professional Coach.

And little by little, my life began to change.

I left the soul-sucking job that led to my panic attack. And then eventually left my communications career to build my coaching business full-time. I've moved across the country, built a business, navigated seasons of uncertainty and reinvention, walked through a long journey to motherhood, and become a mom.

And through every chapter, I've learned something I now believe deeply: The life that's right for you isn't something you figure out once.

We change. Our priorities change. Our desires change. The things that once felt right can stop fitting. New goals and dreams emerge. New versions of us emerge.

And we're allowed to tap into our intuition and listen deeply to those nudges.

My own life has required me to get clear on what I want, trust myself before I know exactly how things will unfold, let go of identities I've outgrown, and continually meet the woman I'm becoming next.

That's the work I now have the privilege of helping other women do.

I'm still ambitious. I still believe deeply in dreaming big, visualization, manifestation, personal growth, and becoming your Next-Level Self.

But these days, I believe just as deeply in presence. In self-trust. In nervous system capacity. In changing your mind. In letting your definition of success evolve. And in creating a beautiful life while you're actually living it.

Because ultimately, I believe we're here to know ourselves deeply, allow ourselves to want what we want, keep becoming — and intentionally create lives that feel like our own.

If you're somewhere in the space between who you've been and who you're becoming, I understand that place well.

And I'm really glad you're here.
