Best Story
Throughout my life I've found pride in accomplishing things that others said I would not be able to do (professional ballerina, Chemical Engineer, Life Coach, Reiki Master, Entrepreneur). If we meet, I'd be happy to share my story which will hopefully inspire you to step into your next bold move.
Origin Story
After 20 years of a successful executive career in the corporate landscape, I learned that being good at my job was not enough to feel fulfilled. Like many leaders, I faced the pressure of living up to other’s expectations every day, until I realized that the work that I had enjoyed for so many years had suddenly become just a job. I realized I had gone from living the dream to simply working for the next paycheck.
Today, after reconnecting with my purpose and embracing the core of who I am, I stand not just as a successful entrepreneur, speaker, and best-selling author, but as someone who empowers others to rewrite their own stories. Through actionable frameworks and fearless strategies, I guide professionals to reignite their passion, unlock their potential, and boldly pursue their next bold move. My journey taught me that success without fulfillment is empty, and I am deeply committed to helping others discover the joy and freedom of living and leading with purpose.
