My Journey

For over a decade, I devoted myself to improving my health, mindset, and daily habits. I thought I was doing everything right—checking all the boxes. But despite all the green smoothies, mindset shifts, and morning routines, I still struggled to feel at home in my own mind and body.

The truth? I was living from the outside in. I was chasing external achievements and validation, hoping they’d fix the quiet ache inside me.

What I didn’t realize was that I was operating from outdated patterns, limiting beliefs, and unconscious behaviors that had been running the show for years. That old programming disconnected me from my most authentic self.

It wasn’t until I turned inward—addressing the nervous system, emotional wounds, and the stories I’d carried for decades—that things began to shift. When I stopped striving and started listening, I began to feel something I hadn’t in years: peace.

After retiring from a 25+ year corporate career in 2019, I found myself face-to-face with a lifetime of suppressed anger, resentment, and confusion. Outwardly, I had it all: success, stability, even a new marriage. But inside, I was unraveling. I was in my fourth marriage—and I say that without shame. Despite looking happy, I felt unseen, misunderstood, and emotionally cut off.

A solo trip to Sedona cracked something open in me. It was my turning point. What followed was a slow, courageous descent into the truth: into healing, self-responsibility, and a deeper understanding of who I really was—beyond the roles, the patterns, the conditioning.

That journey changed everything. It led me to trauma-informed training, holistic health, yoga, Ayurveda, and nervous system work. I began to speak more honestly, love more consciously, and live more fully. And through it all, a surprising but undeniable calling emerged: writing.

Not just journaling or reflection—but storytelling. I wanted to write novels that moved people. Stories that spoke to the hidden struggles so many of us carry. Stories that helped people feel seen.

Today, I’m no longer coaching. My work has evolved.

Now, I write, speak, and share stories—on the page, on stage, and through meaningful conversations. My mission is to spark self-awareness, challenge old conditioning, and invite people back into connection with their truest selves.

I bring the depth of my lived experience and extensive training into everything I create. Whether I’m speaking to a group, being interviewed on a podcast, or writing a character’s journey, I hold the vision for what’s possible when we stop performing and start remembering who we are.
