I was doing the work of leadership before I had the words, the confidence, or the support to own it. 

But I didn’t always have the right people, the right guidance, the right support, or the right tools at the right times. So, I fumbled, I failed, and I succeeded feeling alone and very guarded. Even in those lonely moments, I remained fascinated by the art, science, and soul of leadership, a force that has shaped us since the beginning of time. 

Throughout my career, as an employee and entrepreneur I’ve served in many leadership roles. I’ve had both traumatic and triumphant experiences. And even with over two decades of success helping others heal, grow, and transform, my own journey through entrepreneurship and leadership has been filled with unnecessary struggle, stress, and self-sacrifice. 

Like many of us, I got caught up in all the wrong ideas about what success should look like. I deeply doubted myself. I hired the wrong people to help me. I implemented strategies that didn’t fit me. I compared myself to people who weren’t walking my path. I chased after someone else’s version of success, and paid for it with my wellbeing. 

And when those strategies didn’t work for me, I punished myself. Despite my expertise in leadership, mental health, emotional intelligence, career development, adult learning, and organizational development, I still couldn’t figure out why I wasn't "succeeding." I felt frustrated, burned out, and alone with a deep sense of anger I didn’t yet know how to hold. 

With compassionate support, I realized I had been self-silencing. I had learned to suppress my anger and difficult emotions, instead of listening to them. Once I gave myself permission to feel fully, to honor my truth, my rage, my tenderness, everything began to shift. I stopped viewing those emotions as flaws and started working with them as wisdom. 

That’s when the real healing began. That’s when I started to lead from my whole self, not just the parts that looked polished from the outside. 


And I see you.

I see you building your business, guiding teams or a whole organization, and stewarding missions as a way to reclaim your joy and your power. But the way we’ve been taught to lead: to strive, push, prove, and perform, often leaves us overwhelmed, anxious, and burned out. You may have achieved external success, but still feel unfulfilled, disconnected, or unseen.  

Because success isn’t success if you have to sacrifice your wellbeing to get it.


That’s why I’m here.

I want you to experience the joy of leading and building from a place that feels like you, not a performance of who you think you need to be.

That starts with being rooted in your wellbeing.

That starts with learning to advocate for what you truly want and need, without guilt, shame, or apology.

That starts with unlearning the self-harm of self-silencing and embracing a new way of working with your emotions, including anger, grief, and fear, as tools for clarity, power, and healing.

You haven’t been taught how to do this with self-trust, self-empathy, and self-compassion, but you can learn. And when you do, leading and building won’t cost you your health, your joy, or your truth.

With the right support, this way of being becomes not only possible, it becomes your natural way of being.
