You’ve always been a go-getter.

You are one of those women who crushes it in her career. You became an entrepreneur because you wanted more fulfilling work and a more flexible lifestyle. Your plan was always to serve your clients deeply without sacrificing yourself.

But somehow you’re working harder than ever. Your to-do list never ends. Social media posts, webinars, website copy—it’s endless and exhausting. Despite all you’re doing, clients are inconsistent. You can barely keep up, yet you’re barely scraping by.

You are so ready move past the stage of “full-time side hustle” and “expensive hobby”. You hate spinning your wheels, but what really sucks is being out of integrity with yourself. You’re not working out or going on date nights or spending time with your kids or your friends. Somehow work has swallowed your life and you’ve got no results to show for it.

Girl, I hear you. And let’s slow this down.

I’m on a mission to inspire you to stand in possibility. To help you know, deep down in your bones, that you can create whatever you want.

The life you have is one you created. And you have the power to change it.

Over the last ten years, I’ve coached hundreds of women all around the world.

After all this time, I can tell you that effort is not the missing piece.

The biggest difference between women who spin in circles and those who rocket ahead is their willingness to take complete ownership in their businesses and lives.

To be clear: Ownership is not about blame. It’s about taking responsibility for your outcomes and working with life, not against it.

It’s about taking action, receiving feedback, and working with that information—without making it mean anything about you.

Most of all, it’s about understanding that life really loves you. Nothing is bad; everything serves a purpose. Whatever happens is happening for you, not to you...

Whether you want a booming business, financial success, weight loss, a marriage, a new career, a book, or a TED Talk—you can make it happen.

But you must be willing to take ownership, stay in the game, and go deep into what’s not working on the inside as much as the outside.

I believe…

• Happiness is an inside-out job.

• Our outer circumstances reflect our inner reality.

• Life, business, and parenting is an adventure. Especially the things that are hard.

• Self-care isn’t self-indulgence. Self-care is self-respect.

• Joy is walking your talk—living your life and running your business as your authentic self. (For me that means prioritizing my family, friends, and philanthropic work with women and girls.)

I believe these things because I have been where you are and I’ve seen the other side.

A newly certified coach, buzzing with excitement from her training program, dives headfirst into business-building. After months of social media posts, website building, online courses and free “sample sessions”, enthusiasm shifts to desperation.

Yep, that was me: spinning my wheels and staring down the barrel of my bank account. Despite busting my ass doing all the “right” things, I barely earned $14,000 my first year as a coach.

And you have to understand—that wasn’t my way. During the 13 years I worked for corporations and start-ups, I took every job knowing no one would do it better, faster, or more efficiently than me. I slept under my desk and pulled all-nighters. I worked sixteen-hour days. Whenever curiosity led me to a new industry, whether it was cellular or tech or public relations, I did all I could to master my chosen position and got financial rewards as a result.

So you can imagine my surprise when building a professional coaching practice came as such a challenge for me. I was passionate, and hungry, and working my ass off, yet I couldn’t get results.

Here I was, newly divorced with a toddler to care for, living in a house I could barely afford. I’d gone from earning six figures to below the poverty line. Despite manifesting the money to enroll in B-School, none of it moved the needle.  I’d been determined to walk my daughter to school—to stay present with her no matter what—but I remember thinking, “Fuck, I can’t do this. I’ve got to get a job.”

Then something incredible happened: I learned another way, a better way, the way I teach my clients now.

Once I found that, everything changed. I made $100,000 in less than a year, and it felt better and truer and of higher service to my clients than anything I’d done before. At the same time, I stopped being so attached to money and started trusting myself even more.

Since then, I’ve continued to evolve. I did my first group coaching program and broke multiple six figures. I ran a half-marathon and a cotton candy machine (not at the same time). I lost my mom, my gallbladder, and my dog. I got my Master’s in Spiritual Psychology and spent a month alone in Bali.

Coaching doesn’t require you to be perfect, but it requires you to dig inside. Working with my coach allows me to love myself more and others more, consistently improve my communication, and bring my best self to every part of my life.

Thanks to this work, my marriage isn’t perfect, but it’s fucking solid. My husband and I have so much love and friendship and fun.

The same is true with my daughter. We love to travel together, and snuggle and eat sushi and every so often she brings me flowers in the middle of my workday.

I call myself an adventurpreneur, and to me, the adventure is life. My family, friendships, and volunteering are pillars. My business is a financial engine and source of joy.

When I wake up each morning, I’m hungry for life—and thanks to this work, I experience all of it.
