For much of my life, I struggled with imposter syndrome—feeling like I didn’t truly belong in spaces where I was achieving success. Despite my experience, accomplishments, and talents, I would often second-guess myself, thinking I wasn’t “enough” or that I was somehow faking my way through life. It wasn’t until I took a deeper look at my own fears and doubts that I realized how much of it was rooted in a deep sense of perfectionism and the unrealistic pressure I’d placed on myself to always be “the best.” Whether in the professional world, in relationships, or in my personal journey, I often found myself wondering if I was capable of truly owning my worth. Through years of self-reflection, counseling, and embracing the imperfection of growth, I’ve learned to identify the triggers of imposter syndrome and use them as stepping stones toward building authentic self-confidence. It wasn’t an overnight shift, but through acknowledging my doubts and learning to quiet them, I slowly started to embrace my true self without needing to be perfect. If you’ve ever felt like you were “faking it” or that you don’t deserve the success and opportunities in front of you, I’m here to help you break free from those self-limiting thoughts and walk alongside you in embracing the truth of who you really are.

I’ve spent my life building things: companies, brands, careers, and resilience in the face of challenges. I started in music and live events, moved into Fortune 500 brand campaigns, and eventually found my calling in coaching and helping others move forward with purpose. My clients come to me when they’re at a crossroads feeling stuck, burned out, or ready to take a leap but unsure where to start. Together, we cut through the noise, get clear on what really matters, and create a plan you can actually stick to. I combine real-world business experience with mindfulness, mental wellness tools, and straight-up honest conversation. If you’re looking for someone who’s been in the trenches, understands high-pressure decisions, and can help you rebuild your focus and drive, I’m here for that.

Life hasn’t always been easy, and I’ve faced my share of struggles. Growing up as the second oldest of six kids, I learned early how to juggle responsibilities, including helping raise my older sister’s children in their early years. My own journey as a mom has had its challenges, too—infertility, pregnancy loss, and health issues like POTS have all shaped my path. But perhaps the most challenging experience was a serious car accident that left me feeling hopeless and overwhelmed. I struggled with suicidal thoughts before seeking therapy, and it was through that therapy that I was able to heal and rebuild my sense of purpose. As a parent, I’ve encountered many obstacles, from advocating for my son’s speech development to learning that a small but significant health issue—an ear bead that had been lodged in his ear for eight years—was affecting his hearing and development. Through patience, perseverance, and a willingness to explore natural and alternative solutions, I’ve learned how to face the obstacles in my life with resilience.

I have spent years helping my husband run his business, and when he follows my advice, he does well. He grows and succeeds. I am a homesteading mom of 3 with my own business while helping my husband run his.

Leaving graduate school early, job loss, poor fits - all traumas I've had to navigate through. Whatever nebulous point represented my dream career now has a circuitous route to get there. Add to that the mental toll that professional, financial, and social shifts take on our well-being, especially when we don't learn "corporate speak" in school! I'd love to share ways that I've handled these setbacks - such as becoming a content creator - as well as practical ideas for job seeking. As important as our careers are, they don't represent our entire identity.

If you’ve ever had an idea that won’t leave you alone—or you’re building something that feels both exciting and overwhelming—I see you. Being an entrepreneur isn’t all pitch decks and perfect branding. Sometimes, it’s late nights, self-doubt, and wondering if you’re the only one who still hasn’t figured it out. I’ve been there—spiraling on ten different directions, unsure which idea to follow, second-guessing launches, and wondering if I’m doing too much or not enough. I’ve felt the high of a creative breakthrough—and the crash when things didn’t go as planned. But I’ve also learned how powerful it is to share your ideas out loud. To have someone reflect them back without criticism or “expert advice.” Just presence. Just care. Sometimes you don’t need a guru or a growth hack. You just need space to be real. To talk through your vision, your confusion, your “what ifs,” and your “why the hell nots”—without feeling like you have to have it all together.

I spent nine tough years in corporate, fighting my way through office politics, chasing promotions, putting in all the hard work—only to learn that visibility matters more than effort. I got lost in bureaucracy, had to manage impossible bosses, and burned out far too often. Then I jumped into a startup world filled with freedom and ownership—yes, I had way more impact, but I also got flattened by constant uncertainty and a total lack of structure. If you’re stuck in either space—feeling drained by faceless corporate walls or disoriented by startup chaos—trust me, I’ve been there. Those two worlds demand different strategies for your time, energy, and results. That’s why I'm here: to help you navigate both with clarity, intention, and the grit you need to thrive.

For the ones clocking in every day but questioning if this is really the life you want. When work feels unfulfilling, when promotions and growth never come, or when the only thing keeping you in your job is the pension you’ll collect someday—it’s hard not to wonder if you’re wasting your time. You see other people doing work that excites them, living lives they actually enjoy, and you can’t help but ask: Why not me? Do you ever feel like you’re being held back, but you don’t know where to go from here? Maybe you’re curious about entrepreneurship but don’t know where to start. Maybe you’re weighing financial stability against happiness. Or maybe you just need space to say out loud what you’ve been afraid to admit: this isn’t fulfilling anymore. I’ve been there—questioning purpose, stuck in jobs that drained me, and rebuilding from scratch. Now I help people create realities out of the ideas they once thought were too crazy to chase. You don’t have to figure out your next move alone.

I’ve spent much of my adult life in pursuit of a creative career — primarily as an actor — but that journey has often required side paths, pivots, and full-on reinventions to make ends meet or rediscover momentum. Along the way, I’ve tried everything from retail and logistics to graphic design, real estate, web development, and even full-time programming after completing a coding bootcamp. Some of these paths stuck longer than others. Some didn’t go the distance. But each one taught me something about resourcefulness, resilience, and what it means to choose a life on your own terms. At the heart of each shift was the desire to support myself in ways that felt aligned — to earn a living without selling out the core of who I was. That wasn’t always easy. Learning new skills as an adult — especially under financial pressure — takes grit. And while I often carry a deep belief in my ability to learn and adapt, that doesn’t mean the fear of making a wrong move wasn’t real. What’s helped me most is learning to tune into my gut: regularly checking in and asking if where I’m headed still feels like home to me. I’ve come to see that the only real mistake is staying stuck in something that no longer reflects who you are, just because it once did. Perhaps the biggest lesson has come from my forays into real estate investing and entrepreneurship — ventures that reshaped how I relate to money, risk, and possibility. They helped me shed a scarcity mindset and embrace one of potential. I’ve learned not to regret the things that didn’t pan out. Every attempt taught me how to pivot with love instead of fear. And even when circumstances forced my hand, like when a lucrative startup job collapsed beneath me, I found ways to turn disruption into opportunity. Whether or not I always “succeed” in the way I imagined, I’m proud to keep choosing a life that reflects who I am. That’s the kind of success I now measure by.

From October 2020 to September 2021, I was unemployed and navigating a really tough job market. To stay afloat during that time, I tapped into the gig economy and explored side hustles. I started with Shipt deliveries, then leveraged connections from college to land freelance work in PR and copywriting. Once I landed a full-time job in September 2021, I stepped back from side hustles to focus on my new role. But when I was unexpectedly laid off again (and then re-hired a week later), I jumped back in. I began freelancing in social media for a skincare brand—work I kept doing for a full year, even while transitioning into my current job in May 2023. These days, I also post my own skincare content online, which lets me combine a personal passion with creative work. I’ve learned that side hustles can be a powerful way to make progress toward your financial goals (whether it’s saving for a car, building an emergency fund, or just having extra money for travel or fun purchases). They can also be an outlet for creativity and personal interests that your full-time job doesn’t fulfill. While side hustles can be great, balancing everything takes strategy, boundaries, and self-awareness to avoid burnout. I’d love to help others find that balance and build side income in a way that feels sustainable.

I’ve built my career outside the box—shaping a non-traditional path as both a freelancer and entrepreneur. After earning my degree, I worked as a service provider for 11+ years before diving headfirst into entrepreneurship. OOver the past 5+ years, I’ve worked as a CEO, freelancer, and entrepreneur. I’ve also explored 100+ side hustles—from flipping items for profit to being paid to travel and make content around the world. Along the way, I’ve launched multiple businesses, built a private coaching practice, grown a blog with 500k+ metrics, and stepped into publishing, public speaking, and soon, releasing my book It’s Time To Manifest Your Vision. My journey shows that you don’t have to follow a linear career path to create success—you can design a life that blends passion, freedom, and impact while thriving on your own terms. But finding those terms, and manifesting it, is where we'll start!

Back in 2014, I wanted to be able to work from home because I had 3 kids at the time and wanted to be around more for them. I had some experience working as an instructional designer and creating online courses for students at the university I graduated from, as well as a degree in Mathematics. So I decided to take those skills and find people who needed short term help on projects or others who wanted a freelancer to do some overflow work from time to time. My first freelance job only paid $50 for probably a full days work, but it helped me begin to get an online reputation for quality work on a freelancing site. Soon I had a longer term contract that paid fairly well, and slowly was able to work my way up to several regular clients and consistent part time work. During this time, I learned how to negotiate for higher rates, manage client expectations, and when to turn down job offers, as well as juggle multiple projects, and market myself effectively in the freelance world. Over several years, my clients became increasingly better quality, and I was able to begin working full time. Now I have an employee myself, so that I can pass off extra work to him, and I have been through the hiring process several times since I worked with independent contractors as well. Most of what I have learned came through trial and error and running things by my husband who has served as my business coach. I also talked to a small business development center to take things to the next level a couple of years ago.

Life has challenged me in many ways: navigating divorce, raising 2 children as a single parent, experiencing job loss, and facing burnout. There were times I felt overwhelmed and stuck, unsure how to move forward amid so much change. What helped me most were honest moments of being truly heard, developing steady wellness routines, and learning to be patient with myself through the process. My experience as a doctor and trained listener deepened my understanding of how powerful it is to simply show up with care and attention. Now, I want to offer that same steady, compassionate presence to anyone facing similar struggles. Whether it’s relationship changes, family transitions, career shifts, or the feeling of being stuck,- I’m here to listen, support, and help you find your way forward, one conversation at a time

I was in a toxic marriage for over ten years. On the surface it looked fine, but underneath there was infidelity, emotional abuse, and a constant feeling of being stuck. I tried counseling many times but often walked away feeling like no one really understood what I was going through. It wasn’t until I leaned on peer support that things started to click and I could finally see a way forward. As a full-time working mom of four, I had to find a way to keep everything afloat while also rebuilding myself. Some days I crushed it. Other days I cried in my car between meetings. But I never stopped moving toward a better life. Now, I’m in a relationship that began during total life chaos and has become something healthy and grounding. I’ve spent years helping other women navigate this kind of mess, especially those trying to juggle motherhood, work, and self-worth all at once. I share honestly because I’ve lived it. And I’m here if you need someone who gets it.

I experienced several mental health challenges (anxiety, depression, psychosis, mood changes, trauma, stigma) as a young teenager, and over the years, I worked hard to learn to cope with those challenges. Along this journey, I realized that I have a passion for mental health advocacy and that I genuinely want to help others who are struggling with mental health challenges. I also realized that I need a path to financial stability. These realizations inspired me to start my own mental health advocacy business. Over the years, I have learned effective strategies to help me maintain my state of mental health recovery while also running a business that has been growing rapidly. Now, I am offering my expertise to those who have lived experience with mental health struggles, so that you too, can create income streams by sharing your mental health story. Let's take the first step of turning your pain into profit, and we can book a time to connect!

I know how it feels to be broken down by family, marriage, and expectations, wondering if you'll ever get back up again. I grew up as a parentified eldest daughter in an abusive home, left an unhealthy marriage and career, and came out the other side as a single mom of two boys who created a brand new life out of nothing. I got into therapy. I went no contact with my family. I got sober. I bought a home on my own. I launched three businesses: two service-based (academic consulting and nutrition counseling) and one brick-and-mortar, independent bookstore. While on some days it still feels impossible, I refuse to give up. I know what it's like to feel stuck and defeated and use my experiences to help women who've been through similar struggles. Women who have given of themselves, carrying too much for too long. If you are ready to reclaim your power, break free from old narratives, and build an authentic life that is entirely your own, reach out to see if we are a good fit :)
