This is the story behind the work, the wisdom that built it, and the why that keeps it going.


I was doing the work of leadership long before I had the language, confidence, or support to fully claim it, often fumbling, succeeding, and surviving in silence. 

But I didn’t always have the right people, the right guidance, or the right tools at the right times. So I led with what I had, instinct, intuition, and a fierce commitment to serve, even when I felt alone and guarded.

Throughout my journey as an employee and entrepreneur, I’ve held many leadership roles. I’ve known both trauma and triumph. And even with over two decades of experience helping others heal, grow, and transform, my own path through entrepreneurship and leadership has often been heavy with self-sacrifice.

Like many of us, I internalized a narrow story about what leadership and success should look like and paid for it with my wellbeing.

I hired the wrong people. I applied strategies that didn’t fit my values. I performed strength while feeling disoriented and disconnected. I compared myself to people who weren’t walking my path. I chased someone else’s version of success and it left me burned out, angry, and doubting myself.

Even with deep expertise in leadership, mental health, emotional intelligence, adult learning, and organizational development, I still couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t “succeeding.” And when those "strategies" didn’t work for me, I punished myself.  

Over time, and with care, I realized I had been self-silencing. I wasn’t broken, I was suppressing anger that had never been welcomed, grief that had never been named, and truths I hadn’t given myself permission to speak.

When I finally allowed myself to feel fully, to honor my truth, my rage, my tenderness, everything began to shift. I stopped seeing those emotions as flaws and started honoring them as wisdom.

That’s when I stopped performing strength and started leading from my whole self, not just the polished parts the world demanded of me.


And I see you. 

I see you building your business, guiding teams, or stewarding a mission as a way to reclaim your joy and your power.

But the ways we’ve been taught to lead to strive, prove, and perform, often leave us overwhelmed, anxious, and unseen.

You may have achieved success on paper, but still feel disconnected from yourself in the process. 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: 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, leadership and success won’t cost you your health, your joy, or your truth.

With the right support, this way of being doesn’t just become possible, it becomes your new way forward.


Every leader’s path has seasons, and I’ve learned that the ones who flourish are those who allow their wholeness to lead and their wellbeing to sustain the way forward.

You may be in a season to restore, to align, or to reimagine, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

If you feel this may be your season to pause, align, or reimagine, I’d be honored to explore it with you in a Season of Leadership Call, a gentle, co-creative conversation to discover the path that meets you now.
