THIS IS WHAT IS TRUE:
It was never them.
It was me.
It took me most of my life to understand this.
I had to lose everything (not once, mind you, but several times) to finally admit that something deeper was going on.
That life was mirroring back my inner state of mind.
​
​But let’s go back a bit. Back to the time I thought I had it all—a husband I adored, a wide circle of friends, a great job.
My inner state of mind must have been pretty good, right?
​
Not exactly.
​
I had done a lot of work on myself—true. I was allowing abundance in—yes. But I had only scratched the surface. I hadn’t drilled down to the real issues.
I wasn’t aware of the thoughts I was thinking on a daily basis, the false beliefs that were causing chronic guilt and unhappiness.
-
“I need to be perfect for people to love me”
-
“I can’t say no, or I’ll be rejected”
-
“I can’t be honest, or I’ll hurt the ones I care about”
-
“I have to put the needs of others before my own”
-
“I have to be nice. It’s my job to keep the peace”
These thoughts drove me to a point of exhaustion. I had a big, beautiful life, but I also had a severe case of anxiety that was wringing the joy from it.
I could barely breathe.
​
I didn’t realize the anxiety was my inner wisdom, trying to get my attention.
​
I just wanted it to go away.
​
So I stuffed it down. And covered it up. And medicated myself.
The truth was, I was too afraid to hear what my heart was saying.
-
“You need to end a thirty-year friendship”
-
“You aren’t ready to have a child”
-
“You need to question your childhood religion”
-
“You’re tired of being bound by social obligation”
-
“You have a deeper purpose”
Deep down, I truly wanted the freedom to be myself. I wanted to make my own rules and live by my own values—not the ones chosen for me by others.
But I was terrified to give up the life that I had, in order to have the life that I longed for.
So I stayed on the surface. And let things get worse.
In the end, I had to lose almost everything before I was willing to take responsibility for what was showing up in my life. I had to be cracked open before I would listen to the guidance system that had been there all along—an internal voice that was directing me to a life I could have never imagined.
It took me a long time to own up to the truth that I'm a powerful woman who (surprise! surprise!) craves a contemplative life.
It was hard to admit that as much as I love people, I'm also an introvert and need time by myself.
And yet I had to. Because my deep purpose in life wouldn’t stop calling.
I began to question all my foundational beliefs and took a roller coaster ride of self-discovery that changed me forever.
Along the way I met several great teachers—one of whom was Martha Beck. After training with this amazing woman, I started my own coaching practice where I now use my gifts of strength, intuition, and empathy to help people just like you face all that they need to face with courage and self-love.
This is the work I was born to do.
If you're ready, I can help you free yourself from a life that no longer serves you.
But please know that you don’t have to do it all at once. You don’t have to make a huge leap.
All you have to do is take the first step.
