That’s me in a nutshell. 

Here’s a bit of a deeper dive for anyone who’s interested—Feel free to skip it. 

In 2015, shortly after getting sober, I began practicing yoga to help myself heal. I joined a women’s recovery group and implemented journaling and meditation practices. I embraced a holistic spiritual approach to recovery, and I began to rediscover my power and peace. I hired a life coach and began the deep soul work of identifying and healing past traumas. I learned to trust my higher self and my intuition. 

In January of 2017, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. My spiritual practice supported me through my diagnosis, treatment—including a bilateral mastectomy—and recovery. My faith in the Universe was deepened and strengthened through this process, for which I am immensely grateful.

In May of 2021 I earned my 200-hour yoga teacher certification, and in November of 2021 I traveled to Tulum in Mexico to attend a yoga retreat. While there, I experienced a creative awakening and spiritual shift. Through ancient Mayan healing practices, I was able to connect directly to Source and receive heart-centered guidance and healing. It was there that the trajectory of my life irrevocably changed.

At that time, I had been working in the mortgage industry since 2004 and had built a lucrative business. While it afforded me a very good living, it had become toxic. Success came at the expense of self. Society and the industry had conditioned me to grind, to hustle, to overwork, and to wear it as a badge of honor. Boundaries were consistently crossed. Balance was a castle in the sky. The degree to which I felt I had to be accessible to my customers, co-workers, and referral partners was unsustainable and soul crushing. I decided there had to be a better way. 

I enrolled in the ICF-accredited Dharma Coaching Institute on the flight home from Tulum, and over the six months that followed I completed a dual certification as a Dharma and Spiritual Life Coach. I promptly quit my 6-figure job in mortgage and started coaching women. I chose to throw caution to the wind, make a leap of faith, and trust fall into the Universe. So far, so good.

For the first time in my life, I am allowing myself to be guided by my heart, my intuition, and my Higher Self instead of by my head and my ego…and I have never been happier! I am a Reiki healer. I’ve learned to read the Akashic records. I am working with a badass group of women to create a community cooperative. I co-facilitate women’s groups. I teach yoga.  

I co-host a podcast called The Dharma Diaries. I recorded some episodes on my own in 2022 and they were shit because I was still in that space where I cared about external validation and other people’s opinions of me. So I scrapped them and decided to start over with reimagined content and a fantastic co-host. Because now I can do stuff like that!! 

I am writing a book, and I eventually plan to co-host destination retreats to provide healing encounters like the one I experienced in Tulum. These days, I work only on what lights me up and feeds my soul.

My work is to create, to experience, to grow, to heal, and to support women in leaving behind the false and limiting beliefs that our identities and worth are determined by what we DO and not whom we ARE. Fuck societal programming and conditioning. Fuck the patriarchy. Fuck anyone or anything that challenges our personal sovereignty and autonomy. Fuck the narrative that external validation and material belongings are requirements for success. Fuck being farmed for our output and told that we should feel grateful for the “privilege.” 

I am awake. I am alive. I am co-creating with the Universe the life I came here to live, and it feels fucking MAGICAL. I am here to help my sisters build our bridge to a new paradigm. I am here to welcome back the Divine Feminine and help envision and birth a beautiful new collective. I am an entrepreneur, I am a spiritual being, I am a visionary, I am a Pantheist, I am an artist, I am an entertainer, I am a goddess, I am powerful, and I am ready.  

And so are you.
