I know what it feels like to struggle through fear, change and loss. I lived most of my life “playing by the rules” and being what I thought everyone else wanted. But I never learned who I truly was and what made me happy. A series of painful experiences; including divorce, the death of my mother, who suffered with Parkinson’s, and my youngest brother’s sudden death shortly thereafter, thrust me on a journey of exploration and self-discovery. These experiences forced me to see that my life hadn’t turned out as I thought it would. I started to question why I was here and what was my purpose.

I knew then that I didn’t want to get to the end of my life, only to look back and see all the ways in which I allowed fear to hold me back and play it safe.

Determined to create a different ending, I stepped into my courage to find a new beginning. I decided to take the lead in my life and left the guilt behind. One of the outcomes of this brave new me was making the choice to leave a successful corporate Human Resources career and start a coaching and consulting practice. Building on my newfound strengths of confidence, compassion and courage, I shifted from living a fear-based life to one of purpose and freedom. I’ve learned how to let go, have faith and believe in myself. As a result, the blessings just keep coming.

Who knew by being my true self, I would discover a world of possibilities!
