About Me

28 Mile Beach Walk

I inherited the entrepreneur gene from my dad. He was a starter. As a teenager I made crafts in our garage and sold them on the weekends. It was exhilarating and I felt powerful. The years that followed school were a mixture of working for others and launching out on my own.

Not always prepared, I learned by mistakes more than wins. And I pushed on. I realized that I had good ideas.

They were not always believed in by those whose opinions mattered to me. So I felt like I was climbing a mountain on crutches. Lack of confidence and trying to please everyone held me back from recognizing and being proud of my own accomplishments.

One day I woke up and realized that my thoughts were valid, that they mattered. That I mattered, whether anyone else believed in me or not.

There was freedom in that-to own who I was. What others thought didn’t count so much. What I thought counted. Who did I know I was? More important, who did God say I was?

Dipping my toe in the water I ventured into owning who I was, what I knew, what I’d learned.

I had learned a lot about being inauthentic, about living up to others’ expectations and not my own. I learned about what worked and what didn’t in relationships. I knew well the weight of false guilt and the gut wrenching feeling of thinking everything bad in my life was my fault.

Through bouts of illness when I was “grounded” to my house, missing out on fun with friends and new experiences, I learned the lessens of stillness. So many insights came during those times of isolation.

I also learned gratefulness. I realized I could either complain about my life and what I was missing or I could embrace my life. I found many things to be grateful for in the darkest , most trying days. And it freed me.

Life is challenging. For all of us. It’s part of being human. We choose how we will navigate those challenges. In that we choose the outcome it will have on us. Will we come out better -stronger, more confident in who we are and our capabilities or will we become bitter and angry? Will we be crushed by life or energized? Will we be angry with God or learn to trust His goodness when things are hard?

I bring to my coaching clients years of education and training. The hours I have spent and still devote to studying how to be a better coach and serve my clients well are important to my practice. Also important to serving others are the experiences-the times I’ve fallen and picked myself up, the negative self-talk I had to overcome, the belittling and betrayal that I had to see for what it was. The ways that I have lived a false identity and forsaken it for the truth. The relational pains and joys. The angst of risk and the defeat of failure. The destructive ways to see life and those that are empowering.

I have not arrived and don’t expect to anytime soon. I will keep learning and growing and sharing what I learn with my clients.

There is so much power in seeing and embracing the truth and letting it transform us.

Who will you be on the other side of now?

About Me

I believe that we are each beautifully and uniquely made. That we have the potential to make a profound impact in our world. Whether it is to many or a few, we are made for greatness. Someone is counting on us to step into that. And in fulfilling what we were made for is joy.

My insights come from over 20 years of experience and training in personal development, mental and emotional wellness, career counseling and identity work. I continue to learn from other professionals in these fields as well as from my clients. With the fascinating recent data around neuroplasticity comes more proof that we CAN change in directions that we choose.

I believe that the principles of forgiveness, of gratitude, of moving intentionally through life are as relevant today as they always have been. Studies are proving the immense impact on our mental, emotional and our physical health.

I love working in this field of possibility. It is a huge honor to journey with others. I would love to journey with you.
