I’ve been where you are…

Throughout my 13-year corporate career, I felt a persistent hum of agitation subtly camped out in the back of my mind. A deep knowing that,"this isn't what I'm meant for".

When I was in my early 20’s, I dismissed it as naïveté. In my late 20’s, I tried convincing myself I could find joy in a career that I instinctively knew didn’t align with my multi-passionate, visionary needs. In my early 30’s, I actively forced golden handcuffs on my wrists in order to avoid my truth.

That part of me simmered with anticipation for over a decade. It was the part of me that knew what I truly wanted (to pursue entrepreneurship), but was too scared to face.

I did what was expected of me. I achieved conventional success. I was sought after and took every opportunity I could get my hands on. Objectively, I did some really cool sh*t. But inevitably, I kept coming up short - unfulfilled, underrepresented and underutilized.

Finally, after a string of major disappointments and energetic burnout, I reached a pivotal realization: I can be grateful for my current circumstance, yet own that I am meant for something MUCH bigger. Something epic.

And I knew I wasn’t going to be able to find that something, I’d have to build it myself. It was time to make shift happen.

So, I got to work. I got crystal clear on what drives me to action on a deep, human level. I tapped into my passions, skills, expertise & values, and I defined my big WHY.

I created a framework for making clear career decisions that I felt excited about and convicted toward. I put practices & processes in place, and assembled a support system of mentors, coaches and my most trusted allies to make it inevitable that I commit to my newly crystallized vision.

It was GO TIME. I was committed to build a disruptive Coaching + Strategic Consulting business, as well as become a content creator, thought leader and innovator. I set out to scale the damn mountain.

I left my corporate career in 2021 and built a successful business that allows me to show up as my most creative, top-performing, FULL self every single day.

I feel more happy, energized and in alignment than I ever have in my life. I have total freedom and autonomy, and I am finally THRIVING. I’ve created a level of fulfillment I nearly lost hope was possible.

The cherry on top – I replaced my six-figure salary within one year of leaving corporate, doubled it the next, and tripled it the year after that. And damnit, I want that for you too.

I believe…
