Are you living
your dream?

Before you read testimonials and learn more about what
I offer as a coach, I want you to read my story.

You might see yourself in pieces of it:
In the pain of not living the life you know deep down you want,
In the darkness of avoiding your own intuition,
In the fear of setting out on your own path.

The biggest lesson I’ve learned:

Your life is made for you to author.
It’s your story; no one else’s.

By slowing down and letting go of “shoulds,” roles, and expectations,
you open the door to write your own story, and to live your own life.

My story

At 19 years old, I found myself in the midst of a quarter life crisis. Before you laugh and ask how a 19 year old could be going through a “crisis,” hear me out. It was late at night and I was having a panic attack, sitting on top of some monkey bars at my college campus. This thought kept coming into my head: “Why am I alive?” Over an over again it came to me and over and over again I didn’t have a good answer. I didn’t know. All I knew was that I’d been doing what I’d been told to do, what I thought would make people happy, what society expected me to do… what I should do. In that moment, I realized that I wasn’t happy with my life. “If this is it, what’s the point?” That was the thought that got me started.

About a month later I was lying in my hammock finishing a book called The Happiness of Pursuit about how humans go on big quests to find fulfillment. I started to sob. At the time, I was living a life entirely based around “shoulds.” I was an RA because I was supposed to be responsible, I was taking seven classes because I was supposed to be high-achieving, I drank and hooked up with people I didn’t know because society told me that was “cool.” In every way, I was living a life that had been built for me, not BY ME. In that moment, I decided to quit my job, withdraw from school, and backpack in Southeast Asia. I decided to create my own life, follow my own dreams, and live the way I wanted to.

Over the next FIVE years (note: it takes a LONG time to change everything about the way you live, and that’s okay because life is long!) I went through the lowest lows yet, facing the desire to die, and the highest highs, which surprisingly came not from the grand achievements:

~ Publishing a book ~
~ Traveling the world ~
~ Signing $20,000 clients ~

But from the little things and the impact:

~ Witnessing wind and sun dance with leaves ~
~ My book giving someone words to describe their life experience for the first time ~
~ Helping clients let go of negative lives to embrace their majesty ~

I’ve realized that the real joys of life don’t come from what society tells us they do. It’s not about how much money you make, how big your house is, how attractive you or significant other is. It’s not about making your parents proud. It’s not about having a “good” job. It’s not about being productive or efficient.

It’s about being you!! It’s about being here with what is. It’s about serving the world in ways that only you can. It’s about loving your life, the pain and the joy. It’s about being real and honest. It’s about feeling; feeling alive, feeling emotion, feeling at all. It’s about living each moment the way you’d want to if you were looking back from your death bed.

People have told me that they feel safe with me, to share how they’re really doing, to open up about their dreams. A shocking number of clients have told me that working with me has been way more helpful than therapy, including one who was in therapy for TWELVE years. One client even said that my super power is intuitively bringing the best out of people.

If I didn’t think that I could actually help people, I would have changed careers a while ago. It’s my clients who help me believe in myself. Because I’ll be honest with you: I’m human, too, and when I’m going through a dark time in life, sometimes I wonder if I’m cut out to be a coach, or an author, or an entrepreneur.

What I’ve realized, with the help of mentors, clients, and loved ones is that it’s not perfection that qualifies a coach, but a genuine acceptance of the realness of life. It’s about admitting that I’m not perfect, but that I care deeply about helping you love your life. I’ve been at the pits of despair, and I’ve seen the peaks of euphoria. What I’m striving for in my own life now is a sense of genuine fulfillment, peace, and joy, not from chasing highs or avoiding lows, but from surrendering to my callings, to the things that I’m being asked to do. Through giving my life over to my calling to serve the world, I find that I’m already where I’ve always been trying to get.

So, yes, I would love to serve you. If you’re not where you want to be, if you’re struggling to feel confident in yourself, if you’re lost, stuck, or just depressed, I’m here for you. My pain, my suffering, my darkness informs my purpose every day. I love my work because I have the true privilege of accompanying and supporting people on their journeys to create powerful transformation and change. That matters to me. You matter to me because you matter to the world, whether you know it or not.

If you’re here, reading these words, it means that you’re ready for something more. You wouldn’t have finished reading this if you weren’t.
