My Story

I learned firsthand what happens when we ignore the warning signs

"I didn't find this work in a classroom. I found it in the middle of my own unraveling."

I spent years in corporate America performing at a high level, managing national accounts, leading teams, building programs from scratch, all as a mom and a wife, all while quietly carrying burnout, misalignment, and the weight of being underestimated in a male-dominated industry.

I know what it means to listen to your body, because listening to mine once saved my life. When my heart tried to fail and stop, I paid attention, and that made all the difference. But this last year, I stopped listening again. I let the noise of corporate life drown out everything my body was telling me, until it was screaming so loud I couldn't ignore it anymore. That's when I knew: this wasn't the life I was meant for.

When a co-worker asked me to lead a Women in Leadership Employee Resource Group (ERG), I was scared. I felt completely incapable. But she looked at me and said "What if it all works out?" and something inside me knew I had to say yes. So I did. And it all just came to me. I listened to myself and the women around me, led from my heart, and I killed it.

The impact I was making on those women lit something up in me that nothing else at work could touch. It was the only thing getting me through. Leading that group made me realize: this is what my heart is called to do.

Now I'm at the beginning of something I was always meant to build, created for anyone who is exactly where I was, by someone who knows what it costs to stay stuck and what it takes to move.
