I’ve been coaching for decades, I just didn’t realize it. I’ve been so many things in my life: happy, friendless, afraid, strong, brave, determined, a second wife, a step-mom, a first-time mom, an ex-wife, lied to, hopeless, a waitress, injured, a fitness instructor, a runner, a paralegal, a teacher, a friend, a daughter, a cousin, a niece, obese, fit, shoe lover, pig collector, frustrated, hopeful, joyful, really sad. So many different experiences and roles and opportunities to learn and grow.

I’ve lived much of my life feeling insecure and not good enough and fat and unfulfilled and that my life would just always be that way. I’ve spent many years in the dark daring to feel as though there had to be more. Surely I deserved better – I just couldn’t imagine how it could/would happen. Sometimes I even wondered if it should.

​

I’ve worked sometimes - sporadically and sometimes diligently - on clearing out my ugly thoughts and setting myself straight and transforming my thinking in a way that has allowed me to KNOW that I'm pretty amazing.

​

And now, in my 50's, I've begun to reinvent myself.  Actually - I'm just excavating what was always there but was buried under years of putting others first (which wasn't always a bad thing).  I'm discovering talents and interests that I didn't know I had and it has begun to set me free.  I'm more me than I ever have been.   I see and do everything through a self-respect filter now and it has made all the difference.  

​

My mission is to guide other women back to their authentic selves so they can set themselves free to live their best lives.
