“I’ve been searching for a deeper understanding of who I am my whole life, and growing up self-love wasn’t in my vocabulary. I never knew how to show myself unconditional love and compassion. I’ve always been someone that feels everything, and I struggled as a kid and well into my early 20’s. I never knew how to set good emotional boundaries, the idea of vulnerability freaked me out, and I defined my self-worth based on my external achievements”.
Read More"I have always had quite a loud inner critic which tends to focus on all the things I'm not accomplishing or not doing right, so I've had to work very hard to quiet that voice. It can be a daily battle to remind myself to see what I have accomplished and what I have done right."
Read More"I've had a very winding career path so far and I've made several career decisions that went against the grain. Each time I had to realize that the decision was right for me, despite other people were telling me that I should do something different.”
Read More“The work I had done in my 20s shaped the woman I became in my 30s. I vowed to never live in the land of "one day" - you know that futuristic time zone where you insist you'll do all the things you delay doing today.

I am unabashedly and boldly declaring that relationships and connections with others are the only things that matter.”
Read More“I stayed motivated by going to as many events as I possibly could. I am invigorated by human connection and most inspired when I am around like-minded people, so I looked to spaces that hosted the types of communities I wanted to grow. In that journey, I also started something I called "solo experiences" which were sort of like solo date nights. Those solo experiences helped me become more in-tune with myself (as well as confident).”

It didn't tell me what to do when I hadn't achieved certain outcomes within the prescribed timeline. It didn't teach me to ask questions about what I wanted in and around life's checklist.

Read More"Building your own business is exciting and rewarding. You're able to create your own vision and set big goals. Sometimes lots of effort goes into meeting those goals, however, you don't see the results, at least not right away.”
