Helping women overcome overwhelm, self-doubt, people pleasing and limiting beliefs.
Experiences that Shaped Me
2 months after our daughter was born my husband was notified his National Guard unit was being deployed to Iraq during the second phase of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2004-05.
Jason spent 14 months "in the sand" and I spent 14 months raising 2 children under the age of 4.
Jason came home and we learned how to be a family all over again.
When Jason deployed to Iraq, I learned resilience. I also learned how easy it is to lose yourself while holding everything together for everyone else.
In March of 2020, our world, like everyone elses, was flipped upside down. Our son was a Senior in high school. He left school on March 20th and didn't go back.
Our daughter was a Junior... the first time her class was all together was marching practice for graduation.
His senior year of Lacrosse, her senior year of Cheerleading was cancelled, no proms, no senior assemblies, so many special events that we all take for granted as part of growing up, simply didn't happen.
Watching my children lose experiences they could never get back reminded me how little control we sometimes have over life's circumstances. It deepened my appreciation for resilience, perspective, and focusing on what truly matters.
Throughout the journey of marriage and motherhood, I've worked for a local construction company. I started part-time when our daughter was in kindergarten. My unofficial title was "The Lady that Does Everything Sales Sucks at." Over the years I learned new roles, developed new skills, and eventually became Vice President and CFO despite having an Associates Degree in Engineering.
My background includes years of leadership, financial oversight, team development, coaching, thought work, nervous system regulation, breathwork, and personal transformation.
My experiences may not look exactly like yours.
But I understand what it feels like to carry expectations that no longer fit, to lose yourself beneath responsibility, and to wonder if there is more to life than simply getting through it.
That's why I do this work.
