"I always wanted to be in the business of helping people to expand, and rise up.

For them to see the greatness that *I* could see in them"

Who am I and what am I doing here?   

​

I'm a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach with a passion for helping people discover their true potential.

 

As a child, I was often described as a 'social butterfly' with boundless energy and creativity. My report cards consistently noted my potential, always with the caveat 'if only she could focus.' What we didn't realize then was that my whirlwind of ideas and difficulty with traditional focus weren't character flaws – they were undiagnosed ADHD, a different way of processing the world around me.

 

At 17, life threw me a curveball when I became a single mom. Suddenly, I heard a new refrain: "You've ruined your life, your chances, your potential!" But I refused to let that define me. I juggled raising my son, full-time college courses, and a 30+ hour work week. Looking back, I never saw myself as strong or resourceful – I was too busy trying to prove I hadn't ruined everything.

 

Years passed, and I checked all the "adulting" boxes – marriage, house, another baby, stable job. But a decade in, I found myself wondering: 

​

"Is this IT?    The rest of my life?   Go to work, come home, pay bills?  I wanted to 'unsubscribe' from this version of Adulthood!      

​

Searching for fulfillment, I dove into personal development, travel, and multiple side hustles. At one point, I was juggling five jobs, including being a Power Yoga instructor! I was constantly chasing the next dopamine hit while berating myself for being "scattered."

 

Inevitably, burnout caught up with me. A hospital stay and an Autoimmune disease diagnosis forced me to confront the unsustainable pace I was living. It became clear that this was not just about scaling back; it was about redefining my priorities and cultivating a life that resonated with my true self. I learned to listen to my body, honor my needs, and seek a path that aligned with my values and passions.

 

That's when I discovered CliftonStrengths. It became my GPS for aligning my actions with my authentic self. This powerful tool helped me see that my perceived weaknesses – my "social butterfly" nature, my diverse interests, my ability to juggle multiple roles – were actually my greatest strengths.

 

Today, I've left the corporate world behind to fully embrace my own path. I start each day with a kick-ass playlist, quality time with my dogs, and a strong coffee. I work, play, and rest in alignment with my goals and, more importantly, with my soul.

 

My journey has taught me that our challenges often hide our greatest potential. I'm here to help others uncover their strengths and truly glow up. 

​

 MY hope is that you'll take the leap to invest in yourself and your STRENGTHS to access a whole lot more possibility in your life!
