Like all stories mine too began as a seedling. I was uprooted from my original home and re rooted shortly after birth into a new home, one which provided me more opportunity, love and support than I could have imagined for thriving. I was adopted. Adoption comes with its own set of life challenges to grow through.

Teen years were a doozy. They came with rounds of therapy and bouts of major emotional highs and lows. I wish now as I stand in my power there had been coaching available. Therapy was the only option. It helped me, for sure! While I fully and whole heartedly believe therapy has its place, so does coaching. While our brains are still developing coaching would have been so helpful for addressing mindset, negative self -talk, knowing how to say NO and standing in my power. While I am THANKFUL, I never have to repeat those years, my children will, and so will yours. Which is just one more reason I stand committed to bridging the gap from the inside out without judgement simply acknowledging and bringing the tools and practicing the methods available to empower our youth to better prepare when faced with the same decisions today. Teen years sucked. I played competitive sports. I wasn’t close with the cool girls, I got along better with the guys, as you can guess, that caused its own turmoil for me. I was labeled, I think I even labeled others to avoid being the target. I wasn’t perfect but I learned how to handle it. The older I got I made amends with my middle school years. I lost a friend in Highschool. It changed me. Forever. The thing about it is, no matter how deeply we try or how often we pray it into the universe we cannot protect our children from pain, from judgement, from growth, from life. We can empower them. We can start while their brains are still developing so they will have the foundations and tools for a lifetime.

Fast forward the college years. I got married to the military. Just kidding. I married my husband who is in the military. I uprooted and moved across the country to Colorado, where I knew no one. I started a family. My husband was gone more than he was home and if you’re military, you know how the story goes from there. I got my master’s with my youngest 2 in tow. We moved again across the country. Started another job, another school and the story continued. We moved again in 2018 to Texas and had our third daughter in 2019 she was born at 31 weeks premature, with a 42 day stay in the NICU. No one can actually prepare you for that. It is about mindset, survival and self-care and self-awareness. We were several hundred miles from family.

That brings us almost present day. I am grateful for my journey. All of it. We are semi settled in North Carolina and still active in the military. I have worked in the non-profit sector and in sales. I have most enjoyed my time in the Organizational Consultant arena. Taking on the challenges of toxic corporate environments, failed leadership, encouraging more productive work teams. Training, coaching, growing, stretching others has always been a passion of mine. Over the course of my life, same as many, resiliency has been the foundation of forward momentum. Mindset, gratitude when it is hard, and knowing, not thinking, I will make it to the other side are what makes life adventurous. It’s what makes it possible. I am here to provide those same things for you.
