From Overwhelm & Anxiety to Alignment: Courage, Clarity, and Confidence.

Let’s be honest: you’re not here because you want someone to tell you what you already know. You’re here because you’ve hit that midlife moment where what used to make sense suddenly doesn’t. You’ve checked all the boxes, yet you can’t shake the feeling that life is quietly asking for more from you. You’re not broken. You’re being invited into reinvention.

​

I know what that feels like because I’ve lived it.

​

For years, I did everything that was expected of me, career, marriage, stability. All the things that looked good on paper. In my early 30s, something inside me began to shift. It felt like the matrix I’d been living in was crumbling. The version of success I had been taught to chase no longer fit who I was becoming. Beneath the surface, a new voice was whispering…there’s more for you.

​

During my divorce, that whisper turned into a fire. It wasn’t just the end of a marriage, it was the beginning of me choosing myself for the first time. I let go of the life I thought I “should” have and started exploring who I really was. I learned to golf, to ski, to say yes to new experiences simply because they sparked curiosity. That curiosity eventually pulled me to New York City, where I built a new life from scratch. However, I felt again that same inner knowing that I was meant for more.

​

After spending over 10 years in corporate life, I realized I didn’t want to spend my energy building someone else’s dream. I wanted to create something that was mine — something meaningful and something that would help others. So I left corporate life and moved to California with no clear plan other than to create something that felt meaningful and mine. When a new friend told me she had become a certified coach helping people change their lives and health, it was like everything inside me aligned. I knew in that instant that this is my path. I became a coach, not because it was easy, but because it was the most aligned thing I’d ever done. Coaching brought everything into alignment: my passion for human behavior, my fascination with the subconscious mind, and my desire to help others reclaim their power the way I had reclaimed mine whether in relationships, career, or health.

​

But reinvention didn’t end there, in my 40s, I kept saying yes to life in ways that surprised even me. I learned to surf, trained for triathlons, open water (ocean) swimming, racing sailboats and even — to my own shock — competed in a swim race from Alcatraz to San Francisco! I didn’t see these things as impossible; I saw them as invitations from my Higher Self. These weren’t just hobbies; they were declarations of freedom. Every time I tried something new, it built my self-confidence and proved to myself that it’s never too late to begin again.

​

And then, life asked me to grow in a different way…through loss and caretaking. I lost my father when I was fifteen, and decades later, I became the caretaker for my mother during the final two years of her life. She passed away in 2025, and that loss changed me on a soul level. We were deeply close, and caring for her was both a gift and a profound challenge. It taught me about the complexity of love and grief and how two emotions can coexist so fully.

​

From the outside, my life may have looked like it was falling apart — divorce, career changes, caregiving, loss, but I knew it was falling into place. Reinvention didn’t mean I avoided struggle and I had no choice but to trust what was emerging. At times, I was in a state of resistance. There were many dark nights, grief, doubt, and depression but I never stopped soul searching. 

​

I’ve studied the subconscious mind, manifestation, and the human spirit for decades. Now coaching women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond, I help them  consciously create their own aligned lives, rewrite stories that keep them stuck and to live boldly in their truth instead of fear, just as I did.

​

This chapter of your life isn’t the end of your story. It’s the rewrite where you finally become the woman you were always meant to be.
