Life IS learning, growing and evolving.

I cannot stand to be bored. I am hungry for learning, always! Which is why I have consistently chosen (and continue to choose) to challenge myself, from outdoor adventures, to traveling to foreign lands, to leaving a “good enough” relationship for something unknown, to moving to a new country and learning a new language, to switching careers at 40, to adding to my coaching certifications…if I can learn, grow and evolve from it, I am in!

In fact, I believe our “divine purpose” in life is to continuously learn, grow, and evolve. To be in a constant state of becoming. Through my coaching, I help you embrace that life IS ongoing change. It is through the realization that we are in constant evolution that we release our fear of change and become open to personal growth as an essential skill to learn. I also believe that we are GLORIOUS works in progress and I love helping women drop the perfectionism that keeps us chained down and miserable.

Let’s just see what happens!

I need change regularly and a chance to explore the unknown, and literally “see what happens!” when we try something new…a restaurant, a career, a new piece of furniture, a recipe, or even a new country! Life is meant to be at both exciting and just a little bit terrifying!

I encourage and support women to playfully and courageously explore the unknown. You’ll discover that when you push beyond what you thought you were capable of doing or knowing and face your fears, you’ll end up deepening your self-awareness and your ability to be comfortable jumping into anything life throws your way! Discomfort is a wise teacher and it’s where our growth happens.

Knowing how YOU function matters

I am against a one-size fits-all model for pretty much anything. What is right for you may not be right for me and it’s our “job” to figure out what is right for ourselves. I function best with quiet mornings, dairy-free foods, and candles lit all winter long. My husband functions best listening to talk radio while he works (that would drive me crazy!). My kids have a lot of freedom in how they manage their lives, interests, and responsibilities. Our differences matter to our happiness and well-being!

I help you understand that knowing how YOU function is the first step to knowing who you are. By identifying your needs, dreams, desires, frustrations, passions, and even paradoxes, you understand the impact all of these details make on your life.  As a result, you establish clearer boundaries in your relationships, know how to take better care of yourself, and feel empowered to create systems and habits that support living your best life.

Slow down and dig in. That’s where the magic happens!

Cocktail party chit-chat or sitting in the corner with one person talking about near-death experiences? Yup, I’m the latter. The more deep and intimate the better. And having plenty of time to dig in and uncover the juicy bits while doing it in a cozy, beautiful space, well…then I’m in heaven!

I believe that when we’re deliberate in slowing down and digging in we create an opportunity to open up to ourselves so we can discover our deepest and truest self. I create an environment of calm and quiet reflection to remove the sense of urgency to “go fast and figure this out now!” so we can mindfully and soulfully invest the time and energy needed to dig in and uncover the core of who we are.
