I help high-achieving professionals move from burnout to alignment to lead with peace, purpose, and power.

I guide my clients from from overperforming and depleted to purpose-driven and grounded in peace.

Most high-achieving professionals don’t burn out because they’re weak. They burn out because they’ve been living out of alignment.

We’re taught all the wrong rules about success:
Get the degree. Climb the ladder. Keep pushing. Don’t slow down. Don’t feel too much.

I know because I followed those rules for 25 years.
Degrees. Executive title. Beautiful family. Polished LinkedIn profile.

But inside? I was disconnected, exhausted, and spiritually dry.

My cortisol levels rivaled a 3rd shift ER doctor.

I was functioning.
But I wasn’t living.

Then I asked myself the real questions:
— What if success could feel like peace, not pressure?
— What if ambition didn’t have to cost me my soul?
— What if alignment wasn’t a luxury, but the real goal?

That inquiry became a calling.
I left corporate, rewrote the rules, and now help others do the same.

My Approach: Sacred Success™
Where spiritual alignment meets high-performance leadership.

I combine 25 years of executive experience + MBA + nervous system regulation with deep spiritual and somatic work to help high achievers:

✔ Redefine success on their own terms
✔ Heal patterns of burnout and overgiving
✔ Lead with clarity, peace, and purpose
✔ Move through the Spiritual Alignment Spectrum™—from Achiever to Aligned Leader

What I Know for Sure:
– Success without soul isn’t success—it’s survival
– Small spiritual shifts create massive outer change
– Your nervous system is the foundation of sustainable impact
– You don’t have to choose between ambition and alignment
– You were never meant to do this alone

You don’t need to push harder to feel fulfilled.
You just need to get aligned.

Let’s walk that path together.

The power of human connection is greater than anything. 

Yesterday, a group of us gathered to close out 2025 and bring in 2026 with more intention.

We experienced deep connection.
Honest conversations.
Moments of deep reflection. 

We released things we're not carrying forward any longer:

Limiting thoughts and beliefs.
Old stories.
Unhealthy habits.
Relationships we've outgrown.
Anything that no longer aligns to where we're going.
Or who we are becoming. 

We took time to dream big, bold, beautiful dreams for our lives. 
Ones that we don't know how they'll happen or when. 

But, we are inviting in the trust and faith that they will in divine timing and in even better ways than we can think or imagine. 

We ended with a commitment to support one another in life and business. 

If you were there, thank you for joining. If you want to do your own visioning, DM me and I'll share the prompts we used yesterday.

Helping Leaders Redefine Success & Reclaim Purpose | Author, Coach, Speaker

I used to wait for the "right time" to see the people I love. Now I just go.

This weekend, I made an impromptu trip to Chicago to see college friends.

It could have been a weekend of errands. Lounging at home. Catching up on things that feel urgent but aren't.

Instead, we created memories.

When I set my intentions for 2026, I decided that connection with loved ones would be a priority, not an afterthought. 

Something I prepared for, not a "nice to have if I get to it."

So when the opportunity came up, I said yes.

And everyone made time to get together. Friends, and their partners. 

It took a little extra effort. 
A little planning. 
A little choosing what matters over what's easy.

But that's how the best moments happen.

Not by accident.
By intention.

As you start this week, I want to ask you:

What's one thing that would bring you joy, peace, or fulfillment this week?

Not the thing on your to-do list.
The thing that feeds your soul.

Time will pass regardless.

Let's make it count.

What's your intention for this week? Drop it below. 

If you want to stay on track this week, I've created a daily alignment template. Link below in the comments to download.

“I’ve been here before,” I thought to myself, as I signed her book. 

Years ago, when I was writing my life vision statement, before I wrote my first book, I pictured this. 

I would close my eyes and see a table of books stacked with my book.

I would see my name on the cover of the book and a pen in my hand. 

I’d see someone standing in front of me and me asking, “How do you spell your name?”

I saw it so clearly and felt what it would feel like before it happened.

This weekend, I did another book signing for my second book, Lanterns of Light, at a tea shop with a group of amazing women.

As I was signing books, I remembered my vision.

The one I held onto before it was real, before I wrote a single word, and before I even knew how it would happen. 

Manifesting what we want starts in our imagination. 

In the quiet moments when we allow ourselves to see in our mind’s eye what doesn’t exist yet.

In the faith to hold onto something before you have proof.

Then when the vision finally becomes reality, it’s even sweeter. 

Not because it surprised you.
But because you saw it first. 
You believed it first.
And now you get to live it. 

If you have a big, bold, beautiful vision for your life right now and it hasn’t shown up yet, don’t give up.

Keep seeing it.
Keep believing it.
Keep taking aligned action, every single day. 

It's already on its way.

And, if you want support, schedule a complimentary clarity call with me. It is my passion to help my clients envision and then create lives they love.

Your best days are still ahead of you.

Not louder. More aligned.
Not busier. More intentional.
Not more impressive. More yours.

When you believe the best is still coming:

You dream bigger.
Doors open.
Synchronicities appear.
Connections find you that change everything.

You find the courage to say "yes" to opportunities you couldn't have imagined.

The life you built got you here.

The life you're designing will take you further.

Your best days are ahead of you.

And somewhere inside, you already know that.

The busiest people I know aren't the most effective. They're the most exhausted.

I used to wear busyness like a badge.

Back-to-back meetings.
A calendar with no white space.
Always running to the next thing.

I thought it meant I was important. Needed. Successful.

Then I noticed a pattern.

When I ignored every signal to stop, had no boundaries, and kept giving past the point of depletion, I became resentful, stressed, and the worst version of myself.

Busyness is often a hiding place.

It keeps us from the harder questions:

→ Is this actually moving me forward?
→ Am I doing what matters or just what's urgent?
→ When did I last think instead of just react?

The most effective people I know protect their space.

Space to think.
Space to plan.
Space to do nothing, so they can do the right things well.

Productivity isn't about doing more.

It's about doing what matters.

Quick check-in:
Which one do you need more of this week?

1. Space to think
2. Space to breathe
3. Space to say no

"I don't have time" is rarely about time.

It's about priorities.

Early in my coaching days, I worked with a college student who had no structure.

He was super smart, went to classes and did well in school, but didn't make time to apply for internships or a co-op.

I asked him to buy a paper planner. 

He looked at me like I was crazy, but he listened and we organized his daily rhythm and weekly structure.

We scheduled time for him to exercise, attend classes, to study, callhis parents and friends, to go out, and he still had 3 hours of free time.

He was shocked.

Guess what happened?

He got his applications in. 
Got the internship. 
Landed a co-op he was excited about. 
Reconnected with family and friends back home. 

And he was genuinely happier.

What I've learned is that "I don't have time" usually means one of three things:

→ It's not actually a priority (and that's okay to admit)
→ I'm afraid of what happens if I try (something we don’t talk about often enough)
→ I'm avoiding something harder underneath (addressing root issues)

We all have the same 24 hours.

The question isn't whether you have time.

It's whether you're spending it on what matters, or letting it slip toward what's easy, urgent, or expected.

Your calendar is a reflection of your values.

Not the values you say you have.
The ones you actually live.

If you're not sure what you actually value, or what success looks like for you right now.

Take the Live the Width of Your Life assessment (link in comments). It'll help you get clear on what matters most and where the gaps are.

What's one thing you've been saying you don't have time for that you know matters?

If you’re waiting to feel ready, you’ll wait forever.

Confidence doesn't come before action. It comes after.

We tell ourselves we'll start when we feel ready.

When we know enough.
When we're more prepared.
When the timing is right.

But that's not how confidence works.

When I wrote my vision for my life back in 2016, I didn't know how any of it would happen.

Less than a week later, I was talking to a friend and shared what was on my vision. One thing I wanted was to get certified to teach yoga.

She said "wait one second" and came back with a flyer for a yoga teacher training starting in two weeks at her studio.

I told her I wasn't ready.

She said, "I think this conversation means it doesn't matter if you feel ready yet."

So I signed up.

Taking that first step was the catalyst for everything that followed.

Confidence isn't a prerequisite.

It's a byproduct.

You don't feel confident, then act.
You act, then build confidence.

Every client I've worked with who made a meaningful change—left the job, set the boundary, started the business, had the hard conversation—did it before they felt ready.

And on the other side, they realized:

The readiness they were waiting for? It was never going to come.

The confidence they wanted? It was built in the doing.

If you needed this reminder today, save it.

What's one thing you've been waiting to feel ready for?

And if you want a nudge, DM me START. I'll send you one question to help you take the first step.

When did you stop playing?

Not playing to win. 
Not playing to achieve.
Just playing because it feels good.

I've noticed that many high-achievers I work with have forgotten how to have fun without a purpose attached to it.

We schedule the workout because it's good for us.
We take the vacation because we're burned out.
We read the book because it will help us grow.

Even our rest has become productive.

But creativity happens when we are not trying, but instead allowing it to unfold naturally. 

We think creativity is reserved for artists, musicians, and other people.

But creativity shows up everywhere when we let it:

→ A meal made with love and colorful ingredients
→ A unique outfit that makes you happy to wear
→ The way we decorate our home
→ A new way of solving an old problem

Invention and fun happen when we take breaks, daydream, and allow our minds to wander.

When we're in flow.
When we're open to childlike wonder.
When we give ourselves space to appreciate life and beauty. 

I stopped writing for over a week during the holidays.

Instead, I read fiction for fun.
Went to a great art exhibit at the museum.
Attended an Alan Watts program.
Spent a lot of time walking in the woods.

And right before the end of December, I got inspired again.

I was excited to create content that felt good, and that would add value. 

I spent an entire day in flow just writing and coming up with ideas.

And it felt amazing again.

What if joy doesn't need to be justified?

Music/nature/art/movement/food?

Have you outgrown your environment?

If you're feeling stuck, it might mean that your self-imposed limitations are keeping you small. 

We had a goldfish named Lucy.

Lucy was a 13-cent goldfish that our daughter Alexandra brought home one day in a plastic bag with water.

We moved her to a small round tank.

She grew bigger.

Then I purchased a one-gallon tank with a filter for her.

She outgrew that, too.

Then a ten-gallon tank filled with plants, a tiny Buddha, and decorative rocks.

She kept growing. 

We eventually had to remove the decorations to make room for her to swim.

Lucy grew to the size of her environment. Every single time.

We're like Lucy.

We can stay small in our comfortable tiny tank.

Or we can get a bigger tank and make room to grow.

I see this with my clients all the time.

They've achieved everything they were "supposed to."

The title. The income. The respect.

And yet something feels off.
Restless.
Too small.

Because they've outgrown the bowl.

The role that once challenged them now feels limiting.

The beliefs that once protected them now hold them back.

The environment that once felt safe now feels suffocating.

The best dreams are the ones that scare us.
The ones that challenge us to grow.
The ones that require us to be curious about how we'll make them happen.

If your current life feels tight, it might not be because something is wrong.

It might be because you're ready for a bigger tank.

What do you need to leave behind?

And who are you becoming on the other side?

Progress is easy to miss when you don't pause to notice it.

Before you rush into the weekend, pause and notice what went right this week.

We're so quick to remember what didn't work.

The meeting that ran long.
The task that didn't get done.
The goal we didn't hit.

But what about what did work?

I'm celebrating holding space for my clients with presence, honoring my morning routines, making it to the gym, writing daily (again), and slowly winding down in the evenings.

Progress isn't always loud.

Sometimes it's the conversation you finally had.
The "no" you said without guilt.
The morning you protected.
The moment you chose presence over productivity.

These count.

And if you don't pause to notice them, they disappear into next week's to-do list.

Before the weekend starts, ask yourself: What went right this week?

Name one thing below. 
It doesn't have to be big. 
It just has to be yours.

The week will go wherever your attention goes.

You can start Monday focused on everything that's wrong.

The emails that have piled up. 
The meetings this week that you're dreading.
The project and deadlines that feel impossible to hit.

Or you can start focused on what's possible, and what you're seeking. 

The one conversation that could shift everything.
The progress you made last week that you haven't celebrated. 
The version of you that handles hard things with more grace.

Same week. Different experiences.

What's made a huge difference for me, and for my clients, is blocking time on Mondays for deep work. 

Time focused on intention, weekly priorities, and deep thinking.
Proactive focus over reactive response.

Your attention is a choice.
And that choice compounds.

Focus on problems, and you'll find more problems.
Focus on possibilities, and you'll find more possibilities.

You don't need to ignore what's hard, but instead choose where you place your energy first.

What's one thing you're choosing to focus on this week?

I am focusing on honoring the commitments I made for more spacious living this year.

Your hands are too full to receive what's next.

You're holding on to the job that has drained you for years.
The belief that you have to earn rest.
The habits that keep you small.
The version of yourself you've outgrown.

And you wonder why you feel stuck.

We often have to release something in order to receive something new.

Holding on to what no longer serves you keeps you stuck and unable to move forward.

I see this with my clients all the time.

They come to me wanting more peace, purpose, and alignment.

But their lives are full of things they're afraid to let go of.

The identity they built for decades.
The expectations others have of them.
The comfort of knowing what's familiar, even when it's painful.

Releasing doesn't mean it was wrong at one point. 
It means it served its purpose.
And now it's time to make space.

Start by asking yourself:

→ Does this still serve me?
→ Does this align with the highest vision of myself?
→ Am I holding on out of love, or out of fear? (this is a big one!)

If it no longer serves you, it's time to let it go.

Not with resentment.
With gratitude for what it taught you.
And trust that something better is waiting.

I spent a lot of time over the holidays in deep reflection and listed my habits, beliefs, old stories, and an outdated identity that no longer served where I was going. 

I wrote them all down, then said "bless and release."

If you’re ready to get clear on what to release and what you’re making space for, I’m opening a few 90-minute Vision Sessions this month. 

DM me RELEASE and I’ll send details.

♻️ Share this with someone who's holding on too tight.

Clear boundaries feel rude to people who benefitted from you having none.

"No" is a complete sentence.

But most of us don't treat it that way.

We say no, then immediately explain why.
We set a boundary, then apologize for having it.
We protect our time, then feel guilty about it.

As if our needs require justification.

Looking back on 2024, the most requested topic for my speaking engagements was setting boundaries. 

It's no coincidence. This is something most of us struggle with.

Learning to set boundaries has taken me a long time. I still worry about disappointing others.

I started practicing saying no to social obligations when I was tired, or when I didn't want to go. 

I practiced saying "I appreciate the invitation, but I won't be able to make it."

That's it. No explanation. No falter.

The difference between those who set boundaries and those who don't?
Practice reps. 

Saying "no" more often and sitting in the discomfort until it becomes familiar.
And the more you explain, the more you invite negotiation.
The clearer the boundary, the easier it is to hold.

If you need a simple script, try one of these:
→ "I appreciate the invite, but I can't make it."
→ "I'd love to, but I need to pass this time."
→ "Not this week, but thank you for thinking of me."

Which one do you want to practice? Comment 1, 2, or 3.

Boundaries

You were never meant to just carry life. You were meant to live it.

But somewhere along the way, we started measuring success by:

How much we can do.
How much we can endure.
How much we can accumulate.
How much we can carry without breaking.

And we rarely stop to ask how fully we are actually living.

This is where the conversation shifts.

This isn't about balance.

Chasing balance can feel exhausting.

This is about alignment.

Alignment asks different questions:

→ Do my daily choices reflect what truly matters to me?
→ Do my goals support the life I want to live, not just what looks good on paper?

When alignment is missing, life can look impressive and still feel disconnected.

When alignment is present, even simple days feel meaningful.

This is the inner work that changes how success feels, not just how it looks.

Where in your life are you achieving, but not fully living?

Your reflection might help someone else pause and ask the same question.

♻️ Share this with someone who's been measuring success by how much they can carry.

The only life we have is this moment.

Not the one we're planning for.
Not the one we're recovering from.
This ONE!

Our life is not a book that we can turn the page back on, or a song we can replay from the beginning.

We spend so much energy:

→ Replaying conversations we can't change
→ Worrying about outcomes we can't control
→ Waiting for the "right time" to finally start living

But the present moment isn't just where life happens.

It's where every new beginning lives.

You don't need January 1st to start fresh.
You don't need Monday.
You don't need the perfect circumstances.

You have right NOW.

Every breath is an invitation to begin again.
Every moment is a chance to choose differently.
All that exists is this moment, and what you choose to do with it.

What would shift if you stopped waiting and started living right now?

If this resonates, I created the Live the Width of Your Life™ Assessment as a reflective exercise to focus on where you’re at right now.

Life is Now!

One of life’s biggest lies is that there will be more time.

More time to do the things we want to do.
Visit the places we’ve wanted to visit.
Do the healing work that will make the greatest impact. 

I decided years ago not to tell myself this lie anymore, and it’s changed everything.

Instead of waiting for one day, or someday, I decided to live for today. 

When I started my business, I knew I wanted to do retreats as an offering.

There is something magical that happens when we take ourselves out of our familiar surroundings, place ourselves in a new environment, and connect with other humans who are also seeking something different.

Retreats accelerate deep work that sometimes takes years to happen. 

There are seasons when life feels too loud, and maybe something within you is looking for stillness, or adventure, and change. 

This year, I’ll be co-facilitating with my friend Edita Petojevic in Fažana, Croatia, from May 24–28, 2026. (Our first week is already sold out)

Set by the Adriatic Sea, this retreat is an invitation to slow down and come home to yourself.

This experience is for you if you're longing to:

→ Reconnect with your authentic self
→ Remember what calm really feels like
→ Release stress and emotional heaviness
→ Restore balance in your body and mind
→ Connect to other amazing humans 
→ Immerse yourself in the beauty of the local culture

Each day offers space to be seen, supported, and nourished.

You'll wake to the sound of the sea, move with intention, share meaningful moments, and allow stillness to do what it does best.

You'll leave with a rested body, a peaceful mind, a heart open to possibility, and a deeper connection with yourself.

If this speaks to your heart, trust that feeling. 
Don't postpone for one day, what can happen today. 

We’re offering a special opportunity to hold your spot for a small deposit.

Sometimes the most powerful journey is the one that brings you back to yourself.

Maybe the work isn’t more learning. Maybe it’s integration.

What if the work isn't "getting ready", but remembering you already are?

I'm someone who is always reading a new book, joining a new program, or getting another certification.

Part of it is my love of learning.

But part of it is believing there's always more to do before I'm ready.

This month, two communities I'm part of are ending. And I decided not to re-enroll for 2026.

It was scary to choose integration over accumulation.

But when I made the decision, something shifted.

I felt more courageous. More creative. Ideas started flowing.

I realized that alignment doesn't require perfect circumstances.

It requires honesty.

The truth is, you already have what you need to take the next step.

You just need to trust it.

We wait for the right time.
The right opportunity.
The right person to tell us we're ready.

But readiness isn't something that arrives.

It's something we claim.

Where in your life are you still waiting for permission that only you can give?

♻️ Share this with someone who's been waiting to feel ready.

Clarity doesn't come when your nervous system is overwhelmed.

It comes from regulating first, and then casting your vision. 

I used to think I could push through confusion with more thinking. 

More lists. 
More journaling. 
More seeking external advice. 

But clarity never came that way.

What I learned is that your body isn't working against you. It's giving you data.

When your system is dysregulated, decision-making becomes harder, sometimes impossible.

Not because you lack clarity.

But because your body is prioritizing survival over strategy.

Have you noticed how you can't "think" your way into alignment when you're exhausted, anxious, or overwhelmed?

Your nervous system doesn't care about your strategy, or new vision board.

It cares if you feel safe. 

When I work with clients, I guide them through a meditation that regulates their nervous system first, then gently connects them to their own inner wisdom.

They're always surprised at how clear their vision becomes afterwards.

Not because I gave them the answer.

But because their body finally felt safe enough to receive it.

Before setting new goals or making big decisions, ask yourself:

Does my nervous system have the capacity to hold what I'm trying to build?

If the answer is no, that's not a problem to push through.

That's information. Regulate first. Then decide.

Have you noticed your best decisions come when you feel calm, not rushed? 

If you want to experience this for yourself, I offer a 90-minute Vision Session where we regulate first, then connect you to your own clarity. DM me VISION for details.

♻️ Share this with someone who's been trying to think their way to clarity.

There are seasons when life feels too loud.

When your body and mind are asking for stillness.
When your soul is craving something different.
When you know you need space to pause, but you keep pushing it off.

I've been there.

Telling myself I'd slow down "after this project or deadline."
That I'd take time for myself "when things calm down."
That my rest could wait.

But rest doesn't wait for permission. And neither does your life.

This is why I lead retreats.

When I started my business in 2019, I dreamed of hosting retreats where others could find the space of connection back to themselves, to pause, to dream again, and to connect to others who were seeking the same thing.

Since then I've held retreats in Portugal, Tuscany, Northern Ireland, Morocco, and locally. 

There's something that happens when we take ourselves out of our familiar surroundings and place ourselves somewhere beautiful, with others who are also seeking something deeper.

Transformation that takes years can happen in days.

This May, I'm co-facilitating a retreat in Fažana, Croatia with my dear friend Edita Petojevic.

Five days by the Adriatic Sea.

Waking to the sound of waves.
Moving with intention.
Breathing deeply.
Remembering who you are beneath it all.
Doing healing work. 

This retreat is for you if you're ready to:

→ Create space for rest and reflection
→ Let go of what no longer serves you
→ Reconnect with your body and intuition
→ Find balance, peace, and purpose

You'll leave with a rested body, a peaceful mind, and a deeper connection to yourself.

Our first week already sold out.

May 24–28, 2026 still has a few spots available.

If this speaks to your heart, trust that feeling.

DM me "CROATIA RETREAT" or use the link below for details. We're offering a small deposit to secure your spot.  

Sometimes the most powerful journey is the one that brings you back to yourself.

✨Building the bridge to the life you love through daily aligned action. 

Coach | Speaker |🎙️ Top 5% Podcast Host "Live The Width of Your Life"  | Best-Selling Author

My passion is helping high-achieving leaders get unstuck, awaken to their potential and purpose, dream BIG, and take aligned action so they can start living the WIDTH of their lives.  

Have you lost your zest for life and wondered if there is more to life than this?  I want you to know that there is!  If you are tired of being burned out and overworked, you are not alone!  I was there, and now I want to help you.

I am a coach and wellness consultant who helps high-achieving professionals and entrepreneurs create full lives of purpose, passion, and peace. 

Do you find yourself working harder than ever before and struggling to make traction?  Or, feeling like you're giving so much to others that you have nothing left for yourself? 

Many of us are overwhelmed by the pace of life, are seeking to overcome the limiting beliefs that keep us stuck, and are looking for tools to deal with stress, anxiety, and burnout.  

I've found that most of us want to become the healthiest versions of ourselves, spend time with the people we care about, and do the things that we love.  And, we still tend to make the same choices over and over again that keep us stuck.  

Regardless of where you are on your journey, it is never too late to live a full and rewarding life.  Making a sustainable, transformational change in our lives requires commitment and investment.  We did not create our lives overnight, and we cannot change them overnight either.  I help my clients dream again, take control of their health and well-being, and finally, make changes that will allow them to become the best version of themselves in their personal and professional lives.

As a business consultant, I work with organizations and teams to create cultures of mindful leadership to increase focus, creativity, and productivity, along with wellness programs to help teams achieve optimal health.

You don’t have a time management problem, you have an energy alignment problem. 

No productivity system can fix misalignment, as hard as we try. 

We optimize calendars, systems, and workflows while ignoring the internal cost of how we’re operating.

Efficiency built on misalignment creates burnout.
Efficiency built on awareness creates sustainability.

✔ You can have the perfect morning routine.
✔ The ideal time blocks.
✔ The most sophisticated productivity system.

But if you're pouring energy into things that drain you?
If you're saying “yes” to obligations that don't align?
If you're running on fumes and calling it discipline?

No system will save you.

This was me for years and I still found myself burned out, resentful, sleeping terribly, and struggling to get out of bed in the morning. 

It wasn’t until I stopped and acknowledged that I was living a life that I didn’t want anymore that I started to get well. 

The great news is that you can make changes right now.

Before planning this week, ask yourself:

What drains my energy that I keep normalizing?

→ Overcommitting
→ People-pleasing
→ Avoiding one hard conversation
→ No white space
→ Saying yes out of guilt

Which one is yours right now? 1–5, or something else?

If you want to see where you may be misaligned, the free Live the Width Assessment is linked in the comments.
