Director, Audit Committee Member, Compensation Committee Member 

She thought she was ending my career. She was starting it. 😳

She pushed the papers across the table. Smiled. And I saw it.

Not nerves. Not hesitation.

Joy.😳

She was enjoying this.

In that moment, something shifted in me. I wasn't just being fired. I was being freed.

Because I realized: I don't want to work with you either.😃

For 14 years, I had shrunk myself. Tolerated the toxicity. Shrunk myself in hopes it would make her feel better.

But sitting across from someone who took pleasure in my pain? Those are not my people and they are not yours either.

I had 60 seconds to decide.
Sign the papers, take the money, and stay silent.

Or walk away with nothing but my integrity.

I chose me. 🙏

No severance. No safety net. Just an 18-month non-compete and a whole lot of uncertainty.

Here's what I gained:

✅ The freedom to be confident
✅ The freedom to be the unapologetic me
✅ The freedom to write my two best selling books
✅ The freedom to launch my podcast and speaking career

Spoiler alert:  I had been the one holding myself back.
She never held the key to my freedom, I always did.🔑

Where in your life have you been the one holding you back? 👇


If 2026 is the year you stop playing small and start claiming your power, let’s make it happen! 💪

👉 DM me to see how we can help you go from “I know what to do” to done, delivered, and dominating. Life is short, don’t play by someone else’s rules.
