For years, I apologized for who I was—toning down my eccentricity, reshaping my ambitions, and bending myself to fit molds I didn’t belong in. I spent so much time questioning if I was too much or not enough, constantly trying to make sense of a world that didn’t seem to understand me. As a so-called "rebellious teen," I fought for a place in the world, always pushing limits and challenging everything.

 

At 20, I became a mother, and that experience forced me onto a path of growth I wasn’t expecting. Through mistakes and years of deep self-discovery, I realized that thriving wasn’t about fitting in—it was about embracing who I was, fully and unapologetically. Thirteen years later, I met my husband, and together, we built a life rooted in love, shared dreams, and everything that made us feel alive. This year, we celebrate 10 years together.

 

My background is in behavioral health practice management, where I worked closely with clients and patients. It didn’t take long for me to realize that my favorite part of my role wasn’t just the operational aspects—it was the people. I felt most alive when I could create memorable experiences for our patients and clients and make them feel heard, seen, and valued. In those moments, everything else faded away.

 

For a long time, I thought I wanted to be a therapist. I’ve always been passionate about mental health and witnessed firsthand how the right support can change a life. But something inside me longed for a different path—one that allowed me to guide and walk alongside women in a way that wasn’t confined to clinical walls. I didn’t necessarily want to process the past. I wanted to help women design their futures.

 

So, I enrolled in an ICF credentialed program and became a life coach.

 

Now, I help women reclaim their power, break free from the expectations that hold them back, and create lives that speak to who they truly are. Because I know what it’s like to shrink yourself to fit the world’s standards—and I also know what it feels like to finally step into your own.
