are you ready for a breakthrough?
As a teenager, around age 17, I remember my mom asking me if I wanted to go to therapy. I declined and told her that I was “fine.” Fine up to that point meant drinking way too much, blacking out on more than one occasion, rocking myself in a corner while in a drunken stupor + crying, jumping from one long term relationship to another, a few panic attacks and finding comfort in distraction and dissociation.
I really didn’t think anything of it, as some of that was “normal” teenage behavior. I was fine, I was coping, I was outwardly succeeding. Outside of a major breakdown, the outside was shiny, attractive, and perfect. I was good, like a toddler who has a meltdown and two minutes later is composed and put together.
If I really look back I can see that I wasn’t ready to jump at my mom’s offer for help, because I wasn’t ready to turn the lens on myself and go inward. So, I moved on and shoved everything down into the little compartments they came from.
It would take me following the niggling pull towards purpose that eventually led to my own healing journey. I innocently assumed that this purpose I was following was for the good of others. I was supposed to serve and help. I could feel that in my bones and, yet, the thought of jumping in and following through on the guidance I was receiving felt terrifying. The reality is that when I found coaching, I became my first client and eventually became a client to another coach. All of a sudden, me + my life took center stage. Not exactly what I had expected.
The process of coaching turned the lens on my inner world vs the outside world. It was the first time that I came face to face with what I had truly been avoiding and suppressing for over two decades. In my 30’s I was finally ready to take a dive deep and look at it. It was eye-opening, heart-wrenching, and, more importantly, liberating.
I could no longer proceed as I had with this new found knowledge and wisdom. I mean, I could, but that meant staying in the unconscious past. Like Dorothy waking up from her dream and realizing that she could no longer continue as she had, because she had been transformed by her experience. She realized that the power had always been within her, and what a life-changing revelation that was.
Maybe the whole call to this work for me was really more about me than anyone else. More about me healing first so that I could help others navigate their own journey. It was my own yellow brick road to myself, my true + soulful self. At least, that’s what I’d like to think.
My word for the year, lead, is still guiding me today and reminding me that when you lead, when you are a shepherd, you go first so that others can follow. In doing it for yourself you also do it for others. The tenets of my work are still to serve and help, but also to empower. To guide people through their stories and transform them in a way that leads them to the illuminated self. It’s a remembering and really a new way of participating in your life. It’s transformation + creation in one very sacred container.
For the month of August I am recommitting myself to this work, my calling and my service to others. I want to do this in a big way and help others just starting their inward journey by having breakthrough conversations with people that feel called to their own yellow brick road back to self + Soul.
The road opened up for me when I went looking for purpose, maybe for you, it’s by looking at career, business or relationship. I trust that as I stake my claim and share more of myself that those who I can best serve will be lit up and feel called to say yes to this invitation. I hesitantly said yes to my first invitation because I had become so good at turning the other cheek and running in a different direction when life beckoned me to stop and truly listen. So stop and listen. Are you finally ready?

Projects like these are how I connect to my ideal clients, but are in no way sales consults. These conversations are meant to provide you with a valuable stand alone experience. This allows me to deepen my commitment to this work while sharing the gifts that flow effortlessly from me. This IS my service and the way I choose to pay it forward.
