Born and raised in the Seattle area, my childhood was spent constantly on the move, shifting from one place to another all the way through my teens. Growing up as an only child, I was a bit of a lone wolf—incredibly quiet and shy, largely because of my low self-esteem. Even though I spent years doing competitive cheerleading, I always preferred to hide behind the scenes rather than step into the spotlight. Watching my single mom juggle multiple jobs wired me to believe that relentless hard work and survival hustle were the only paths forward. As high school graduation approached, I felt lost, paralyzed, and confused. The idea of picking just one thing to do for the rest of my life felt impossible—and without savings or a clear path to afford college, I chose to wait. I treated my search for purpose like an urgent race, completely unaware that my subconscious fear of 'picking the wrong path' was setting an invisible ceiling on my potential.

Eventually, my creative side pulled me toward fashion, heavily fueled by TV and pop culture. I fell for the Hollywood fantasy: putting on a sharp blazer, grabbing a cute tote, and strutting into a glossy corporate office by age 22. I dreamed of leaving Seattle to attend the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles—just like I’d watched on MTV's The Hills. But fear and limiting beliefs kept those dreams from becoming my reality (though looking back, I know it was divine intervention; LA would have eaten me alive at that age). 

Instead, I spent my early twenties nannying before enrolling in college at 23 to pursue my Apparel Design & Development degree at Seattle Central College. Shortly after starting the program, I decided to simultaneously dip my toes into entrepreneurship by starting a dog-walking business called Pup Starz. I ran it for about a year while managing my coursework, and while building a client base took time, it gave me a creative outlet and the incredible feeling of building something entirely my own. Around this time, I finally started coming out of my shell. Studying design and stepping into client-facing work gave me a newfound confidence in how I presented myself, helping me open up and become far more social than I had ever been. Managing a business alongside a demanding program proved to be a tough balancing act, so once I graduated in 2016, I set the business aside to focus fully on my career in fashion—but that initial spark for entrepreneurship was officially planted.

The glamour promised by the media vanished quickly into a harsh real-world grind. It took over a year to land a job in my field, finally securing my first contract gig at Amazon in 2017 making $20 an hour with zero benefits. At the time, still living at home and desperate for independence, I thought I’d hit the jackpot.

It didn't take long to realize that fashion roles weren't paying the bills or offering stable, full-time employment. Struggling to crack the code to stability, I was eager to escape my current reality. What I didn't realize back then was that I wasn't actually obsessed with fashion—I was craving the freedom, peace of mind, and comfort that financial security brings.

In Seattle, Amazon was the ultimate corporate destination. Landing a job there was notoriously difficult, and there was undeniable prestige in being able to say, "I work at Amazon." To appease my ego, I desperately wanted the title, the recognition, and the status that came with it. I convinced myself that the only way to build real stability was to hustle endlessly and convert into a full-time "blue badge" Amazon employee—complete with security, benefits, and a sign-on bonus. To fit the corporate mold and bridge the gap between unpredictable contract gigs, I enrolled in school once again, this time chasing a business degree to secure the corporate status I thought I needed.

Over three years, I navigated three separate contract roles at Amazon in Seattle. The contracting environment was mentally grueling; Amazon’s culture naturally pitted contractors against one another in a silent competition to secure the coveted "blue badge." Living with the constant uncertainty of whether my contract would be renewed—or if I’d have a job at all when it ended—was exhausting.

During my first contract on the Echo Look team (an early Alexa fashion device that took outfit photos and rated your style), I left mid-contract to join a confidential side project called Prime Stylist. I saw the potential to step up as a leader, help build something new, and secure a management position. But when my contract ended—after being promised a full-time role—the offer fell through. I was devastated. Plagued by the belief that I had something to prove, I tied my entire self-worth to my job title, making the setback hit my mental health even harder.

Following a second contract in Amazon Private Brands Apparel, I hit a grueling five-month stretch of unemployment. Ready for a pivot, I began looking outside the fashion space and landed interviews for two Account Manager roles simultaneously: one contract, and one full-time. I desperately wanted that full-time spot, but after flubbing the notoriously difficult behavioral interview loop, I didn't get it. However, I did land the contract role—partially because the hiring manager recognized how rigorous my Seattle Central College apparel design program was, as her relative had completed it.

When I joined that team in January 2020, right before COVID hit, I had no idea how deeply I had manifested the opportunity. Having always possessed a passion for travel without much opportunity to experience it, I was placed on a confidential project scaling a startup virtual travel business called Amazon Explore. When the world shut down and travel ground to a halt, our work became wildly relevant—a moment of true divine timing. I had the privilege of supporting local tour operators across Europe—from small businesses in Norway to independent guides across the continent—giving them a virtual marketplace to keep their doors open and generate income when traditional tourism completely vanished. My time on that team transformed my confidence. My hourly pay doubled, and working directly with global hosts challenged me to speak up and realize the true value I brought to the table. Then, in October 2020, a dream three years in the making finally came true. I officially converted to a full-time corporate employee.

On paper, I had made it. But inside, I still felt empty. It was never enough.

Despite building a diverse corporate resume spanning account management, marketing, and startup operations, the reality behind the giant Amazon brand was far less glamorous. The company's system and structure naturally pitted employees against one another, turned teams against each other in internal turf battles, and created a culture where corporate metrics were constantly placed ahead of what was actually best for the customer. I was earning a salary that didn't allow full financial freedom in a high-cost city like Seattle, feeling trapped and unable to climb higher on an ambiguous corporate ladder where the rules for advancing keep shifting, and feeling deeply out of alignment with myself. There was a constant friction between corporate seller policies and my personal values and genuine passion for helping people. The relentless grind took a severe physical and mental toll: my weight fluctuated constantly, I lived in chronic fight-or-flight, and I battled extreme fatigue and intense anxiety—relying on comfort foods and a nightly glass or two of wine just to cope with a deeply dysregulated nervous system.

Recognizing that my symptoms were rooted in severe anxiety, I sought out counseling in 2021 and went weekly for a full year. Right around the time I started counseling, I also made the decision to step away and delete my social media for the sake of my mental health—and that was when I noticed the most radical transformation start to happen. Without the constant noise of comparison, I finally found real inner peace, and my inner critic slowly began to lose its power over me.

My counselor, Margie, provided the safe, non-judgmental space I needed to take off my mask and finally get honest with myself. During this time, I dove into books that completely shifted my perspective, including The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer and How to Do the Work by Dr. Nicole LePera. Reading them felt like an awakening to the truth; I learned how to step back and observe my thoughts rather than being consumed by them, and I began recognizing the deep patterns steming from my past.

Through that process, I gained deep self-awareness around my own emotional reactivity. I began to see how living in constant survival mode meant I wasn't always able to regulate or control my emotions in high-stress moments, especially at work. I began facing unhealed childhood trauma and recognizing how it was running my adult life. Facing myself was the first step toward uncovering my true identity.

As my inner world shifted, my outer world naturally rearranged itself. I outgrew old friendships that no longer aligned with who I was becoming, and through that alignment, the universe brought someone into my life who changed me forever—a soulmate connection that opened my heart and accelerated my growth. With COVID making work remote, I packed up and moved three hours away to Portland, Oregon—giving myself the physical and emotional space to heal away from the place I loved dearly, but that constantly reminded me of my pain. Around this time, I started working with Alex, a life coach based in Costa Rica whom I met through the Amazon Explore team. She introduced me to the transformative world of coaching, guiding me toward life-changing books and helping me tap far deeper into my spiritual side. It was in Portland that I first felt strongly called to pick up The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. At the time, I was still so unconscious and unaware—having almost zero concept of what the "ego" or inner parts of myself even were—that it felt like a dense, complex read, and I spent months slowly picking my way through it chapter by chapter.

Inspired by my own healing journey, I felt a deep calling to step into service. In August 2022, while still working full-time at Amazon, I enrolled in a Master’s program for Mental Health Counseling. Just two months later, in October 2022, Amazon Explore was shut down, and mass corporate layoffs swept through my team.

Exhausted, burnt out, and staring at an empty calendar, that layoff became the divine nudge and wake-up call my soul desperately needed. It was the moment I finally realized a corporate level, title, or badge would never define my worth as a human being.

Shortly after receiving the news of the layoff, I was given three months of paid "garden leave" to find a new role. Instead of rushing back into the corporate rat race, I took time to simply be—enjoying life without working, a concept entirely foreign to me. When my paid leave ended in January 2023, the offers inside Amazon were there, but I chose to walk away. I wanted to use this window to dive headfirst into self-discovery and the inner healing work I had started. Having that open time and space was the exact breakthrough I needed: after eight off-and-on months of wrestling with The Power of Now, I finally finished the rest of the book in just a single month. Truly processing Tolle's work became the ultimate precursor to a much bigger spiritual awakening.had started.

By spring 2023, after a few months of unemployment, I paused my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling. Facing so much personal uncertainty, I struggled with imposter syndrome around counseling others when I was still piecing myself together. So, I took a year of "funemployment"—making it work with zero savings—to figure out what I actually wanted out of life. In April 2023, I moved to the waterfront in Kirkland, Washington. Returning to the exact city where I was born felt like a moment of synchronicity—a true coming home to myself.

Living on the water in Kirkland provided the peaceful scenery I needed to heal. Sensing that coaching was a better fit for me than traditional counseling, I enrolled in mindbodygreen’s Health Coach program. At the same time, I was navigating a very confusing and painful shift in my relationship. This was my first true love—the deepest, most meaningful relationship I had known, built on 'forever' promises. As he began pulling away with mixed signals and emotional distance, the constant uncertainty left me anxious and struggling to function as I fought to hold on. Yet, that period of instability forced me to hold up a mirror to myself—illuminating my own anxious attachment patterns and stripping away everything I thought I knew about who I was.

During my time in Kirkland, I underwent my first profound spiritual awakening. If you’re not familiar with the term, think of it as a complete life-shaking reset: your perspective changes overnight, you start questioning everything, heavy emotions surface to be processed, and the old version of you completely unravels so you can figure out who you actually are. During this shift, I found myself craving solitude. I wasn't depressed—I just reached a point where I could no longer connect with the people I used to talk to or force surface-level conversations. My energy had become sacred, and I became intensely selective about where and with whom I shared it.

I found myself looking back on every past relationship and failed friendship through a brand-new lens. I started to clearly see the part I played in their downfalls, while simultaneously recognizing the genuine unfairness in how I had been treated. It was a complex duality where there were no sides, no black-and-white, and no right or wrong—just two truths coexisting at once. Through that lens, I began to see how much of the world lives in illusion and separateness, while I was suddenly feeling a profound sense of oneness and deep connection to everything around me.

As my energetic awareness expanded, I realized that everything carries frequency—including physical objects. I lost interest in material things and began clearing out the physical clutter holding heavy energy from my past. I sold my designer items, donated piles of belongings, and embraced a more minimal lifestyle, shedding physical weight as my spirit lightened. I confronted the areas of my life where I desperately tried to exert control, realizing my deep hatred for uncertainty was fueling my constant anxiety. I had to get radically honest about the ways I had been manipulative or controlling, recognizing that everyone carries a subtle layer of narcissism within them—though you can only see that if you're willing to be honest with yourself. I spent hours reliving all my cringe-worthy, embarrassing moments, taking the time to understand the deeper drivers behind my behavior before surrendering them and letting them go. But most importantly, through that entire process, I learned to extend grace and empathy to myself for every single mistake—realizing that true accountability isn't about being hard on yourself, but about holding yourself with love as you grow.

Above all, my awakening forced me to see that you cannot change a behavior you aren't aware of. For years, I had been living on autopilot, floating in my head like I was on a spaceship disconnected from reality. But becoming self-aware of my unconscious patterns was the key that finally grounded me. It didn't happen overnight—it required a daily practice of simply committing to stay fully present in every moment. As I anchored into the present moment, I became hyper-aware of the universe speaking to me through subtle signs, synchronicities, angel numbers, and meaningful everyday encounters that I used to blindly scroll or walk right past.

It was here that I made a lifelong commitment to presence, growth, and self-discovery. I read personal development books, listened to spiritual teachers, and leaned into rigorous inner work—building true confidence by confronting fear, sitting with uncomfortable emotions, and cultivating genuine resilience. I learned to observe my feelings rather than react to them, breathing through the discomfort and allowing them to simply pass. I realized it is completely okay not to fully understand my emotions—I could experience happiness and sadness simultaneously, and I finally stopped limiting myself by trying to fit my feelings into a neat little box.

I am far from perfect, and I don't pretend to be. We live in a world where people can be so harsh and quick to judge one another, but the truth is, we are all just doing the absolute best we can with the tools and awareness we have in any given moment. At the end of the day, no matter how much advice someone gives you or how many times you hear a lesson, some things can only be learned through your own lived experience. Real transformation requires personal agency—you have to walk through it, feel it, and choose the lesson for yourself. I also came to understand that the only person whose judgment can truly stick is your own. If you let other people’s words or opinions get to you, it’s usually because a small part of you is accepting them as true. But when you anchor deeply into your own truth, nothing anyone else says can shake you. I’ve learned to just roll with it now, letting the noise fall away and refusing to take other people's opinions so seriously.

Alongside my emotional healing, my awakening forced me to confront my deeply rooted money story. For years, I had wrapped my self-worth up in my bank account, inheriting heavy familial money patterns and learning habits born out of scarcity. Growing up without much, I found the topic of money intensely uncomfortable—I constantly wanted more, yet lived in a perpetual state of lack, secretly fearing money and viewing it as the root of all evil. It wasn't until I read The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel that I realized it wasn't material items I was chasing, but the freedom money could buy. I began examining the abundance already surrounding me, using the 3-6-9 method and targeted daily affirmations to rewire my brain. Unpacking those blocks was just the beginning of a multi-year journey, but for the first time, I allowed myself to envision my most prosperous life—tapping into the exact feeling of what true financial freedom would feel like without the weight of fear holding me back.

By August 2023, I completed my Health Coach Certification—a program I ended up needing just as much for my own healing as for my future clients. I fell in love with the curriculum in a way I never did with counseling, diving deep into behavior change theories, nutrition, sleep, lifestyle factors, and mind-body connection tools. It was during our deep dives into shadow work and uncovering the inner critic that I officially named mine Janizzle—marking the birth of identifying that sneaky, negative voice in my head and learning how to disarm it. Through this training, I learned firsthand that profound breakthroughs require physical space away from an office desk, discovering evidence-based tools that actually helped me heal my nervous system and manage anxiety without relying on old coping mechanisms.

Alongside my wellness studies, I reconnected with my lifelong love of the mystical arts, which had always been in my blood. I had been fascinated by astrology and the universe since childhood, when my grandmother printed out my birth chart—a keepsake I still carry today. She used to take me to crystal shops, and I will never forget the awe, wonder, and deep connection I felt looking at those stones. While I’d always possessed an inner intuitive knowing, it was often clouded by overthinking. I had dabbled in tarot during COVID, but my logical mind got in the way. It wasn't until my spiritual awakening shattered the illusions I was living that my intuitive gifts truly unlocked.

When my savings ran out and I refused to settle for a low-paying job that would trap me right back where I started, I made the hard choice to totally surrender. In October 2023, while my mom was visiting me, I took a breath and asked if I could come live with her in Huntsville, Alabama. Without hesitation, she said yes—because that is who she is, a mother whose unconditional love means she would do absolutely anything for me. That moment became my turning point; I was no longer stuck in the in-between. Leaving Washington was a choice I made for myself—I didn't want to stay in a place where I was being ignored in my relationship or constantly battling a high cost of living where salaries didn't align. In just a few short days, I broke my apartment lease and got rid of almost everything I owned, keeping only the absolute basics. My mom, my golden retriever Ranger, and I packed up a rental minivan and drove cross-country in three days. Arriving with virtually nothing—needing to figure out how I was going to make money to pay off the debt I’d accumulated while unemployed and from earlier chapters, all while navigating intense culture shock—felt like a complete out-of-body experience.

But just two weeks after arriving in Huntsville—a city well known for being a major defense and government contracting hub—divine timing stepped in. I applied for a role as a Contract Specialist with a Hawaiian company, and I was offered the job. It felt as if I had manifested the perfect role: a fully remote position with a company that truly cared for its team, offering free lunches, paid training, and bonuses. Above all, the chill, pressure-free environment was the exact opposite of corporate burnout, giving me crucial space to catch my breath. Though I was only in that role for a year, working in contracts taught me invaluable real-world skills—especially the art of how to 'CYA' (cover your ass) in written communication.

A month after the move, in November 2023, my relationship officially ended. Ever since we started dating back in February 2022, I had been so far into the twin flame romantic fantasy that I’d even gotten his name tattooed on me after just three months—fully convinced in that moment that we were Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly. He had become so thoroughly ingrained in my identity because of my unhealthy habit of pedestalizing the men I was with—giving them every piece of myself until there was nothing left for me. As I grieved, I had to sit with the pain and reflect on how the relationship had slowly dissolved, realizing how much I had stayed, chased, and held on—choosing to love him more than I loved myself.

The pain was deeply hurtful, and I had every right to be angry. But I came to realize that two things could be true at once: my hurt was completely valid, yet the only thing I actually had control over was taking accountability for myself. I stopped blaming external circumstances and started looking inward at my own role when things fell apart, asking myself the hard questions: Why was I allowing this? Why would I hang on to someone who clearly did not care about me in the way I thought? I learned the hard way that actions speak louder than words. I had to stop living on hope and potential, and finally start believing what was right in front of me.

It took me about ten months to finally get that tattoo covered up, but doing so marked the exact moment I truly began letting go. Today, I carry so much gratitude for that relationship. Healing takes time, but there is so much light on the other side of heartbreak. He was a necessary catalyst for my highest growth, holding up the mirror I needed to see where I was still abandoning myself.

Looking back, I realized so many of my relationship patterns stemmed all the way from childhood, continuously repeating themselves in my adult life. Facing that familiar sting of abandonment was ultimately that same mirror, magnifying the deep, buried beliefs I held about my own worth. But that heart-wrenching experience became my greatest teacher. I learned that true self-love is knowing your inherent worth and refusing to accept anything less than you deserve.

Through that process, I realized I had been desperately trying to fit into a mold of societal standards in both my career and relationships simply because I thought it was what I was supposed to want. I had always walked a slightly unconventional path, but for a long time, I was secretly embarrassed by it. I kept trying to force myself into a traditional box—thinking I needed the marriage, the kids, and the white picket fence to be considered successful or complete—when in reality, I am a free spirit at heart. As my self-awareness deepened, I finally gave myself permission to step out of that mold and embrace who I truly am. I learned that real security isn't about conforming; it’s about knowing who you are and believing in yourself so deeply that nothing outside of you can shake it. Worth is inherent—it never has to be earned, and we all deserve love, happiness, and abundance simply because we exist. Real self-love isn't just bubble baths or surface-level self-care; it is the radical commitment to choosing your own well-being, safety, and self-worth above all else—and never again abandoning your own soul for anyone or anything.

In the middle of that painful reset, tarot and oracle cards became my therapy, my excitement, and my sanctuary. I read books and watched countless YouTube videos, mastering the cards and reading for my mom and friends for fun. During my time in Huntsville, I attempted to pick up where I left off by re-enrolling in my Master’s program for counseling. But after two quarters, I realized in my soul that it wasn't aligned. It felt like heavy work rather than the expansive, empowering support I truly wanted to offer. After a year of rebuilding my spirit, gaining my confidence back, and learning to trust myself again, I was ready to step back into the world. In October 2024, I packed up my few belongings and moved an hour and a half away to Nashville.

After moving to Nashville in October 2024, I was still weighing whether to transition to health coaching full-time. Yet, I had a persistent inkling to return to Amazon—a move that surprised even me, as I had originally left intending never to look back. I wanted to enter the environment again, but this time, do things completely differently. After all the internal shifts and growth I had navigated, I began to see a profound pattern: as I changed for the better and stepped into true alignment with love, the universe naturally started working in my favor. My manifestation came to fruition faster than expected—in December 2024, I returned to Amazon in Nashville as a 'boomerang' employee on the DSP Shared Services (DSS) team.

Looking back at the role and the specific people I was surrounded by, that return was divinely orchestrated. Entering the corporate matrix as a self-aware, evolved, and confident person allowed me to view the broken 9-to-5 system with awakened eyes. I realized I was actively integrating everything I had learned—handling stress with far more grace, refusing to take every corporate drama so seriously, and maintaining much healthier boundaries in my relationships and with myself. I had officially broken the cycle. Yet, when familiar physical stress and health fluctuations still started to creep back in, I realized once and for all that the problem wasn't me—it was the environment itself, complete with an unpredictable promotion process where advancement was dangled like a carrot to keep you working harder, yet felt nearly impossible to achieve in a system driven by favoritism and politics.

Yet, it proved to be one of the most rewarding chapters of my life at Amazon. I had the opportunity to work on an expansion project in the UK—a trip I probably would have never taken on my own, as it wasn't even on my radar. But looking back, it was pure divine timing. I made it a habit to pull a daily oracle card during my morning routine. One day, I pulled a card with an airplane on it that read: 'Journey is indicated physically or metaphorically. Your life will become more full.' Later that same day, out of nowhere, my manager asked if I could fly to the UK for work.

While there, I visited Amazon delivery stations from Leeds to Edinburgh. Taking an extra day to explore Edinburgh on my own was pure magic; I completely fell in love with its majestic, witchy spirit right on a New Moon. The entire trip felt like a cosmic synchronicity. Now, I’d move to the UK in a heartbeat, and deep down, I have a feeling I’ll end up living there one day.

Back with my team, as our bonds grew stronger, I began bringing a piece of my authentic self to work. What started as a one-time card pull during a break quickly turned into a weekly ritual of tarot and oracle readings for my coworkers. Practicing regularly with people I trusted to give me honest feedback gave me real confidence in my intuitive gifts. What began as a supportive reset during downtime became something deeply meaningful. The readings touched on their career paths, relationships, and life journeys—offering insights that confirmed what their own intuition was already telling them. I got to watch that impact firsthand as several DSS colleagues built up the confidence to take their own leaps of faith into more aligned, fulfilling roles across the country with higher pay and better growth.

The most pivotal turning point came in March 2026, when I took on facilitating my very first class for the DSP Road to Ownership program over Zoom, leading a group of 40 prospective business owners. Even behind a screen, there was nowhere to hide. Terrified and carrying no prior teaching experience, my inner shadow—Janizzle—was immediately activated, trying to flood me with fear and imposter syndrome. But I reminded myself that the ego is not your amigo. I curbed that voice, put Janizzle right back in her box, and chose to step up anyway—letting my authentic, quirky self come through and truly embracing the room.

My class, known as Cohort 13, cheered me on from day one. As I worked closely with candidates to prepare them for the high-stakes interviews that would determine their graduation, I realized something incredible; I was completely in my element. Supporting their growth lit me up inside, and the positive feedback from my students was overwhelming.

A massive shoutout to my DSS family and Cohort 13; your encouragement, support, and belief in me became my ultimate mirror. You gave me the final clarity and confidence I needed to leave the corporate matrix behind for good and focus on coaching full-time.

In March 2026, I took a major step forward and sat for my National Board Certification to become an NBC-HWC. Receiving confirmation that I passed in May 2026 was the final sign I needed. By June, I reached a point where I physically could no longer sit at a desk from 9 to 5. Driven by a deep calling, I listened to my intuition and quit my corporate job—completely without a backup plan. I’ve always been a risk-taker, but this leap was more like a dive off a cliff because it’s make or break, with no safety net.

I’d always known I wanted to have my own business again, but I spent years fighting the resistance. I kept telling myself, "So many people are already doing that," or "It’s going to be way too much work," making up every excuse to avoid what was truly meant for me. Hiding behind a massive corporate job and someone else’s company name always felt safe. Even now, taking this leap means I’m actively pushing through the fear of being seen and challenging myself to truly stand on my own.

 I couldn't have taken that high-stakes jump without my mom; her unconditional love, endless support, and unwavering belief in me gave me the ultimate courage to take the leap of faith and pursue this path. Just one month later, in July 2026, I founded Love & Level Up Co. Today, I bridge these worlds by pairing my lifelong intuitive gifts and corporate operational background with evidence-based wellness coaching to help you shatter mental boundaries, regulate your nervous system, and confidently direct your own destiny.

We are living in a transformative era where the world is changing rapidly. So many people are waking up, rubbing the sleep from their eyes, and beginning to see reality through a brand-new lens. I feel deeply called to this work—to act as a supportive sounding board and guide as you open up to your own truth. While our work together is intentionally forward-looking, the past can easily direct our behavior if we let it. My focus with clients is to anchor into the present moment, creating a safe space where you can be fully seen, heard, and held with grace and empowerment. I am here to remind you of your inherent nature—that you are love—and through my own experience, I know that stepping into that energy naturally creates profound, lasting change.

When I reflect on my story, I see that everything was divinely planned and happened for a reason. Every single step held a lesson. I had to experience each trial, heartbreak, and corporate hurdle before I could level up to the next stage of my evolution. While the challenges grew more complex as I advanced, they became easier to navigate because of the emotional resilience I built and the integrative tools I accumulated along the way. I’ve learned to accept and genuinely love change rather than fear it, realizing that life isn't happening to me—it's happening for me.

When I’m not working with clients, you can usually find me enjoying life right here in the Nashville area with my full house: my golden retriever, Ranger, and my two rescued cats, Willow and Winslow. I’m proud to be a bit quirky and unconventional, constantly oscillating between going into deep subjects and having lighthearted, unfiltered fun with friends—a balance that, honestly, wears me out sometimes! Whether I’m cheering on the Seahawks as a die-hard 12 at heart, heading to a hockey game (football and hockey are easily my favorite sports), getting lost in a good romance novel, or binge-watching almost all Bravo shows, I’m all about squeezing the most out of every single day. At the center of it all is my daily spiritual practice, anchored in mindfulness, staying grounded in the present moment, and constantly giving myself grace through it all.

Looking back on the winding road that brought me here, my greatest realization is that I was never actually behind, and I no longer treat self-discovery like an emergency. Finding your purpose isn't a high-stress race or a massive, world-saving mission—in truth, most of us have known our passion and purpose all along. But the inner critic works overtime trying to silence it, which is why uncovering it doesn't happen overnight. It’s a journey designed to build the exact confidence you need to step into what you are truly meant to do in this world.

That doubting voice in your head will come up with every excuse to tell you that success only comes through grueling, hard work. And sure, if you believe that, it will be your reality. But what happens when you decide to believe that you deserve it all, without having to burn yourself out for money? Magic. Work shouldn’t have to feel so heavy or endlessly serious. When you drop the struggle and align with love, true abundance naturally follows.

Whether you read every word of my journey, skipped around, or just landed on these final sentences—thank you for being here. I am so grateful to share my story with you, and I can't wait to hear yours, support your journey, and hopefully become a meaningful part of your next chapter.
