this is what i know for sure.

we are here for a reason. we deserve a life that lights us up. we deserve to shine in any way we choose. we deserve to BE who we are.

we can learn to be self-led. we have the power to change things. we can get unstuck. we can get ignited. we can choose our purpose and our direction.

we each have a brilliant light to shine. who you are is fucking brilliant. you are worthy, you are valuable, you contain multitudes. the world needs your light.

and so i am on a mission.

my mission is liberation through self-leadership… it’s a mission to help people be their own damn hero, to tap into the remarkable power of their self and use that to create freedom from struggle and stuckness and freedom to live a life they love.

i’ve been stuck too.

so very stuck. i’ve struggled with depression. i’ve been lost in the darkness. i lost my purpose and my direction and my mojo. i lost my self.

but i am finding her again. i am using simple practical strategies to pull myself out of the muck and take steps forward again.

if you've been feeling lost, or stuck, or not very ignited at all... if you've been thinking there must be more to life than this... or thinking ‘who am i to shine?’...

if you've been feeling ready for more, ready for the next steps, ready to shine even brighter...

i would love to help you on your journey!

a bit about me…
