You are successful in many areas of your life, but often wonder: “Is there more to life?” You have bigger goals for your career and life that aren’t happening. Maybe you’re trying to navigate a transition and not sure how?
Things may be getting in your way, such as:
I truly believe in getting support when you need it – and I’m here to help!
I get it.
I spent two decades in law. I experienced burnout and letting work run my life while believing, at times, that I was an “imposter” who was uncertain about her next steps. I’ve coped with high stress by drinking too much alcohol or eating bad food. I’ve struggled trying to balance my career as a successful lawyer while also trying to be a great mom to two kids, including one with special needs. I’ve healed from cancer, started a second career, dealt with deaths of family members and close friends, and I have had challenges in my relationships. I have experienced plenty of loss and not having life “work out as planned.” And yet, because of the tools I have learned and teach, I am more peaceful and happier than I have ever been.
I didn’t always feel this way. I hired my first coach when I was feeling burned out working as a lawyer. After hitting rock bottom emotionally and physically, I decided I couldn’t live like that anymore. After coaching, I began to feel happier, healthier and enjoyed my life much more. I eventually left law, but the tools I learned helped me become a happier and more successful lawyer and better mom.
So I decided to become a coach myself and share what I’ve learned with other ambitious women.
Time and time again, coaching and the personal development tools I teach have consistently guided me into an authentic and joy-filled life. I always put my joy and well-being first – no matter what I have going on.
And now, as a coach, I use my 30 years of study with top teachers in areas of mindset, mindfulness, intuition, mind-body awareness, wellness, confidence and getting unstuck, to help my clients create lives they love – no matter what obstacles they face.
As a leader in your life and work,
you deserve radical self-care and wellness.
Today I have a national practice coaching successful women attorneys and professional executives
to help them move up, or out, of their careers with joy, while achieving success on their own terms.
