Somewhere along the way, I forgot who I was

There’s an epidemic of “purpose amnesia” out there—and for a long time, I had it, too.

Maybe it was all those years of doing what I thought I should do.

All those voices saying, “Be practical.” “Play it safe.” “You can’t make money doing that.”

So I did what made sense. I made safe choices.

I climbed the corporate ladder. I co-owned a successful family spa business. I bought a house.

From the outside, it all looked good.
On the inside, I was running on empty.

Until one day, I stopped. I stood still long enough to hear the whisper inside of me ask…

Is this all there is?

Where was the peace? The joy?

The sense of fulfillment I was promised if I just followed the rules?

The answer came, quiet and clear:

Not like this. There has to be another way.

So I walked away from the life I had built—the business, the house, the story that no longer fit.

I moved across the country to San Diego

And for the first time in a long time, I made a decision based not on fear, but on a deep intuitive certainty.

Several months into rebuilding my life, I stumbled across an old Word document tucked away on my hard drive: "Career Options for Me."

I almost laughed. Surely this belonged to someone else.

But there it was—written in plain, earnest 10-point Times New Roman: Coaching. Writing. Creating experiences to support women.

It hit me like lightning—My past self had left a breadcrumb trail for me. And I was finally ready to follow it.

In that moment, I realized something key: I'm never going to stop wanting this.
Because this—helping women remember who they are, trust themselves again, and create lives that light them up—this is what I’m here for.

Why I do this work

Because my younger self always knew. And I believe your younger self knows, too.

We’re told to play small, to settle, to silence our longings.

But the truth is:
Your joy is possible.
Your dreams are doable.
Your courage is already inside you.

You just have to be willing to follow the spark.

This is what I’m here for.

To help you find it, trust it, and build a life around it. To have your own Firefly Moments.
