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.

The voices that said, “Be practical.” “Play it safe.” “You can’t make money doing that.”

So I followed the rules.

Climbed the ladder. Co-owned a successful spa business. Bought a house.

From the outside? It looked good.

But on the inside, I was running on empty.

Until one day, I finally got still enough to hear the whisper inside me ask:

Is this all there is?

Where was the joy? The peace? The fulfillment I was promised if I just did it all right?

The answer came quietly:

Not like this. There has to be another way.

So I walked away from the business, the house, the version of success 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 not out of fear, but from a place of deep inner knowing.

A few months into rebuilding, I found an old Word doc tucked away on my computer:

“Career Options for Me.”

It made me laugh. Surely it belonged to someone else.

But there it was—written in 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.

And this time, I was ready to follow it.

Because this—helping women remember who they are, trust themselves again, and build lives that light them up—this is what I’m here for.

It always has been.

Why I do this work

Because my younger self always knew.

And I believe your younger self knows, too.

We’ve been taught to doubt it.
To silence it.
To “be realistic.”

But the truth is:
Your joy is possible.
Your dreams are doable.
Your wisdom is already within you.

You don’t need to prove your worth—you just need to follow the spark.

That moment when it all becomes clear—when you remember what you want and who you are—

That’s what I call a Firefly Moment.

And I’m here to help you find yours.

Each chapter of my journey—personal and professional—has deepened my belief that true success isn’t just about achievement.

It’s about alignment, integrity, and creating a life that lights you up from the inside out.
