Pivot with Passion and Purpose

Helping successful women thrive after a major life shift.

Get through the most uncertain season of life with the most clarity and certainty than ever before

Find your authentic self after being destabilized while in survival mode, act according to your true sense of purpose and start living a more fulfilled life

Women have been encouraged to dream big, and the hard work pays off but what no one talks about is…

Women in leadership positions are struggling because the system was never made for us to sustainably perform with the same skill set that got us here because those same actions are going to lead us straight to burnout

Wether its a divorce, promotion, marriage, parenthood, career change, these patterns don’t go away when a big life events happen… these survival mode patterns may go into hyperdrive because we have never experienced success with more sustainable approaches.

❗️Anxiety

❗️Perfectionism

❗️Overprepping

❗️Overanalyzing

❗️Over accommodating

❗️Overworking

What happens when life just keeps life-ing…

it gets really hard to see any other way out when all you know is how to accomplish goals from a place of:

✨ Notices when she's overwhelmed before she burns out.

✨ Sets boundaries without apologizing.

✨ Makes decisions from her values instead of people-pleasing.

✨ Regulates her emotions instead of being controlled by them.

✨ Trusts herself more than external validation.

✨ Takes aligned action even when fear is present.

✨ Prioritizes rest because she knows it's part of high performance.

✨ Responds thoughtfully instead of reacting impulsively.

Understanding the power of developing a stronger sense of purpose and self-leadership results in a woman who:

And That’s Where I come IN!!

I guide high achieving women through a disruptive life season using curated and customized self-leadership approaches to move from survival mode to calm, confident success. Through mindfulness, cogntive-behavioral restructuring, nervous system regulation, and emotional awareness, you will learn to lead yourself through the most uncertain time with clarity and certainty.

The Self Leadership Method

Stop achieving from Survival Mode and Start leading yourself authentically with a sustainable life plan.

Rework years of social programing within weeks:

Regulate: Reconnect with yourself, and your inner knowing

  • Reconnect with your body by mastering emotional awareness and learning strategies to regulate your nervous system so you can finally connect with your core self, and make decisions from a calm, curious and confident state…. not survival mode

Release: Break through and rework your self limiting beliefs

  • Develop a better understanding of your people pleasing, perfectionism, self-sabotaging patterns that are keeping you in a state of defensive and protective mode. Learn how to unburden yourself and lay down the defenses so you can start being effective with less distress

Rise: Emerge with a unstoppable sense of confidence

  • Start making decisions from a place of purpose not protection. Identify your north stars and gain clarity with the path you are on. Learn expert informed sustainable success habits. Unapologetically set boundaries and take aligned action with your unbreakable sense of purpose.

If you are feeling anything like how I was when I was in my burnout phase…

If you are like me you are probably giving your all …personally and professionally

👉 bypassing/ dismissing your needs,

👉 carrying a heavy mental load,

👉 operating with no sense of direction

👉 on autopilot-doing what seems like the right thing.

You’re so used to pleasing and “doing the right thing” that you don’t even know how to take care of yourself. You’ve been waiting on some outcome to show up to finally chill…

The problem is…you are caught up in doing more to feel better but don’t know the difference between what is in your control and what is out of your control. You end up giving external factors way too much power over your wellbeing.

Women are likely to carry burdens and guilt that don’t belong to them because we are natural nurturers, and care takers which is how we end up:

  • Giving our all without speaking directly about what our true capacity is,

  • Too afraid of judgment so we don’t ask for support and

  • People Please and dismiss our needs so we have trouble setting boundaries and maintaining them

Here's a secret.. You don’t need anything or anyone to change for you to feel and be better.

You just need to find your purpose and your sense of self worth and the rest start falling into alignment

Whether its culture or social conditioning, women like you and me have been defaulting to doing the “right” thing and never truly gave yourself the time to truly take inventory of what a successful fulfilling life could be like for YOU!

Coming from a hyper-independent, people pleasing, perfectionist myself:

Its ok to give yourself permission to let go… but you don’t have to do it alone

I’ve helped myself find steady leadership and supported hundreds of clients through major life changes by calming defenses and learning to be effective while letting go of control. Facing our shadows is hard, and trying to transform them alone is even harder. Real change happened for me by learning with other women in safe groups, from experts, and by being vulnerable. We share common patterns; once you notice them, things become clearer and you feel able to act. Most of my work has been in one-on-one therapy, but you don’t need to tell your whole life story to change. That’s why I created this program.

My background in cogntive-behavioral therapy, integrative mental health, somatic approaches, and parts work has helped me develop a set of the most powerful approaches to help myself and my clients break through mental and behavioral blocks as well as integrate sustainable wellness practices to enhance confidence, become more effective in challenging situations and start living life feeling more successful than ever.
