My mission is simple:
I help women reclaim the life and career they deserve—without burning everything down to start over.
My Story
I believed I had to do everything alone.
As a child, my mother kidnapped me and left me alone for long periods. That experience shaped me. It made me independent, strong, and resilient.
But it also convinced me I couldn’t ask for help. If I wanted change, I had to make it happen myself.
I struggled to trust support existed. I saw personal accountability as doing everything alone.
And for years, that belief held me back.
It took me a long time to realize that while we are responsible for creating the lives we want, that doesn’t mean we have to do it alone.
You don’t have to make the same mistakes I did. You don’t have to carry everything by yourself.
I want you to know, you’re not alone.Â
I’m here to help you find your way forward.
I take personal accountability very seriously. No one’s coming to save you. But you also don’t have to do it alone.

If you want to create a career and life you love, you have to accept one truth:
"You are 100% responsible for making it happen."
That means no more waiting, no more hoping, no more settling.
And the sooner you own that power, the sooner everything changes.
For 15 years, I’ve coached thousands of women across the country—helping them navigate midlife transitions, career pivots, and personal reinvention.
✔️ Feel stuck in your career but don’t know how to pivot? I’ll help you design a career that excites you again.
✔️ Going through a major life transition (divorce, empty nest, career burnout) and wondering what’s next? I've been there and I can help you find clarity, confidence, and purpose.
✔️ Tired of feeling like life is passing you by? I’ll show you how to reclaim your time, your dreams, and your power.
Remember: You don’t have to do it all alone. You’re in charge, but you don’t have to do it by yourself.
What You Should Know About Me
I’m not just another coach—I’ve lived this transformation.
I know what it’s like to feel stuck. To question if it’s too late. To wonder if reinvention is really possible.
Because I’ve been there.
✅ I overcame childhood trauma—learning early on that I had to be strong, independent, and resourceful. But I also learned that true strength isn’t doing it all alone.
✅ I rebuilt after a painful divorce—proving to myself that no setback defines my future.
✅ I navigated the empty nest transition—rediscovering who I was outside of the roles I had played for so long.
✅ I spent 30 years in corporate America—rising through the ranks, leading teams, and understanding firsthand what it takes to thrive (and what holds women back).
✅ I’ve led 30+ transformational workshops—helping women step into their power and create meaningful change.
✅ I’ve coached for 15 years, working with both individuals and groups—guiding thousands of women to reclaim their careers, confidence, and purpose.
✅ I’m a five-time bestselling author. My first solo book, The Nature of Transformation, along with four compilation books, has captivated readers and received critical acclaim—because transformation isn’t just something I teach, it’s something I’ve lived and written about.
I don’t just teach theory—I’ve lived this journey, tested what works, and refined it so you don’t have to make the same mistakes I did.
Now, I help women like you break free from what’s holding them back and build careers (and lives) they truly love.
What I Know For Sure:
- It’s never too late to build the career (and life) you truly want. (Let’s kill that myth right now.)
- You don’t have to start from scratch or burn everything down. You just need the right support, the right strategy, and a game plan that works.
- Reinvention isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about reclaiming the person you were always meant to be.
-  And your best career years? They’re not behind you. They’re ahead of you—waiting for you to claim them.
