I never planned to be a coach. In fact, growing up, I swore I’d never be self-employed.

My dad was a plumber who worked relentlessly. I watched him juggle emergency calls, late nights, and constant stress. I promised myself I’d chase the stability of a 9 - 5.

And I did. For 20 years.

I built a high-octane career in the music industry, promoting concerts for legends like Dave Matthews, Eminem, and Santana. On paper, I had the "dream job." In reality? I was exhausted. The steady paychecks grew, but so did the burnout. I traded one corporate gig for another, hoping the next one would fix it. It didn't.

Despite my fear of entrepreneurship, I realized I craved control. I wanted to own my time and create something meaningful. So, I took the leap.

But here’s the catch: I brought my toxic hustle mentality with me.

I built my own business, but I ran it like I was still answering to a corporate overlord. Long hours, over-commitment, and zero boundaries left me burned out - again.

That was my breakthrough moment. I realized that growth doesn’t have to mean exhaustion.

For the last seven years, I’ve been building a business that aligns with my values. I redefined success to mean balance, intention, and energy. Now, I help other women do the same.
