My Why
A few years ago, I realized I had fallen into a pattern many high-achieving leaders know all too well: pouring energy into everyone else while losing sight of myself. As a full-time mother, I dedicated myself to my family, striving to be present, dependable, and supportive in every way. I took pride in showing up for others—but somewhere along the way, I stopped asking the most important question: What about me?
I was moving through life on autopilot. My days were full, but I felt disconnected from what truly energized me and brought me joy. I had lost touch with my own values, needs, and aspirations. It was a wake-up call that led me to explore how to reclaim clarity, confidence, and balance—not just as a parent or professional, but as a whole, authentic self.
Rediscovering Who I Was
Looking back, the signs were always there. I’ve always been intuitive, curious, and passionate about helping others realize their potential. I loved deep conversations about purpose, growth, and transformation, and I thrived in spaces where I could support people in stepping fully into themselves.
But instead of leaning into these strengths, I had put them aside. I unconsciously believed that being a “good mother” or “dependable leader” meant sidelining my own passions and needs. I wasn’t honoring my core values—authenticity, honesty, freedom, autonomy, community, and fun. I valued personal growth, yet I wasn’t creating space for my own evolution. I believed in living a life of purpose, yet my daily routine left little room for fulfillment.
Making the Shift
Little by little, I began making intentional shifts:
✔️ I carved out time for my own passions—even small moments for reading, reflection, movement, and rediscovering what truly energized me.
✔️ I set boundaries and released the guilt around prioritizing myself, learning that self-care wasn’t selfish—it was essential.
✔️ I aligned my choices with what truly mattered to me, instead of following what I thought I “should” be doing.
These small changes had a profound impact. I felt lighter, more energized, and deeply connected to myself. In that space of reconnection, something powerful emerged—I discovered my next chapter and the path I was meant to lead others along.
Turning My Journey into My Life’s Work
As I deepened my self-awareness, I realized I wasn’t alone. Many high-achieving leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals, and parents face the same challenge: outwardly successful, yet inwardly disconnected. They give their all to others while losing touch with themselves.
Today, I coach high achievers who feel overwhelmed and off-balance, guiding them to lead with confidence, clarity, and authenticity—without sacrificing their wellbeing.
I know firsthand what it feels like to lose yourself—and what’s possible when you come back to who you truly are.
