​​

I describe myself as:

  • A woman who works hard most days to be happy in my soul and "have it all" (and this means something different to each of us) and feel it is possible with resolve, intention, and hard work.

  • A wife who has made many memories on the 20+ year rollercoaster journey called marriage while also navigating the inevitable challenges, struggles, and loneliness that come with it.

  • A mother (of fraternal twin sons- 15 & a daughter- 12) who loves her children dearly and has worked hard to balance their needs while still valuing my own. A caretaker who often feels like she is working 24/7 to jump on the teachable moments, knowing my time with them at home is going by too fast.

  • A daughter (of a parent gone too soon) who misses her mom dearly. A daughter who still works hard to make cherished memories for her children with their grandfather.

  • A sister who tries to stay connected to her siblings who all live in different states and who remain three points on the same triangle (we do have cats and some childhood movies in common, lol).

  • A loyal professional who for years, organized her world to be present and impactful. A skilled and courageous worker who learned to take a risk, turn the page, and move on from a non-supportive and toxic work environment, to focus on what’s really important- my mental health & family. (It was during these time where I learned the greatest lessons). Someone who has faced being laid off and discovered how to handle it without letting rejection define them.

  • A homemaker who believes that your living space should also be your sanctuary- the place you feel in control, safe, comfortable, and loved. An organizer who believes everything has its place and routines will keep you sane.

  • A great friend who loves to laugh and spend time with people close to me and who hold a special place in my heart. A friend who would do anything for those I care for and who has learned that time, presence, and investment in relationships is what truly matters.

  • A pet enthusiast and lover of most animals, who lives with three black rescue cats who I adore (and take too many pictures of, lol).

  • An avid volunteer and community contributor who believes in giving back, making a difference, and making an impact in the areas that matter most to me- mental health & wellness, children & education, and service to others.  â€‹

Through the journeys of my personal, professional, and lived experiences, I, too, have been actively putting my Pieces in Place, learning to create balance, protect my well-being, and make intentional choices that align with who I truly want to be. These experiences have shaped not only my perspective but also my approach as a coach, allowing me to guide others with empathy, insight, and real-world understanding.

I have learned to create time for the things that I love and that matter most to me: traveling and exploring new places with family, visiting loved ones, pot-lucking with friends, celebrating with family and friends during annual trips and holiday gatherings, going out to eat at restaurants with tasty food, watching movies on the big screen in the theater while eating buttery popcorn, leaning into my volunteer work and building meaningful relationships, and sitting by a wood-burning fire, a long-standing tradition from when I was a child (that my children too have been growing up with).
