Let me tell you a story…

Younger me spent way too much time escaping into fantasy books.

But outside of the magic in those stories, I had a hard time believing in anything—especially myself.

All I wanted to do was run away.

I felt disconnected, misunderstood, and like I had to wear a mask and put on an act 24/7 just to avoid conflict. Every decision I made was based on the expectations of everyone around me.

I spiraled into a pit of people-pleasing BS until I couldn’t even see the point of going on.

Then, sometime in my late 20s, something shifted. I started taking ownership of my life.

For the first time ever, I prioritized my happiness and walked away from a cushy, salaried career that had me crying in my steering wheel every morning.

I realized that I had the power to choose for myself—and every leap of faith after that came easier and faster.

I gathered the tools, strategies, and guidance I needed to pull myself out of what I now lovingly call "the dark time" and became the person that Little Me needed when she felt completely alone.

By embracing my past, I finally connected to my purpose: helping others be true to themselves, discover their magic, and build lives they don’t want to escape from.
