My Business Origin Story

After spending 20 years in big business and feeling an intense wave of relief when I was let go from my most recent corporate position 10 years ago (yes, my anniversary of starting my business comes up in March), I realized that I needed a change. I wanted to feel free. Thankfully, my curious nature helped guide me to a place where I could ask myself difficult questions in order to find honest, helpful answers.

During my college years, I was always the person at the table who wanted to help people think differently. I was getting a behavioral science degree at the time, and during lunch I would ask my tablemates things I knew would shock them into a different way of thinking. Little did I know that honing that natural curiosity and desire to shake things up would be the foundation for my career as a life architect decades later.

When I found myself happily unemployed, I realized it was time to shake things up in my own life with a series of shocking questions. So, I asked myself “What do I really want?” and “What has made me the happiest in my life work-wise so far?” It didn’t take me long to notice a theme. All of my answers were shaped around helping others. My first thought was that I should go back to school to become a therapist, but I already had my master’s degree in counseling. Going back to school to further my education with yet another degree was not the answer. So, I got even more curious about my options, and found a life coaching certification program that felt like the perfect way to learn, grow, and move forward.

At this point, I also decided to be honest about the way my past had shaped my confidence. I realized that if I wanted to help others get their mojo back, I had to do it first myself. So, I traveled back in time and thought about how my grandmother had always told me I was the fat one and that’s why I didn’t have any friends. I thought about the friends who had told me I would never look the way I should. And I confronted it all in a systematic way that would go on to shape how I help clients confront their own lack of confidence.

When I confronted my past, I also realized that I had everything I needed within me and that I was free to believe in myself, but not just believe, also trust in my abilities and act from there. Along the path that led to my journey as a life architect, I realized I had always been a life coach. And now, over 10 years later, I still enjoy the liberty to embrace my unique intuition and experience to help transform the lives of others for good.

I’m an expert in transformation. Allow me to help you along that path of transformation.
