Why I Became a Life Coach
My journey began in the spaces between what looked right and what felt real.
Growing up with an absent father and separated from my mother for much of my childhood, I learned early that love had to be earned through performance and achievement. I became an expert at creating a life that looked successful from the outside while feeling disconnected and hollow within.
For fifteen years, I built a thriving career as a photo editor in the corporate world. I checked all the boxes, climbed the ladder, and appeared to have it all figured out. But beneath the surface, I was living by old stories that no longer served me—stories that said my worth depended on how much I could achieve and how little space I took up.
In 2024, everything changed. I made the courageous decision to step away from corporate life, not because I had all the answers, but because I was finally ready to stop hiding behind achievements and start showing up as myself.
The transformation wasn't instant. Rebuilding confidence and self-trust happened quietly, consistently, one brave choice at a time. I learned to replace the voice of survival with the voice of possibility. I discovered that a life built on authenticity feels completely different than one built on achievement alone.
Today, I guide ambitious women through this same transformation.
I work with clients who are tired of living by limiting beliefs and ready to write new stories rooted in self-trust, clarity, and genuine confidence. Together, we don't just identify what's holding you back—we actively rebuild who you're becoming.
You might be ready for coaching if you've ever thought:
"I know there's more for me, but I don't know where to start"
"I've outgrown who I've been, but I don't know who I'm becoming yet"
"I'm tired of shrinking, settling, or second-guessing myself"
My approach combines deep inner work with practical strategies that create lasting change. This isn't about quick fixes or surface-level motivation, it's about fundamental transformation that touches every area of your life.
