I spent over twenty years in fitness and wellness, including leading a revenue generating department at Life Time Fitness where I managed a team and was accountable for real business results. That experience taught me what it feels like to carry pressure, lead people, and hold a team together when the stakes are high.

 

It also taught me something harder. I was stressed, felt undervalued, and spent a lot of energy looking outward for the source of the problem. It took me years to understand that the stories I was telling myself were doing more damage than anything happening around me.

 

That realization sent me down a path I have never left.

 

I trained in life coaching and dove deep into the science of why people stay stuck even when they know exactly what they need to do. The answer almost always lives beneath the surface, in the subconscious beliefs around belonging, safety, and identity that drive behavior in ways we cannot see until someone helps us look.

 

I became certified in the Hogan Assessment, one of the most rigorously researched personality science tools in the world, because I wanted to bring real data into the coaching conversation. Not opinions. Not intuition alone. Actual science about how people are wired and why they do what they do under pressure.

 

And I spent years facilitating forums with Entrepreneurs Organization, sitting in rooms with founders at their most honest. That work showed me something I had not fully anticipated. I am genuinely good at creating spaces where people say the things they have never said out loud. And I love it.

 

I also want you to know I am a mom of two teenage boys running my own business, doing my own inner work, and navigating the same tension between ambition and presence that most of my clients know well. I have felt the exhaustion. I have avoided the hard conversations. I have sat with the gap between the leader I wanted to be and the one who showed up when I was stretched too thin.

 

That is not a liability. It is why this work is real.

 

My approach is grounded in the research of Brené Brown on vulnerability, Byron Katie on the thoughts that keep us stuck, and neuroscientist Dr. Caroline Leaf on how our thought patterns shape our behavior at a biological level.

 

WHAT I BRING TO THIS WORK

• Certified Hogan Assessment practitioner, using decades of personality science to reveal how leaders show up under pressure and what is quietly costing their team.

• Certified Forum Within facilitator and trained EO Forum facilitator, creating structured honest dialogue that most leadership teams have never experienced.

• Certified life coach grounded in the relationship between subconscious beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and the results we create in our lives and businesses.

• Workshop facilitator on identity, lovability, and time management for leaders ready to go deeper.

 

WHO I WORK WITH

CEOs, founders, and entrepreneurs of owner-operated companies and their teams who are ready to stop pushing harder and start understanding what is actually driving the results they are getting.

Some come for their leadership team. Some come for themselves. Most end up doing both.

 

CLOSING

I work with a small number of clients and organizations each year because this work requires real attention and real time. If you are wondering whether we might be a good fit I would love to have a conversation.
