My Journey

What’s my Story?

I was once a confident, joyful child and teenager, full of life and happiness. I met my husband young, marrying at just 19. After working in the corporate world for a time, I left when I became pregnant with our first child to help with my husband’s business.

Four and a half years later, I was a working mom of four. Yes, four kids in 4 ½ years—including a set of twins! Life quickly became a whirlwind.

My time and energy were pulled in many directions—caregiving, nurturing, serving, business advising, and doing my best to meet everyone’s needs. As if that wasn’t enough, I chose to homeschool my kids, adding the role of full-time teacher. I transitioned out of our business's physical work and became a “business advisor and coach” to my husband from home.

Life was busy.

I had so many wonderful, amazing experiences that I wouldn’t trade for the world. But it was also exhausting and incredibly hard.

Then, one day, after a few life transitions, I woke up realizing I had no idea what was next. It felt like I was standing at a crossroads with no direction.

I was lost—unsure of where I was headed and even who I was. After years of running on autopilot, the stillness terrified me. It was easier to stay busy and overwhelmed than to look in the mirror and face who I had become.

My wise husband urged me not to “rush into the next thing to fill my time,” but to be still and figure out who I am, and from that place, enter my next chapter.

Though I was scared, I took his advice. Through the encouragement of a friend, I was introduced to life coaching— it changed me completely.

In my journey with life coaching, I rediscovered who I used to be, reconnected with parts of myself I had lost, and merged them with the woman I had become. I began living in alignment with my strengths, values, and who God created me to be. I let go of beliefs that weren’t serving me and found new direction for my life’s next chapter.

Now, I’m passionate about helping others, especially women, rediscover their strengths, desires, and dreams—and walking with them as they work to achieve them.

By taking one uncertain step in a new direction, I discovered a life I hadn’t imagined possible.
