My Story
I did the corporate 9 to 5 thing for 10 years. I’ll never forget the exact moment I decided I wanted to become an entrepreneur.
I was in my office, way up on the 19th floor, gazing out the window. I had just become a new mom, I was thinking about my life and if I wanted to continue with the grind.
I had always prided myself on my accomplishments in the corporate world. I had an amazing experience working on one of the top teams in the financial services industry.
While I had always believed that I contributed significantly to my team and to our clients, I was searching for the next level of meaning in my life, a way I could contribute to the world in a new and different way. While I was thriving and was very financially successful, I just couldn’t shake the feeling there was more.
Then…..
Major Changes!
In 2005, my husband and I separated. Now imagine this – we just moved to a new city, new home, few friends, no connections, no job, and 2 little children to support. I did not want to get back to the 9 to 5 grind and that’s where my journey as an entrepreneur began.
Little did I know becoming an entrepreneur would take me on a journey of major personal growth, looking at business in a different way, and opportunities that I could have only dreamed of. And these are the things I want to share with you. This is my calling.
The rest of the scoop
My two children are my heart and soul. They are loved deeply.
People tell me when they’re around me, they feel inspired to take action!
I’m a great listener and get annoyed with people who constantly interrupt others. Listen!
My lifestyle centers around health. Spiritual, physical, and emotional health is the foundation and when we focus our efforts there, we can be the best version of ourselves!
I believe that you need to build your dream, not someone else’s.
It’s my dream to be on stage influencing thousands!
I am a Cavalier mama. That dog is my heart!
I am addicted to personal growth. I started pursuing personal growth when I was in college and my passion for it grows deeper and deeper every day!
I started running, biking, swimming, and triathlon-ing at age 46. I love all these sports but am still terrified to swim in the ocean!
There are a LOT of Little Big Things swirling around in this head that can make an impact on your life!
