Money Breakthrough and Career Coach
I know what it’s like to walk into my office listening to the cadence of my sensible pumps while my inner voice repeats “I hate this. I hate this.” At the tail end of my very successful 18-year career in marketing, I was exhausted down to my bones.
I thought I was doing all the right things – drinking plenty of water, eating my vegetables and exercising if I could get myself out of the office. But true satisfaction and wellness were out of my reach, no matter how hard I tried. My body was literally screaming at me with migraine headaches, stomach issues and challenges sleeping, not to mention my regular relationship with antibiotics.
I am now the career coach I wish I’d had
Passion and purpose were completely missing from my life. Plus, without time freedom, creative freedom, and freedom to be who I am, my soul was leaking out of me. I needed to figure out what would motivate me to leap out of bed every day. And once I did, doors seemed to start opening magically.
It was a natural progression from there into coaching. I had already been mentoring, training and counseling my staff, associates and fellow business owners. But an even bigger clue was the fact that people had been coming to me for insight, support and problem-solving since I was a teenager.
And now I can say, I’ve never had a job for this long in my life and certainly not one I still love this much 11+ years later. Designing creative career solutions based on my clients’ truth, speaking at organizations and women’s leadership conferences, working one-on-one in private retreats with clients who fly to Boulder to work with me, being a contributing author, radio show guest and teaching workshops at the Leeds School of Business and the University of Colorado Boulder Career Center are nothing but pure gifts.
I’ve created a life I love, and am passionately committed to helping my clients do the same. With my thriving career coaching business, I found my purpose. I am tapping into my passions and what comes naturally to me every day. Relocating from a fast-paced, demanding life in Los Angeles, I proudly fulfilled a vision that reflects who I am today. Very happily, I live with my husband, flower and herb garden we call our “kids,” and surprisingly dirty purple hiking boots at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in picturesque Boulder, CO.
