🇺🇸✨ Happy Fourth of July, friends!

As we celebrate our nation’s independence today—picnics, fireworks, flags waving proudly—I’m reminded that independence isn’t just a national treasure, but also a personal trait worth cultivating.

It’s the freedom to think for ourselves.
The courage to stand up for what’s right.
The responsibility to choose our own path, even when it’s hard.

Today I’m grateful for the sacrifices that won our country’s freedom—and I’m reflecting on how I can honor that spirit by living with integrity, courage, and self-reliance in my own life.

Wishing you a safe and joyful Fourth of July! Let freedom ring—out there, and in here. ❤️🤍💙

✨ Burnout to Brilliance: Let’s Talk About Filters

Ever feel like you’re barely holding it together, but your social media feed still shows your best angle, good lighting, and a forced smile?
Yeah—me too.

Here’s the truth:
We’ve mastered using filters—not just the ones on our phones, but the ones we use in life.
🌀 The “I’m fine” filter.
🌀 The “I’ve got it all together” filter.
🌀 The “Just push through” filter.

But underneath those filters?
👉 A brilliant woman running on empty.
👉 A leader who’s lost her spark.
👉 A human craving rest, truth, and real connection.

Burnout doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you’ve been strong for too long.
And brilliance? It’s not a filter. It’s what’s left when the pretending stops and the healing starts.

Want to work with me to move through burnout to brilliance, join me on a coaching call to discuss strategies.

💛 You don’t need to fake it to make it.
Let’s unfilter and shine anyway.

Looking for my tribe….

She never married.
Never had children.
She doesn’t regret it.
But something’s shifting…

She’s ready for more.
More connection.
More clarity.
More her.

Stay tuned. Something bold is coming for women like her.
Women like you.

Love creating experiences in trainings. According to research, people generally only remember 25% of what is heard. However that % goes up if they “feel” something about message. I love creating psychologically safe environments where people can be themselves and have fun while learning!
