Why me? Why now?

I remember years ago, the first time a professional colleague trusted me with a challenge she was having. After an informal lunch conversation, she said:  “You should think about becoming a coach. You’d be great at it!”

I’ve always loved helping others. But I had a corporate job, small children and a family who relied on my steady income and benefits. And while I continued to see opportunity and grow my career, my passion for mentoring, coaching and helping others continued to grow as well. If you’ve read the “About” section on this site, you know I’ve been on a personal growth kick from way back.

Then, in the fall of 2020 — six months into a global pandemic — my job was eliminated. I received a small severance, my children’s college funds were in a good place, my mortgage payment was comfortable… in other words, the timing was as good as it was ever going to get. I finally decided to pursue my dual goal of stepping into a career of coaching and shifting to work that’s location and time zone independent.

The further into my formal coaching training program, the more committed, determined and passionate I became. I’m here to serve, and I know I can help you live a fuller, richer life!
