My Journey: From Middle School Teacher to Empowering Women

After spending ten amazingly fulfilling years as a middle school math and science teacher, my personal journey of authentic living unexpectedly collided with my career journey, leading me to transition from full-time teacher to full-time life-coach.

My dedication to helping women find and love themselves draws from my own transformative experience. In my twenties, I felt lost and unfulfilled, grappling with the questions, “Who am I?” and “Why am I here?” while wondering where my enthusiasm for life had gone. I felt stuck, uninspired, and disconnected. I was sad and ultimately slipped into a depression.

I began working with a therapist, and as I journeyed to find meaning, passion, and my place in the world, I had a profound realization as I stood on the doorstep of my building on 5th Avenue in Manhattan, staring out at the people rushing past me: "In this big and busy world, I am one of a kind; there is no one else exactly like me." This epiphany drove me to lean into my uniqueness, turning away from society's standards and expectations, and instead tuning into my own inner voice to discover my truest self.

My mantra became “I choose authenticity over approval,” and I chose words and actions that expressed the woman I was inside, instead of choosing words and actions that others would find admirable. I stopped worrying about what others might think of me and instead focused on building a loving relationship with myself.

With this shift, I became empowered and whole. Self-love and authenticity became the foundation on which I built my happiness, and I built a home for myself within myself. When I step into the world, I carry with me a deep sense of self-knowing and self-loving wherever I go, and that is the safe and stable foundation that allows me to take risks, grow, and expand. Today, my mission is to guide women on their own journey to self-love and authenticity, so that they can live freely as their truest selves, chasing everything they desire, all while carrying their best friend with them wherever they go.

Guiding women to understand that they matter and that they are worthy and capable of everything they dream of is an absolute pleasure and tremendous honor. Thank you for trusting me and allowing me to be a part of your journey!
