How it all started:

From an outsider’s perspective, I had “everything”.

A wonderful supportive family ✓

Great friends ✓

Flourishing Career ✓

The freedom to travel the world at a drop of a hat, for as long as I wanted and when I wanted. ✓

Lived in one of the most incredible cities in the world, New York City. ✓

I found myself, looking for more.  Something was missing.   I was looking for a greater purpose.  I was at the top of my career ladder before I even turned 27.  I knew that there was more out there for me to discover, I just did not know what.  I started “looking” for the answers to my questions. I was on a mission to find “it”.  I studied (and continue to study) philosophy, leadership, self-help/development, basically ANYTHING I could get my hands on.   

I was making progress until…

I hit rock bottom. I kept changing outside circumstances but what I really needed was to change what was going on internally.

Going Deep…

This was my wake up call.  I came to the realization that I was sleepwalking throughout my life. I was doing all the things that everyone else was telling me would make me happy but not listening to my own gut.  I took this as my opportunity to make a real change in my life.

My mission went from finding what was missing to just being who I am. I finally understood what I truly wanted and took the action steps to get do to get there.  From that space, inspiration took over.  

• I studied even more.  

• I read and reread books with fresh eyes.  

• I was forced to look into the deeper parts of myself and bring them to the surface. 

• I had hard conversations with people I never thought I could have.  

• I attended all types of workshops and courses from renowned self-help leaders.

• I started traveling with a purpose, to learn about different cultures and gain the experiences I read about.  (To date, I have traveled to over 74 countries and still counting).

I then personally tested out what I was studying, whatever tools I learned I tried out. What worked for me stayed and what didn’t I let go of.  I developed a new understanding of what I studied and most importantly I gained a new understanding of myself.  

All my work paid off and I’m proud to say today I am living the life I always wanted! 

I am now am happily married with my beautiful daughter and another one on the way. I realized all I ever wanted was never outside of myself but was always within. I had to do the internal work to create the change outside of me.

I'm here to help! I can show you how to:

• Find your passions so that it can be transformed into your life purpose.

• I'll teach you the tools I have created and use every day to create anything you want.

I’m here to serve YOU!  What I share will transform your life as it has transformed mine.
