The journey of Unlocking My Best Life

I was spending the hot Texas summer days having fun in the pool with my two girls. I had accepted a generous severance package from my executive management position. I was so excited to be trying out this “full-time mom” gig - I would really enjoy this time and decide on my new career path.

Or at least that was my plan…             

Five years later, I was overwhelmed, overweight, and feeling stuck. My career was indefinitely on hold, we moved to a new city, I had two kids in school, two babies at home and I still did a smidge of business consulting on the side. I had experienced personal losses, and my marriage was so hard.

I remember the month that all four kids and I were plagued with recurring bouts of strep throat. All I wanted was an elusive hot shower and a good long sleep. 

I adored my kids but, but I was losing myself while taking care of everyone else. 

One day, a friend asked if I wanted to join a fitness bootcamp. While I really wanted to, I could not justify the cost, but I knew this would change my life for the better. 

So, instead of remaining a victim of circumstances, I decided to take back control of my life. I got certified and built my fitness and coaching businesses. I was hand crafting my life with purpose and it felt amazing! 

 When it seemed I was most fulfilled, life knocked me down hard in 2015.

One day, I literally fell into a puddle of spilled paint in my bedroom. I laid there for at least an hour crying and disappointed about the state of my life.

In this moment, I committed to change my life for good.

I decided that circumstances and other people would no longer hold me back.  Since that day, I have been on the incredible journey of unlocking my best self and my best life, despite life’s inevitable challenges and suffering.

My enormous ‘aha’ moment was realizing that finding my best self and living my truth and my purpose is not selfish. It is the only way to keep unlocking my best life and better serve those I care about the most.

I want this for you.💜

Spoiler alert!  Unlocking my best life DOES NOT mean I have a perfect life now...

Over the past five years, my children have experienced serious ongoing mental health challenges and medical issues requiring my greatest vigilance. I have navigated the very painful and long process of ending my 29-year marriage during the pandemic. Like everyone, we have been adapting to the uncertain concerns of COVID and ongoing world tensions. 

Because I am living as my authentic best self

• I have better boundaries to extend and receive love.
• I advocate for my children, without losing myself in the challenges. 
• I reject the fear, shame and guilt that have held me back in business & life.
• I more confidently serve and love my family, my clients and myself.
• I am coaching entrepreneur & leaders to make their impact in the world.
• I am living with purpose, on purpose every day.

I am growing my influence and making the impact God called me to in the world, despite the trials. This is the journey of unlocking your best life that brings true joy, fulfillment, and freedom daily. 

I want this for you. 💜

• Do you feel stuck in indecision or fear of making the wrong choices?

The only way you can move forward is to DECIDE to get unstuck once and for all.  Each of the 10 KEY steps will take you on the journey to find your authentic best self, and live a life of purpose, on purpose.

I promise it is within reach and is the most unselfish way to serve those you love the most and make your unique impact in the world.

In my work, I am humbled and honored to coach others on the next steps forward to better in their life and their work.  I am a busy single Momma of 4, a Grammy of 2, an entrepreneur, a leader and a woman of faith. I know that unlocking joy, fulfillment and freedom requires great commitment daily.  

You are worth it 💜

True joy, fulfillment and freedom comes from living with purpose, on purpose, every day.  I genuinely believe that everyone has the choice to own their unique story and make their unique impact to make in the world.
