My Journey to Coaching

A peep into my Story

If you look up the definition of a people pleaser, you would have found a picture of me, up close and personal! I said yes to everything and never stuck to my boundaries. I struggled with anxiety and confidence in both my personal and professional life. In the healthcare field, this is a recipe for both disaster and burnout. Both of which I experienced.

Getting to know what was important to me and who I was, allowed me to recognize, “if you’re not first, you’re last.” Today, I have boundaries that don’t get pushed aside. I say “no” like it’s my job (no pun intended 🙃) and surround myself with the most positive people who add value to my life. I have found balance while crushing my goals and not compromising my time or energy.

I constantly hear, “There just isn’t enough time in the day.” I’m here to tell you there is and I can help you find it. I will teach and empower you to take back your day. Lead your day, don’t let it lead you.

I can’t wait to support you on your journey to achieving balance in both your personal and professional life!

Here’s My Why…

Strength and Balance to Both Your Personal and Professional Life

Family

I have always dreamt of having the most amazing family…and now I have it. My husband is my inspiration for becoming a Life Coach and I have him to thank for allowing me to grow into the person and Coach I am. We live a peaceful life in Western, NY as foster parents to three beautiful boys that we love with all of our hearts.

Love

My husband and I struggled with starting our own family, which significantly altered our vision of the future. After much contemplation, we chose to become foster parents in 2021. This journey has had its share of ups and downs, but we've gained profound insights along the way. Realizing the opportunity to support others through similar experiences, I am eager to share and support other foster parents.

Home

Nola and Lucerne! We named our pups after two of our favorite places that bring us amazing memories. Nola - is where we got married, one of our favorite places to visit. Lucerne (Lucy) was the most beautiful place in Europe we visited for our honeymoon. We can’t wait to go back. Nola and Lucy, completed our family and life would not be the same without them.

The Bears…

The Native Bear Symbol represents Strength, Vitality, Courage, and Health. The primary meaning of the bear spirit animal is strength and confidence. Standing against adversity; taking action and leadership. The spirit of the bear indicates a time for healing abilities to help self or others. This definition is a true depiction of my life and what I want to do for other women.
