I didn’t just lose him. I lost me. The wife, the business owner, the woman who had it all together. Gone. Erased.

And the scariest part? I had no idea who I wanted to become next.

So I did what high-achieving women do when everything falls apart: I tried to fix it. Fast.
Certifications. Courses. Books. All the doing. All the healing.
If self-improvement was a sport, I was going for Olympic gold.

But none of it answered the real questions:
Who am I now?
Who am I becoming?

Everything changed when I stopped trying to patch myself back together, and started rebuilding the woman underneath.

I did the deep, honest work. On the patterns, the people-pleasing, the wounds, the armor I’d worn for decades. I learned how to trust myself again. How to make decisions when everything felt uncertain. How to show up as a woman I hadn’t fully met yet.

And here’s the truth that cracked me open:
You can’t step into a new identity unless you’re willing to let go of the old one.
Most people cling to who they were, not because it’s right… but because it’s familiar.

That collapse—the moment everything falls apart?
That’s not the end. That’s the doorway.

Now I help entrepreneurs, executives, and high-achievers walk through that doorway with courage instead of fear.

My work blends 25+ years in leadership, team development, identity and performance coaching, and the lived experience of rebuilding a life—and a self—that’s aligned, resilient, and powerful.

Here’s what I know:
You’re not stuck. You’re evolving.
And stepping into the next version of yourself?

That isn’t a crisis.
It’s the highest form of leadership there is.
