Work With Me

Change the way you think, live, and lead.

Most people know me by my successes. They know me as someone who:

  • is writing a book that is disrupting a $57B self-help industry. I say the quiet parts out loud and speak truth to power by sharing my own stories. I turn wounds into wisdom, remind you that you’re not alone, and that it’s not (all) your fault.

  • launched and scaled two businesses from scratch. I am an entrepreneur through-and-through. I see opportunities and possibility everywhere. My businesses live at the intersection of individual and collective change for the sake of a more beautiful, peaceful, and just world.

  • has had a prestigious adjunct faculty role, and taught hundreds of teachers to center student agency over teacher ego.

  • spent a decade in education, making sure students in historically oppressed and systemically under-resourced communities had the opportunities they deserved to learn and thrive. As the Director of Academics at an arts-based charter school, I worked to make sure teachers were supported in creating a learning experience that was equally as beautiful as our arts program.

  • lives life on my own terms, challenging what society tells me I should do and who I should be in favor of what’s right for me.

What most people don’t know about me is that deep down, I don’t believe I’m good enough and I’m afraid I never will be.  I don’t know if the life I’m living is the right one. Is this as true and beautiful as it gets?

I help people tackle these fears head-on.

Together, we will create for you an unshakable sense of personal belonging and self-trust.

We’ll answer the question, “How do I really want to live my life?”

I do that in a few different ways:

  • I have a unique ability to see what could be true for you and will never let you unsee the possibilities that lay before you. I will champion the fuck out of you and will believe in you until you do.

  • I will help you dream bigger than you’ve ever dreamed, and then get big shit done real fast.  I’m a master of making complex things tremendously simple, and teach you how to master maximizing your resources and energy to make it happen.

  • I help people see connections between seemingly unrelated things and create magic by bringing those ideas to life. We will explore and experiment and play - your growth will never be more fun.

The journey will be fun, and playful, but not always easy.

  • As we learn to champion ourselves, we feel the very real constriction of being around people who won’t do the same. Dissonance arises. It’s uncomfortable. We lose people who won’t let their conception of who we are evolve. We find new people who support us along the way.

  • Big change can be uncomfortable. We feel untethered in the space between “how it’s been” and “how it can be,” and we sometimes feel downright crazy. It requires faith in ourselves and the Universe. A trust that we’re on the right path.

  • Embracing emergence rather than forcing our plans takes practice. Allowing things to be easy and playful goes against everything we’ve learned about independence, self-reliance, hard work and success. Letting ourselves enjoy the process is sometimes the hardest part.

If you’re ready to create a life on your own terms, I can help you do that.

It’s not going to be an easy journey, but you’re going to have an ally and accomplice at your side. 

You will have someone who will help you do this - to affirm you and be with you as you step into deep murky territory.

It’s not for the faint of heart. 

But if you’re ready, I’m here for you.

Let’s play.
