A bit about my life:
I grew up in the Midwest, loved to read, ride my bike, and do any and every art or craft project. I loved spending time with my grandma (and maybe I had slight ulterior motives for the treats in her cabinets).
I had to grow up fast. My mom got sick when I was 12, died when I was 16, and then I lost my dad at 22, and my grandma at 26. I learned early about loss and it shaped me.
I had my first job at 9 years old (a paper route), was a prolific Girl Scout cookie seller (one year I sold 3,000 boxes). I spent 20+ years in corporate America (a publishing company and the largest athletic and sportswear company). I created a handbag company, published a blog, and have had so many interesting and challenging life experience (cue sexual abuse and crazy health issues).
It has shaped me into a determined, sassy, fierce, loud, energetic woman with very thick skin.
I was also Type A. Always going, always doing, always trying to be the best. I worked long hours, tried hard, and controlled all the things. I pushed my body hard, made others happy and tried to check all the boxes. I sprinted, yet it was a marathon. And I crashed. My health tanked. I did all this because I thought it would keep me safe from my past and all the stories I was told over the years of what success could and should look like.
I’m not that person anymore – that life no longer fits me. I was filling a void. One where I no longer was listening to my heart. I left my corporate job, moved across the country with my family to a new city and state after 20 years in the Pacific Northwest, and began to design my life on my terms.
It was not easy, but I relearned how to:
Breathe. Slow down. Do things for me. Listen to my body. Design a life for ME.
Not for parents that will never see my success. For this badass woman who deserves it all and then some.
You deserve to live the life you have always wanted — on your terms.
A different kind of more.
