Soul First. Strategy Second. | Akashic Life & Leadership Coach | Visionary leaders finally feel the success they’ve already built through Soul Alignment | Creator of the Akashic 5D Experience 💫

When success feels heavy, it’s not burnout → it’s misalignment.

That quiet drain on your energy? The hesitation in your decisions? The success that doesn't feel like you anymore?

That’s not fatigue. That’s your soul calling you back.

As an Akashic Life & Leadership Coach, I use the Akashic Records to uncover the energetic and karmic patterns behind frustration, indecision, and depletion, and then translate those insights into clear, practical action.

What I do:
✔️ Identify karmic patterns + hidden energy drains
✔️ Translate spiritual insight into practical action
✔️ Create decision strategies that protect your energy and scale your impact

What this work delivers
• Decisions that feel clean, not clouded.
• Progress that feels light, not forced.
• Growth without draining your vitality.
• Calm nervous systems in hard conversations.
• Purpose that fuels sustainable success.

After losing everything, from home to husband, I learned that clarity isn’t control. It’s alignment. Now I guide leaders through that same reconnection inside The Akashic Empower Hour 5D Experience💫, a focused container that brings you back to your own truth.

Results I’ve helped create
• Tripled monthly sales year over year.
• Company-wide process upgrades that stuck.
• Top 3 in sales by month two, number 1 for 10 months straight.
• Featured in Counselor Brief for ethical excellence in wellness, Aug and Sept 2025.
• Clients refer their clients because it works.

What clients say
“Truly a life-changing experience. I finally understand my direction.”
“Her calm helped me access a deeper truth I didn’t know I needed.”
“I recommend her to my clients. She’s that good.”

Purpose is not a title. It is your way of creating.

Most high achievers don’t have a purpose problem.
 
They have a mismatch problem.

Myth: “Find your purpose” means find the right job.
Truth: Your Energy Center is the operating system.
 
The job is just the container.

When the container doesn’t match the OS, you can switch titles, industries, mentors, and morning routines and still feel like nothing clicks.

That was me for years.
Productive but drained.
Successful but unfulfilled.
Performing instead of creating.

In the Akashic Records, we don’t guess your purpose.
 
We pull the blueprint your Soul has been trying to run the entire time.

Once you know your creation style, everything shifts.

Your week.
Your output.
Your decisions.
Even your relationships.

Block one 90-minute window to create in the way that feels natural to you.
Not the way you were trained.
Not the way someone else said is “productive.”
Your way.


If you don’t know your way yet, start with 🌟 The Energetic Leadership Series.
 
It helps you identify where your energy is being wasted and where your design is trying to convey its message.

A VP stopped chasing titles and everything changed.

She wasn’t confused.
She wasn’t unmotivated.
She was exhausted from building a career around proving instead of creating.

In the Akashic Records we identified her Energy Center, cleared the pattern that kept her overperforming, and rebuilt her week around how she actually creates.

Output went up.
Self doubt went down.
Her sleep finally came back because her nervous system stopped negotiating with her calendar.

Here’s the part most leaders never admit.
Proving is expensive.
Creating is exponential.

Ask yourself, “What am I doing to be seen that I could do to create?”
Then change one task.
Just one.

Your results or your resentment?

If you’re reading this, you already tried everything else.

Most leaders don’t come to me first.
 
They come to me when every strategist, mindset coach, therapist, healer, and “clarity session” failed to fix the real issue.

Not because those methods are bad. Because they’re built to solve symptoms, not the architecture underneath.

If your success looks fine but feels wrong, the problem isn’t your discipline.
 
It’s the energy driving your decisions.

You can keep optimizing the wrong operating system, but the pattern won’t change.
 
That’s why you’re here.
 
This is the point where leaders finally want truth, not tactics.

If you’re tired of running in circles, read that again.


TRY THIS: ↴ 
 
Check the last three decisions you made.
 
Did they come from pressure or power?
 
You’ll know immediately.


If you want your next move to actually stick, start with the root.

This is the work I do inside the Akashic 5D Experience 💫 for high-achieving leaders who are done repeating themselves.

Most people misunderstand their Spirit Guides.

They treat them like cosmic managers who hand out instructions, approve decisions, and keep score.
 
No wonder they feel pressured, confused, or like they’re failing some invisible test.

Here’s the truth.
 
Your Spirit Guides are not your bosses.
 
They are not in charge of your path.
They are not here to override your free will or micromanage your life.
They’re advisors.
 
Not authorities.
 
Support.
 
Not command.

When you give your Guides the role of “boss,” you stop leading your own life.
 
You wait for signs instead of making decisions.
You surrender power you were designed to use.
You mistake intuition for instruction.

And that’s when life gets muddy.
 
Not because your Guides are unclear, but because you stopped creating.

This week’s Rethinking Your Reality breaks the myth of spiritual outsourcing and explains why your Guides can only support the path you choose, not choose it for you.

Rethinking Your Reality #4 – Your spirit guides aren’t your bosses

Most people underestimate their quirks.

They treat them like personality leftovers, cute, inconvenient, or “just how I am.”

No wonder they feel disconnected, stuck, or like they’re missing something obvious in their own design.

But the truth is your quirks aren’t random.

They’re not accidents, flaws, or glitches in your personality code.

They’re assignments.
Signals.
Instructions your Soul keeps sending until you finally stop dismissing them.

When you ignore these micro-patterns, you ignore your blueprint.

You try to “fix” traits that were never mistakes.
You water yourself down in rooms that needed your contrast.
You call things weaknesses that were actually directions.

And that’s where life starts to feel off.

Not because you’re broken, but because you stopped listening to what makes you you.

This week’s Rethinking Your Reality #5 — “Your Quirks Aren’t Random, They’re Assignments”unpacks why your quirks are the most direct clues to your Soul’s design… and how to finally start using them.

Rethinking Your Reality #5 — Your Quirks Aren’t Random, They’re Assignments

You are not burned out from strategy.
 
You are drained by patterns.

Most high achievers don’t fail because their plan is bad.
 
They fail because their energy is leaking in places they refuse to look.

Myth: “I just need a better plan.”
Truth: A plan can’t run well on a system that loses power every time you make a familiar but costly choice.

In the Akashic Records, we identify the pattern behind the leak so the plan finally performs the way it was supposed to all along.

Every leak taxes focus, speed, and revenue.
 
Seal one, and suddenly your strategy looks smarter.
 
Nothing mystical about it.
 
Just physics and Truth.

Try this today: ↴
 
Name one repeating choice that drains you.
Replace it once.
Not forever.
Just today.


 
If you want the blueprint behind the pattern, book The Akashic 5D Experience💫.

If you keep this pattern for one more month, what target slips first?

And what leak will you seal before the end of today?

Most people don’t have a boundary problem.
 
They have a courage problem.

They whisper limits and hope no one notices.
They say yes and pray it won’t drain them.
They avoid conflict and wonder why they feel exhausted.

Here’s the truth high achievers hate admitting.
 
A boundary you don’t enforce is not a boundary. 
It’s a wish.
And wishes don’t protect your energy.
 
Only decisions do.

This is the part I had to learn the hard way.
 
The years I burned out were not because my calendar was full.
 
It was because I kept giving people access to a version of me I had already outgrown.

Try this today: ↴
Say one clean sentence.
“I am not available for that. Here is what I can do.”
Then walk away.
 
No apology.
No over-explaining.
No spiritual excuse.

Boundaries protect the operating system you create from.
 
And your soul can’t lead if you keep letting everyone else drive.

I also recruited, hired, and onboarded new employees. I focused on furthering initiatives around Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, particularly in the hiring, recruiting, and onboarding process.

Communications & Talent Acquisition Manager

I designed presentations to share critical findings with clients, focusing on simplicity and client engagement. I also helped package our data into consumable content such as charts, graphs, etc.

University of Kansas

As the first communications person for the IT Department, I created and oversaw all communication efforts, including communications planning, crisis communications, and copywriting. I developed internal communication strategies and materials to support new launches, programs, and processes. 

I distilled complex, technical information into simple, digestible, and actional messages for diverse internal audiences, including students, faculty, and staff.  I also built relationships with other departments and team members to ensure seamless launches of new technologies and programs.

In our current remote/hybrid work environment, engaging and communicating with employees has never been more challenging – or essential. Creating an environment for employees to be the best versions of themselves is not only a cultural win – it’s also a business win.

A Gallup "State of the Workplace" report found that when employees are engaged at work, profitability increases by 21%. Yet, this same report shared that 65% of employees aren’t engaged at work.

We spend a lot of time talking “at” people – not necessarily “to” them. My goal isn’t just to communicate a message. My goal is to ensure those messages are delivered and digested by the audience. It’s also my responsibility to provide executive guidance and direction when messages aren’t the right voice and fit for the audience.

With a background in media relations, editorial content creation, internal communications and employee relations, I bring a range of creative skills and experience to any position. Communicating with employees and partners can be a company's greatest strength rather than its biggest weakness.

I saw this funny question on Reddit: What other names do you call your cat? Like, the unhinged ones.

The responses did not disappoint:

My cat is named Maggie. I call her Magaluf, Magatha Christie, Marge and in Charge, Maggie Smalls, Beef Maggington, Maggington Hotel and Spa…

The cat is named Jaffa, but the alternative names are: Jafalfa, Jafalafagus, Jalfrezi.

My cat’s name is Oliver. He answers to Stinky, Sir-Sheds-A-Lot, and The Tiny Mayor of Chaos.

Cat Benatar – goes by Cat for short. The other is called “Karen from Accounting.” She goes by Kare-bear or Grumpy Face.

Mira goes by Calicofornia Miracle, Miracalicofornia, String Cheese, Linguine String Cheesey, and Terrorfang.

I was reading a book on Sunday, and it was driving me bonkers. The characters struggled to communicate effectively with one another, and tragic events continued to occur due to miscommunications. 

One of my favorite parts of Brené Brown’s “Dare to Lead” book is her section about “painting done.” Often, we aren’t clear or thorough when assigning a task or asking someone for help. We haven’t painted what done looks like. 

As a result, the deliverable isn’t what was expected, and the team is frustrated because they thought they did what was asked of them. It’s an obvious case of miscommunication.  

As a parent, I see this happen all the time. I ask my son to do something, but I mistakenly leave out important parts. So, of course, what he brings me is not what I was expecting. 

Many of our miscommunications in day-to-day life can be avoided if we take the time to clearly explain what we want and allow the other person to ask questions. There is so much value in getting on the same page! 

Have you done this before? Failed to give detailed directions for what you want done?

Content creator Samuel Weidenhofer had a sobering conversation with 88-year-old Army Veteran Ed Bambas at a Detroit grocery store. Ed works eight-hour days, five days a week. He had a pension when he retired from General Motors in the late 90s, but when GM filed for bankruptcy, Ed opted to take a lump sum. That amount was quickly eaten up when Ed's wife got sick. 

Sadly, Ed's wife passed away, and he had significant medical debt from his wife’s illness. Not only had he lost her, but he had staggering bills. 

After meeting Ed, Samuel set up a GoFundMe, and it went viral. As of now, $1.8 million has been raised for Ed. There are thousands of comments and well-wishes from strangers, veterans, and people from all over the world. 

The money is being placed in a trust for Ed; he can finally retire. 

While I have many opinions (and anger) about medical insurance in the US, I want to focus on the kindness of others. It may not seem like it, but most people are kind and generous. When Ed was presented with this incredible gift, he couldn’t stop his tears. He was overwhelmed by the kindness of others. 

May we all find ways to help and support those in our community. The world is filled with wonderful people. Wishing Ed nothing but good health and comfort.

If you hop on TikTok right now, you will see lovely videos of people shopping for Angel Tree recipients. Angel Tree recipients create Christmas wish lists that are written on tags. Then, people select a tag and shop for the items. 

TikTok user @laurel_lyn was talking about the videos with her daughter, who wanted to get an Angel Tree tag. @Laurel_lyn shared that she wanted to make sure they had the money to do it right! For many, these were the only gifts they’d receive during the holidays. 

Hours later, the daughter returned with $230. She had been saving up to buy a guitar, but she wanted instead to use the money for an Angel Tree recipient. 💛

A follow-up video was posted, and the creator shared that she had enough money in her budget to do an Angel Tree gift (and her daughter’s guitar money was not touched)! But, people in the comments wanted to help, and donations poured in. So, this woman and her daughter were able to adopt a few more individuals on the Angel Tree! 

💛💛💛

I recently had a friend say she thought the world was becoming more cruel. But, I disagree. I think the world is still filled with generous, kind people like this thoughtful girl. 

May we all follow her lead and generously spread kindness where we can. #KindnessMatters

Today is one of my favorite days of the year – Giving Tuesday. Many people generously donate time, money, or other resources to help nonprofits. 

This past weekend, a friend and I decided to forgo exchanging Christmas gifts and instead created birthday kits for the local food bank. We bought cake mixes, frosting, pans, soda/pop, balloons, birthday plates, and candles, grouping them together in a kit. We set up an assembly line, and our kids put the kits together in record time! 

(There is a fabulous nonprofit called The Birthday Cake Project that was founded by twin sisters who believed every child should have a birthday cake. The organization’s site will give you instructions and information if you want to do this!)

There are lots of ways we can give back to our communities. While financial donations are always welcome, volunteers are needed, too. And, people who spread awareness. As we celebrate Giving Tuesday, I encourage you to find a small way you can give back if you are so inclined.

Where did the phrase “pass with flying colors” come from?

𝘏𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘧𝘭𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘴!

In the 1600s, boats flew a variety of flags when sailing. The flags were referred to as “colors.” When a ship was defeated at sea, it would be forced to take down its colors. So, if a ship pulled into port with flying colors, it probably experienced a great success at sea!

If you like topics like this, I invite you to check out my newsletter, Drama Dots! It’s full of quirky grammar tips, communication advice, and stories to make you laugh/cry! I’m linking to the latest issue in the comments!

Do you ever use the phrase “pass with flying colors”?

#CommunicationTips

I have several sticky notes taped on the wall by my computer. This is one of my favorites:

Be brief.
Be brilliant.
Be gone.

We can all benefit from this helpful reminder. Whether you are writing an email or giving a presentation, less is more. 

Do you have any quotes or sayings you frequently look at? 

#CommunicationTips

My best friend asked for a pair of hand-knit socks for Christmas. I’ve made her a pair before, but that was 11+ years ago! I stopped knitting when my son was young, and it seemed impossible to pick it back up.

Fast forward to this summer. I signed up for a class at our local yarn store because I needed a refresher. I did not realize how hard it would be to relearn what I used to know! And, there was a new, easier(?) method we were using.  

I STRUGGLED at the beginning. Three trips to the yarn store. Two different occasions of ripping them out. One unfortunate incident with the cats and the ball of yarn. Sigh. I eventually got the hang of it, and last night I stopped with just a few rows left to knit on the second sock. 🩷

It was a great reminder that there is always a new way to do a task. When I was first starting my career, I was aggressively trying to master everything. Then, I’d know how to do it all, right? 😂 Wrong.

In Adam Grant’s book, “Think Again,” he talks about the value in learning new ways to do things – and having the openness to evolve. 

“We laugh at people who still use Windows 95, yet we still cling to opinions that we formed in 1995.” – Adam Grant, author of “Think Again” 

I had no idea that trying to learn how to knit a pair of socks – again – would be such an aha moment for me. Growth involves discomfort, yet it also offers the opportunity to learn something new! (Karen in July did not want to learn this lesson, but Karen in December is grateful for the growth!) 

What’s something you had to relearn how to do? Did you change how you did it? 

#Growth #CommunicationTips
Image of almost finished sock. Not sure about the pink toe, but it's too late to fix it now! 😂

It's Friday! We made it! Wishing everyone a relaxing, calm weekend! Here are some things that made me laugh this week…
