We live in an era with great emphasis on self-care and personal empowerment, and yet.... According to a Harris poll that was published on Time.com, from 2017 [pre-pandemic] only 33% of Americans reported they were happy. I can't even imagine what that number is now. My opinion? We spend so much of our precious time, money and energy curating and acquiring things and experiences that don't actually bring us JOY. How did I get here? After a tumultuous childhood, and a lifetime of enduring, "fine;" I decided to stop settling for what life handed me and take action to create what I wanted. So in 2018, I burned it all down and took a flying leap into my mid-life awakening. Now, five years later I am in LOVE with the life I'm creating! It's not always easy, it's not free of challenges - but it sure is amazing! Early in my personal development journey, my oldest child said to me, "Mom, I see how difficult this is for you, and I'm so sorry about that. But, you need to know how grateful I am that I get to watch and learn with you while I'm my age instead of having to learn it at your age." There's a fire in my belly to empower young adults to stop following everyone else's rules, to overcome the limiting stories and beliefs that keep them stuck in "fine" and curate the joy-filled, aligned life they desire and deserve. I believe in starting where you're at right now, developing a clear vision of what you want, and hatching a plan with small action steps (chewable bites) that create big impact. My favorite thing in the world is to share my experiences and expertise with audiences around the world so that other people can learn from my journey and theirs can be easier.
