A Speaker and Author

Devoted to evolving the inner systems that shape our human experience by cultivating awareness, meaningful expression, and deep fulfillment. Through the joy of what I share, it ensures these systems are not just in alignment, but alive with truth, connection, creativity, wonder, and the courage to fully live.

The early years

I was born and raised, on and off, in Laramie, Wyoming—a place where the landscape stretched wide, but the patterns felt painfully small. I was the awkward, too-tall girl, 5’11” by age 12, trying to shrink into a world that didn’t know what to do with my presence. We lived in a small single-wide trailer, surrounded by generations repeating the same story...growing up only to move next door. I felt a overwhelming desparation to not repeat this and refused to follow that path.

My parents divorced and I later moved out of state to live with my mom, who struggled with mental illness. Life with her was chaotic, exciting, and at times, unsafe. By the time I was a teenager, survival had become a daily negotiation. At 16, I made the hardest and most liberating choice of my life—I left. I lived out of the back of my boyfriend’s truck. I didn’t finish high school. I didn’t go to college. But I did learn how to be resilient, and that became my foundation for everything I would one day build.

I struggled to find my way on the traditional path, it wasn’t for me

Thankfully, my time without shelter was brief. With sheer will on my part and the assistance of others, I found a to live. I threw myself into the world, determined to find my way, cycling through roles across seven distinct industries, each one shaping me in ways I couldn’t yet understand. At the time, moving through all of these positions and fields, there appeared to be no clear path, just a string of disconnected choices. But in hindsight, every single role was a necessary thread. I wasn’t lost; I was being positioned for the bigger picture, for what was to come.

And by 22, without a high school diploma, without a tech team, without software systems, or AI, I began building what would become a multi-million dollar eCommerce company. I was the system: brilliant, intuitive, responsive and relentless.

The business took off achieving $5 million in under two short years. I grew fast as well and was fueled by ambition and momentum. I adopted a “work hard, play hard” mentality that kept me moving at a relentless pace. For a while, it worked. I was achieving more than I’d ever imagined, climbing ladders I had built from scratch, and staying one step ahead of the next goal. But somewhere along the way, that pace stopped feeling like power and started feeling like pressure.

I became overwhelmed, stretched impossibly thin, gripping tightly to every detail as if my success depended on holding it all together. And maybe, in some ways, it did. I had built a company with a solid foundation, but what I built for myself was a fragile house of cards. One strong wind, and it would all collapse.

Eventually, it did. After another decade of growth, I was forced out of the very company I co-founded. Soon after, my partner of 11 years passed away away without warning. In less than two short years, I lost everything everything I had let defined me; my identity, my relationship, my security, and my illusion of control.

What followed was the most painful, sacred reckoning of my life. I finally saw how much of my worth had been outsourced to things I could lose. I had been chasing success, thinking it would deliver fulfillment. It didn’t. And when it was all stripped away, what remained was exhaustion… and a quiet , aching awareness that life wasn’t meant to feel this hard.

That was the turning point. There was nothing left to prove, nothing left to push. And so, I began listening. Not to the world’s demands, but to the deeper truth within me. And from that stillness, a new way of living, of being, was born.

Awareness Can’t Be Taught — It’s Refined

I’ve had a long, complicated love/hate affair with personal development, after the experience of that personal reckoning, I read the books, chased the breakthroughs, attended the retreats, endless hours of watching the videos. And for a time, it felt like progress, like purpose. But eventually, I hit a wall that no vision board or productivity hack could fix. I realized I was still performing, just on a more “enlightened” stage.

What I truly craved wasn’t more development. It was depth. Awareness. Not the kind handed to you through a TED Talk or morning ritual checklist, but the kind that rises from within, slow and wild and utterly your own. Awareness can’t be imparted. It must be developed. Grown in the quiet. Forged in friction. Honored in your body before it becomes wisdom in your life.

Now, I no longer lead people toward who they think they should become, I walk with them as they remember what’s always been true. My devotion isn’t to self-improvement. It’s to self-revelation. The quiet, radical return to presence. And if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s this: your awareness is your power source. Once it’s turned on, no one can take it from you.

From Inner Work to Global Change

I’ve always felt the ache of disconnection, not just in people, but in the systems that shape us. From education to leadership, relationships to economies, we’ve been conditioned to fragment. To chase significance through separation and competition.

But I believe something radically different is possible.

When an individual returns to their full expression and authenticity, when they remember who they are beneath the noise, the performative masks, and the inherited scripts...something sacred happens. The need to dominate dissolves. The fear of not-enoughness softens. And in its place, a deeper intelligence awakens, one that knows we belong to each other.

This is the revolution I’m here for.

Because when enough people come home to themselves, the collective naturally reorganizes. Systems begin to serve life rather than extract from it. Communities become expressions of care, not control. Unity is not a utopian dream, it is the inevitable outcome of inner coherence.

Bridging humanity to the truth of who they are starts with the courageous choice to be fully human. Fully here. Fully you.

This is the work. This is the way. And this is what I’m walking, every single day.

Designing the Future Through Deepened Awareness

I’ve spent my life in the tension between what is and what could be.

I’ve see firsthand how disconnected systems; of education, leadership, business, and belief are quietly draining our humanity. We’ve built entire structures optimized for performance, productivity, and profit, while neglecting the very soul of what makes us human: connection, creativity, wonder, and the courage to evolve.

And yet... I don’t believe we’re doomed. I believe we’re standing at a pivotal threshold.

On one side: burnout, disconnection, ecological collapse, political theatre masquerading as leadership, and children who are taught to sit still and silence their curiosity. Adults too, clocking into lives that don’t light them up, bound to systems that keep them performing instead of becoming. Even as AI accelerates and reshapes every industry, we’re still operating on operating systems designed for a different world.

But what if this unraveling is actually the invitation?

What if we’re not meant to return to business as usual, but to build something entirely different?

I believe we’re being asked, urgently and collectively, to rethink what it means to have experiential knowing, to be fullfilled, to be sovereign. Not in the old paradigm of authority or status, but in the emergent sense of being deeply rooted in one’s own truth, connected to ourselves and others, and ultimately in service to something grander.

True development of knowledge isn’t memorizing facts or training people to be more efficient cogs in a broken machine. It’s the sacred art of awakening human potential, of restoring wonder, agency, discernment, and embodied wisdom. In a world where AI will soon outpace our intellect, what will matter most is not what we know...but how we live, how we love, and who we choose to be. Because the future is coming fast. And in that future, it’s not just about what we build. It’s about who we become while we’re building it.

I believe the most vital work of the next decade will be in reclaiming our humanity. Not as an afterthought, but as the foundation.

Development of awareness isn’t just personal growth, it’s a revolution. It’s not limited to tools or techniques; it weaves through every layer of life; from corporate culture to community care, from parenting to politics, from the digital world to the depths of our inner landscape.

The world doesn’t need smarter people. It needs more courageous ones. More embodied ones. People who are clear, connected, and catalyzed.

This is the work I’m committed to.

I’m not just here to guide...I’m here to co-create a world where growth is not a privilege but a way of life. Where inner work isn’t something we squeeze into weekends, but a daily devotion. Where systems evolve in harmony with our souls, not in opposition to them.

To me it’s about restoring coherence between our deepest values and the structures we live inside of. Because without that, no amount of innovation will save us. This isn’t just a mission. It’s a remembering. Of what we are capable of. Of what we’ve forgotten. Of what we must now build, together.

We came here as masters to experience and remember our mastery.

I invite you to join me on this mission!
