Ever have that ache to escape the "hustle"?  Sometimes we think we are escaping the outside pressures when really we have to start inside.

My biggest blunder?

Believing entrepreneurship would automatically solve my burnout problem was my greatest business misstep.

After 21 years in corporate America, I jumped ship thinking "working for myself" would create better balance and "Finally, freedom from the hustle"! But guess what?.... I simply carried my workaholic tendencies into my consulting business, then into my design business. Different business card, same exhausting patterns. My wake-up call came in November 2020 with three devastating words:

"You have cancer." 

For the first time in my adult life, I couldn't outrun, outwork or out-hustle my circumstances. In that forced stillness, I discovered something profound—I had no idea who I was without what I call my old 4Ps: Perfecting, Performing, Pleasing, and Proving.

The biggest lesson?

Changing your business model doesn't fix burnout – changing your relationship with yourself does.

This revelation became my heart’s work and the foundation of Tools for LYFE™ — where we help individuals, entrepreneurs, and organizations strip away what’s not theirs, and bring forward what is.

In those early months of healing, when my world was full of unknowns, I began creating simple tools just to help myself navigate each day — to stay present, to process what I was feeling, and to find clarity amidst the noise. I designed visual roadmaps so I could see my progress and stay focused on what life could look and feel like on the other side. I began tracking symptoms and changes, watching for patterns that could help me listen to my body and guide my next steps. What started as a personal lifeline became a practice… and then a passion.

Now, I help others do the same. Through thoughtfully designed tools, we help surface what is most true and aligned — so you can live it, express it, and lead from it. Whether you’re deepening your personal practice, elevating your business, or shaping culture within your organization, these tools foster deeper connection, carry meaning, and extend your authentic impact far beyond the moment of engagement.

That’s why I get passionate about creating tools for your inner journey right alongside custom-designed materials for your business and your work in the world. When these layers integrate — YOU, your business, your organization — something transformative happens. Your work becomes an authentic extension of who you are, not just what you do. And you begin to show up with more clarity, alignment, and heart — in every space you touch.

Sometimes the biggest business blunder is thinking success comes from working harder, when it actually comes from working healthier — and more authentically as yourself.

How are you changing your relationship with yourself — and the way you show up in your work and the world?

What if the right tools could help you surface what’s most true — and express it with greater clarity, alignment, and ease?

Whether you’re seeking to quiet your inner critic, lead your business from a more authentic place, or create deeper connection within your organization — our Tools for LYFE™ are here to support you.

These aren’t just resources. They’re invitations to transform not only what you do, but how you feel and lead while doing it.
