I'm so happy you're here.
Fortunately (and unfortunately!) I know a thing or two about being miserable at work and asking, "Is this what I worked so hard for?!"
I also know a thing or two about realizing that what you got your degree in is NOT what you want to be doing in your career.
In 5 years, I worked at 3 companies and had 4 jobs. Needless to say, I had to become expert at reinventing and selling myself.
Me and my team want to help you do the same.
Here's the thing though: You have to be willing to invest in yourself.
You've unfortunately been fed the lie that the only way to invest in your career is through formal education. Or that you should just magically "know" how to get a job.
Friends, hear me when I say that the DIY approach will only get you so far.
We have seen that the most successful women invest in themselves....specifically with personal and professional development and coaching.
Are you ready to be a successful woman?
tell me more...

When a client has a breakthrough - it could be an "ah-ha" realization about what they want in their career, to gaining confidence, to landing a big interview, or getting a job offer!
Sounds cheesy, but nothing makes me happier than seeing my clients step into their power and bring their dreams to life!
Helping people. (She's a true Enneagram 2!). It's true of my work life and passion side projects!! I have a blog for moms who want to be WFH moms and a blog to share my story of hope with people who are hurting and grieving.
