I was burned out living the "corporate America" life (maybe it's agency life for you). See, I spent the first 15+ years of my professional career using my MBA in Human Resources leadership. I worked with everyone from executives to frontline managers AND employees to create plans & identify actionable steps to achieve goals. I created ways to identify what was "working" and what "wasn't," then facilitated the necessary change to get growing again. But it wasn't working for ME. I was single (read: felt alone), overwhelmed and telling myself I could never make *THIS* kind of change "right now."

⏩ in 2010, after the loss of my dad, I was inspired to go back to school and do what I always dreamed of - counsel people in the context of their whole life not just their career life. BUT it took a LOT of mindset work to "take the leap" and I DID IT!

As I started my private practice (not even fully licensed yet), I discovered my affinity for growing a private practice & my mindset shifted to entrepreneurialism (I guess that MBA and biz experience came in handy)!!  Colleagues kept asking me: "how are you filling your schedule with your dream clients so fast?" And "how are you making your private practice thrive WHILE still having a life!?" I knew then I HAD to share my unique perspective and skill-combo (that biz-building-stuff grad school left out) with YOU!
