About Me:
After many sleepless nights, frustration, and deep soul searching, I realized my corporate career path no longer embodied who I REALLY was. And, it was scary to think about leaving the “safety” of a job I knew, and could do in my sleep. When I finally left, it felt like a trusted companion had taken my hand; it was comforting, and certain.
Along the way, my path was anything but linear. I kept my options open trying all the things to survive. It wasn’t easy at first. Thankfully, I learned what I didn’t want to do, and just as importantly, what I wanted to do. That transitional time helped me learn to get comfortable with the discomfort. Discomfort was — and is always — worth it, especially if your actions are moving you toward your ultimate goal.
In 2009, I started volunteering for a women’s non-profit; in late 2019 they asked me to serve as Mentor Coordinator. During my 1:1 conversations, I discovered women were working hard to overcome their fears so they could make bold change in their lives. I want to help more women like them.
I understand what it’s like to feel:
Confusion as you struggle with disappointing others, or making them uncomfortable
Frustration about not knowing what to do next
Uncertainty because you don't know how it will turn out
A knowing that’s burning inside that deserves to have a voice
I’ve made many transitions in my career and have learned what works, what doesn’t, the feelings that may come up, and how to navigate those feelings. I’ve also learned brave, bold action originates in the discomfort.
