A little bit about me
The Early Thread
I’ve spent most of my life learning how to hold complexity without losing myself in it.
I was the kind of child who saw too much, felt too deeply, and asked too many questions. Sensitive, intuitive, attuned to moods, to energy, to what wasn’t being said.
The adults around me were unpredictable, inconsistent and often lost inside their own contradictions. I saw how they said one thing and felt another.
I learned early that clarity wasn’t something the world would hand me. I had to build it myself. That instinct to bring understanding to what felt messy became the quiet thread through everything I’ve done since.
Somewhere along the way, I decided that if I could understand enough, plan enough, fix enough, maybe then I would belong.
That drive turned into a career. I became the person who could walk into chaos and build order. I could steady a team, shape a system, and lead people through growth that felt impossible. I worked in fast-growing businesses, built high-performing teams, and led transformations that tested every part of me. I learned to listen deeply for the real problem beneath the noise.
“Clarity wasn’t something the world would hand me. I had to build it myself.”
The Turning Point
But success has a cost when you carry it all.
Behind the calm, accomplished exterior, I was running on empty.
I thought strength meant control. Then I learned it was really about capacity. The ability to hold both the vision and vulnerability.
Then I hired my first coach, who asked questions I didn’t want to answer.
I learned how much of my strength was armour, and how much of my leadership was built on fear of being misunderstood.
That season cracked me open.
I began to rebuild myself, piece by piece, from the inside out. It wasn’t pretty. It was necessary.
Motherhood made those lessons even more real. It confronted the illusion of balance and replaced it with something far truer: presence, patience, and perspective. It taught me that leadership and love are built from the same material. Care. Courage. Commitment.
This Chapter
Since then, I’ve worked alongside founders, executives, and teams navigating their own seasons of growth and change. I’ve coached them, guided them, and sat with them in the discomfort that comes from knowing something in you has to change.
Somewhere in that mix of growth, burnout, and remembering myself again, I found a new way to lead. One that included all of me.
The strategist. The mother. The creator. The seeker. The lover of beauty and conversation.
I still help leaders and teams build systems, align vision, and navigate growth. But this next chapter is bigger than that.
I’m creating spaces through conversation, coaching, and events — and soon, a podcast — where ambition meets depth and where people can explore what it means to grow without hardening.
I don’t see leadership as a role anymore. I see it as energy, a way of being.
I’m here to bring clarity to the noise, softness to the hustle, and momentum to what’s next.
“Where ambition meets depth.”
Because life, like leadership, isn’t about having all the answers.
It’s about having the courage to stand in the truth of where you are, and move forward from there.
Maybe that’s the point.
To stop waiting until it all makes sense and start living it as it is.
To know that confusion isn’t the enemy. It’s an invitation.
To begin again, as many times as it takes.
This chapter isn’t about reinvention. It’s about returning to what was always true.
That’s what I help people do.
In their businesses.
And in their lives.
