RULE BREAKER | NORM LIBERATOR | SELF COMPASSION IGNITER
Fire.
Fire warms, transforms, terrifies, and feeds. On one hand, it reflects the warmth I bring to my clients and those I interact with—a magnetic campfire, a grounding presence that feels cozy, supportive, loving, and inviting.
On the other hand, I have been called edgy, fierce, and a straight shooter. I speak hard truths that can feel clarifying and a little bracing. However, my realness makes me trustworthy, and I am not attached to being right, only naming what I see with curiosity, not insistence. I can be fierce and fiery, but it is in service to your growth and higher self, and it is part of why successful people hire me.
I don’t think there are any deep, dark secrets that I haven’t heard someone share. Shame cannot live in the light of the fire.
Fire has the power to strip away the haze that often clouds how we see ourselves and the world, burning it to the ground to create space for rebirth and transformation.
This allows you to connect with the truest version of yourself in a way that feels both scary and necessary—raw and authentic.
So, what ignited this fire? At first, it was necessity. I was born a highly sensitive, offbeat, neurodivergent little girl; my father was an Army General, and I had six older brothers. Surrounded by very smart men in an environment rife with Lord of the Flies-style organizational dynamics, I became fierce by necessity.
At an early age, I developed a thick skin and an innate desire to fight for what’s right for those who don’t have the power to do so.
Raised to be a Tradwife, I rebelled and built a career, became a DINK, got divorced, became my own boss, moved across the country, moved into an ashram. I was true to my values and could not walk the path that had been prescribed for me. It is not easy to blaze a new trail, but I am grateful that I had to find my own way.
People come to me because they know I’m going to tell them fierce truths, with gentleness, playfulness, and love. You are bigger and brighter than you have imagined yourself to be.
In 2008, I stuck a Post-it on my computer:
“I will live a life of fun, freedom, and adventure.”
Life is unfolding in front of me, and what I can change is how I relate to it. I can honestly say that I am grateful for every healthy day I have on this crazy, beautiful planet.
Every day, I consciously carve out time to connect with the peace and divinity that I am and that you are.
From this place, I can hold space for transformation in my clients, helping them feel at home with their truest selves.
