It’s not that I didn’t love my family. I did, and I do, more than I can convey. But the truth was, my daughters were grown and no longer needed me in the same way. My job felt exhausting and disconnected from anything I truly cared about. My relationship had quietly become more of a co-parenting partnership than a marriage. And deep down, I felt hollow.

And yet—something in me knew: if I ran, I’d just be packing all of that pain and confusion into my suitcase. So instead, I made a choice. I stayed. I leaned in. And I got honest—with myself.

Because here’s the truth: I was the common denominator in my own unhappiness.

I grew up in a home marked by alcoholism and divorce, and I’d spent much of my adult life trying to avoid repeating those patterns. I believed that if I could be the perfect mother, wife, friend, and employee, I’d finally feel safe, loved, and whole. But as the roles I’d built my identity around began to fall away, I was left with a haunting realization: I had no idea who I really was.

That realization marked the beginning of my return to self.

This is when I found coaching. And through that work, I uncovered a life-changing truth: in trying so hard to meet everyone else’s needs and expectations, I had completely abandoned my own. I had silenced my voice, dismissed my desires, and disconnected from my purpose. What began as a breakdown turned out to be a breakthrough. It was an invitation to stop living on autopilot and begin creating a life that felt real—a life that felt like mine as I was entering the next chapter in my life.

As I released the identities and expectations that had once defined me, something inside began to shift. Gentle nudges and inner whispers pointed me toward a new path—one that asked me to trust myself again.

That path led me to enroll in a coach training program, where everything began to click. I combined the deep inner work I had done with powerful tools and techniques, and in the process, I reconnected with the woman I had always been beneath the surface.

And I knew: this was the work I was meant to share. In doing so, I uncovered a sense of purpose that feels grounded, embodied, and soul-led.

Today, I live with clarity, intention, and a deeper sense of alignment. I’ve stepped into a more authentic way of thinking, living, and being—and now, it’s my honor to walk alongside you as you come home to yourself, too.
