✨ Your voice could shape my next book.


Reader,

I’m writing a new book. It’s bold, personal, and something I’ve never done before.

The core of it?

How fear isn’t a sign to stop. It’s proof that you’re growing and it's time to level up.

If you've been following along, you know that I've been chatting about book # 2 for awhile, but something just wasn't right. I knew the topic I selected could help professionals, but it didn't get to the root of what I do with my clients every single day. After coaching hundreds of clients, the root of what I do for professionals is helping them build confidence, be courageous, and not allow fear to hold them back. If you don't have this as your foundation, you can't negotiate a higher salary, launch a side hustle or business, start public speaking, or reach so many other goals that may have been on your heart for YEARS!

I don’t want to write this book alone -- I need to hear from you.

That’s why I created a short, powerful survey.

I want to know how fear shows up in your body, your choices, your leadership, and your relationships. I want to hear what you’ve been taught about fear—and what it’s cost you.


Your insights could shape this book in a powerful way.

Thank you in advance for being part of something sacred.


Let’s transform fear into fuel.

Until next time,

PS: Still reading? At the end of the survey, I ask if you'd be open to speaking with me about your responses directly because I'll be selecting a segment of the group to participate in 1:1 and group coaching sessions as I start developing the frameworks and exercises for the book. If you want first dibs -- make sure you complete the survey.

Hi Reader, I recently shared a few of my favorite memoirs that I loved listening to. But this time? I’m back with a different kind of list—18 books that’ll get you together. You know those books that make you pause mid-sentence, sit up a little straighter, and say, “Whew, I needed to hear that”? The ones that light a fire under you and make you want to show up differently—not tomorrow, but right now? That’s what this list is about. Because here’s the truth: sometimes we need the inspiration...

Hi Reader, There’s something special about this time of year. The holiday season is perfect for slowing down, cozying up, and catching up on all the reading (or listening!) you’ve been meaning to do. And if you’re anything like me, there’s nothing better than a good memoir—especially one read by the author. It’s like sitting across from them, tea in hand, having a real conversation about their life. The way they tell their story hits differently—like they’re letting you into a part of their...
