I thought success meant working harder. Until I realized I was building a life I didn’t even want.
For years, I held a high-level role in a multi-billion-dollar company. I led teams, built systems, and made things run smoother and smarter. I loved the pay. The benefits. The stock options. Even the three weeks of vacation felt like a perk, until it wasn't. But no matter how much I achieved, it wasn’t enough.
Something felt off... like my life was split down the middle.
By day, I was chasing business goals. By night and on weekends, I volunteered at church, searching for something that felt like purpose.
I kept wondering, “Is this really it?”
To fill the gap, I poured more effort into both sides —work and service —but it only led to overwhelm. I was efficient on the outside, but exhausted on the inside. Every time I thought I had space, there was another meeting. Another request. Another thing to juggle.
And while I dreamed of starting my own business, I wasn’t sure what it would be or how to get there, just that I couldn't keep doing what I was doing.
I just knew I wanted to live differently... with intention, alignment, and clarity.
But I didn’t know what that looked like…Then I picked up a book...
Living the Life You Were Meant to Live. And not long after, I sat down with my best friend over coffee. That’s when everything shifted…
She wasn't asking for help... just sharing what was really going on behind the scenes in her business. Team struggles. Chaos. Financial confusion.
And I realized: This is the work I know how to do.
And more importantly: This is the work I want to do, and this is where I can make a difference.
I started helping her behind the scenes, using the same strategy, structure, and financial clarity I'd used in corporate, but with a whole new intention. Not to scale for scale’s sake, but to create freedom, clarity, and space to lead with peace.
From there, it grew. One client became two. And I knew: this is it. This is the life I want to lead... and help others build too.
Now, I partner with founders like you... smart, successful, and tired of being the glue.
You built something real. But it’s running you into the ground.
Together, we create financial confidence, install structure that fits you, and create breathing room to think again, so you can lead with vision, not burnout.
I help you build a business that runs, so you can finally get back to building the future.
I believe living differently starts with leading differently. You don’t need more hustle... you need a better way.
It's about what it gives back...
To your time, your purpose, your life.
If you're ready for structure that brings peace, not pressure, you're in the right place.
You're not alone in this. If you're ready for clarity, I’d love to hear your story.
