If you are anything like me, you’ve spent a LOT of time second guessing yourself, your choices, your path, your voice. You try to follow the rules and meet expectations, but somehow, it doesn’t feel like you will ever get where you are going.

So you look for the secret. The answer. The shortcut. The one thing that will finally bring you the joy, peace, purpose, and fulfillment you have been seeking.

Except, there is no secret. No one else has the answer. (Even when they tell you they do.)

The truth is: YOU already have everything you need inside of you.

often times, it is hiding in plain sight.

I know this because when I got tired of listening to other people tell me what I should be doing and how I should be doing it, I said ENOUGH. (I might have said some other choice words too).

I didn’t have the answers, but I knew their rules weren’t working for me.

I learned to access and rely on my own wisdom, power, resilience, and strength. I got braver and started taking action. I began using my voice, making my own rules, and doing things that truly inspired me. I couldn’t believe the doors that opened.

• I quit my high stress, high paying, soul sucking law firm job, and began my own law practice where I make a difference every day.

• I spent quality time with my family, and was able to go on field trips, show up randomly for lunch with my kids, and never missed a game, rather than working endless hours in an office on the 31st floor doing mind-numbing legal work while trying to follow someone else’s blueprint for advancement.

• I started Latin dancing, and then began competing. I traveled around the US, and I became a champion.

• I created Project Be Confident, a program that taught hundreds of girls how to express confidence under pressure.

• I created a brand of dance fitness that taught women how to find fierce power in their bodies, and led powerful retreats in Mexico where we danced on the beach and blasted through things that hold us back.

• I coached and mentored law students, and based on my success in that role, became the Director of Leadership and Professional Development at a top 20 law school.

• I wrote and published a book- “Truly Inspired, Secrets for Finding Extraordinary Success at Work.”

• I began teaching Public Speaking and Communication courses to college and graduate students (which I LOVE),

• started helping CEO’s and founders transform their organizations into places talented people love to work while bringing the very best of their unique gifts and talents, and

• Became a keynote speaker, spreading the method and message of HOW to Strategically break the rules for next level success around the world!!!!

Now let me be clear- every single thing I I have done since quitting my “big” law firm job has been off the beaten path. People doubted me at every turn, often warning me of the risks, giving me all the reasons it wasn’t going to work, and reminding me that I had a much safer, certain path to follow. To be fair, most people didn’t understand that I wasn’t interested in walking down the road that made everyone else comfortable. I am here to do my thing. And I believe that you are too.

You matter. Your voice matters. What you want matters.

Every single one of us has something unique and important to contribute to this world. When we find the confidence and freedom to show up, speak up, and BE who we are, we thrive. Every ounce of what you need already lives inside you. I am here to give you real tools to access your power, your voice, and your purpose - so you can show up in the world on your terms.

If you are ready for that, I am an outstanding ally.
