Learning to live her truth was born out of living an inauthentic life...
Inauthentic because on the outside everything looked perfect. But something just wasn’t right and she was sad and unhappy. It was here that her magical life took a drastic turn.
She started doing the work, and found that what was keeping her stuck in her marriage, her friendships, as a parent, and in her career, was...HER. She realized that she had been playing it safe and living most of her life on the porch; people pleasing, searching for perfection, and making herself smaller so no one would leave her on the porch again. And then it happened. She decided that life as she knew it was no longer the life she wanted, and definitely not the life she wanted to model for her children. She went deep and faced her biggest fears, and now she helps others live their best authentic life.
In her first published book, she shares her own Getting Off the Porch journey. She is a featured author in “The Wisdom of Midlife Women 2”, #1 Amazon Bestseller in Personal Transformation & Spirituality.
