Here’s some of my story.

Once a stressed-out marketing executive, I was unsatisfied with the daily grind. I was sitting behind a desk, feeling burned out and unfulfilled. I was living everyone else’s expectations. It was a suburban life disconnected from nature with rushed meals at my desk and constant caffeine to compete with my exhaustion.

If I continued doing what I was “supposed to,” I would end up stressed, unhealthy and unhappy. Surely, there was more to life than this.

But, I felt stuck. I was devoted to my full-time soul crushing job! I had a mortgage, student loan debt, a partner, a house full of stuff and the three best border collies a girl could ask for.

Everyone’s dream is unique.

I knew I wanted to travel, help people and be in nature more.

I decided if I could create marketing plans for major companies, why not create a strategic life plan for myself?

The first part my plan was to learn more about what’s out there. I trained in mindfulness and realized I wasn’t stuck, that life was about my choices.

I worked extra jobs to save money and get out of student loan debt. I took risks and invested in my own dream. I adventured on a year of travel alone, learning about the world and myself. Eventually I settled in a tropical paradise—where I had no friends or family—to start again on my own terms.

All of it was scary, and amazing. It certainly wasn’t easy. I navigated a divorce and cancer during this time of awakening.

But here I am, living that life plan of my dreams…now with the skills and talents to share how you can do it too!

I am a yoga and meditation facilitator (eRYT-500), a certified Health and Wellbeing Coach and Reiki Master. I love my life, am happily married to my soulmate and living in tropical Sayulita, Mexico.
