Where It All Started…
In an instant, everything changed. Two decades ago, I was an extreme introvert trying to figure out where I belonged in the world. Back then, the idea of being an author or freelancer didn’t even cross my mind. But one pivotal decision changed the course of my life: attending Tony Robbins’ Unleash the Power Within seminar. Surrounded by energy, enthusiasm, and a room full of strangers, I faced my fears head-on. For someone who felt more at home in quiet spaces, that experience pushed me far beyond my comfort zone. It taught me about courage, resilience, and the potential to step into a larger version of myself.
A few years later, I found myself working as an independent contractor in Tony Robbins’ Creative Department. It was surreal. The skills I had developed, combined with what I learned from Tony’s teachings, gave me an opportunity to support a team I’d once only admired from afar. Freelance work wasn’t something I’d intentionally pursued at first—it was a way to work independently, travel the world, stay flexible, and keep growing. But that taste of freelancing changed my perspective. I loved the freedom it provided, allowing me to work with a range of clients and dive into different projects.
Years passed, and life continued to change. I got married and moved to a new state, eager to find fresh opportunities and make my mark in new ways. Yet, despite all my experience, no one seemed interested in hiring me. It was like I had to start from scratch. So, I continued freelancing. I worked with clients across the country, including Tony’s companies, weathering the ups and downs of freelance life. When the COVID lockdowns hit, my work-from-home setup didn’t change much. In a way, I was already well-prepared for it. I continued doing what I knew best, supporting my clients and providing value from a distance.
Where It All Started To Change…
But as the world started to open back up, I hit an unexpected turning point. Many of my clients began to cut costs by sending their jobs overseas. My workload started to thin out, and I realized that I was no longer satisfied with what I was doing. I was entering a new chapter of my life—my fifth decade—and I found myself longing for something more meaningful. I wanted to make a difference, to create something that truly resonated with people, and to work on my own terms. I wanted my work to be about more than just completing tasks; I wanted it to inspire, encourage, and empower others.
So, I took the leap. I made the bold decision to let go of all my clients and start building a business of my own. A business centered around my passion for personal growth, motivation, and helping others reach their potential. It was scary, but I knew it was the right choice. I wanted to share my journey with others—the lessons, the struggles, the triumphs, and yes, even the failures.
Where I Am Now…
Because, trust me, there will be failures. I know that. But I also know that every failure has something to teach me, a redirection toward something even better. And with every step, every success, and every setback, I’m committed to sharing those lessons with you. I’m not just starting the next chapter of my book; I’m starting a new chapter in life, and I want you to be a part of it.
So here I am, beginning again. Building my own success story from the ground up, sharing it with you every step of the way. I know there will be moments when I exceed my greatest expectations, and I hope those moments inspire you to chase your dreams too. And during the times I stumble, I hope my story reminds you that we all have setbacks—that even in failure, there’s a way forward.
This journey isn’t just about my dreams; it’s about creating something that matters and showing you that it’s never too late to start fresh, to pivot, and to pursue a life filled with purpose. I’m excited to share every step of this new adventure with you and can’t wait to see what we’ll learn together.
Welcome to the beginning of something extraordinary!
