The Break-free Program to Awaken Women of Strength
A 12 Week Intensive Helping Professional Women Break Free From Self-imposed Limitations to Deep Dive Into Their True Potential Using a 360 Degree Discovery Process to Find What They Are Uniquely Aligned to & Creating the Blueprint for Achieving the Life They Want and Deserve.
Who Am I?
My title and salary never changed. But, despite doing a thankless job heaped with responsibility, I soon realized my sole pleasure was helping and building trust among my colleagues who were befuddled or lost. While I hated my situation, people around me asked for guidance, I felt so much strength and courage and saw my job dissatisfactions slowly evaporate. I became more resilient. This led me to more mentoring, more coaching as I realized that there were others like me, who were also fed up ‘with the grind.’
At that point in time, the forces around me showed me that I can prevail in the face of any obstacles and not be defeated.
Once my associates began to realize that the future would be brighter if they were willing to ditch those limiting beliefs, they too began to see a new life, a way forward to find who they are meant to be. I discovered my enormous gratification, in a small way, transforming the lives of others and beginning to see my own future as a motivator taking shape. This is what I want to accomplish with all my clients.

For the soul walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed.
The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.”
– Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
