My Story

My work is rooted in a deep orientation toward service. In many ways, that thread has been there for as long as I can remember.

It began early in my life while caring for my mother, where I came to know both grief and the profound meaning that can come from truly showing up for another person. That experience shaped me deeply. It taught me something about care, presence, responsibility, and the kind of connection that becomes possible when we are willing to meet life as it is.

I carried that orientation into my early career in international philanthropy, drawn by a desire to contribute to meaningful change at scale. I believed deeply in the possibility of creating a better world, and I still do.

But over time, I began to recognize the limits of how I could serve within that field. Something in me was asking to go deeper. I became increasingly interested not only in changing the systems around us, but in understanding what allows us, as human beings, to actually change. I began to sense that my truest calling lived there.

That realization led me into a deep dive into self-transformation coaching in 2018, initially as a way to better understand myself. What I didn't expect was how immediately the work would feel like home, or how it would open the door to a much deeper path of service grounded in transformation, healing, and awakening.

From the beginning, my own healing and awakening journey unfolded alongside my work with clients. I quickly understood that if I wanted to accompany other people into the deeper places within themselves, I had to be willing to go there too. I had to see my own patterns, meet the parts of myself I might rather avoid, and develop a different relationship with uncertainty, the unknown, and that which exists beyond my own understanding.

And as I changed, so did my understanding of transformation.

Through continued training with masterful teachers across the fields of leadership development, self-transformation, trauma-informed healing, and healing energetics, my understanding of transformation continued to deepen. My work expanded beyond the psyche to include the body, the nervous system, and the spiritual and energetic dimensions of experience. Deeper and deeper layers of truth and human potential began to reveal themselves, reshaping what it meant to me to heal, awaken, and become more fully ourselves.

These expansions mirrored my own life. Divorce. Career change. Profound healing experiences. Multiple moves. Again and again, life asked me to release something I had known, enter the uncertainty of what I didn't yet know, and discover who I was becoming on the other side.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, given the name Liminal Movement, I came to recognize these threshold spaces not simply as disruptions to move through, but as some of life's most powerful invitations to transform.

Over time, I came to understand this work as a process of coming home. To me, this doesn't mean abandoning the parts of ourselves that still hurt or feel uncertain. It means learning to embrace more of ourselves while increasingly choosing to live from inner coherence.

Because when we can feel that coherence within, something shifts. We become more able to trust what we know, choose how we want to meet our lives, and create from what is most deeply true. And somewhere in that process, there is a kind of magic. The experience of becoming more fully ourselves.

I seek to live this practice myself. Some days feel great; some don't. But even on the difficult days, I can still feel that shining self within. I know where I'm heading. I feel grounded in my direction, increasingly capable of steering myself there, supported by the capacities I've developed and the relationships I've built, and aware of my agency to create what comes next.

Every day, I consciously choose how I participate in and create my life rather than simply responding from old patterns. I trust my own unfolding, in my leadership, my vocation, and my life. For me, this is part of what it means to be here: to participate consciously in creating a life that feels deeply and genuinely our own.

And perhaps that is the magic: there is nothing quite like the feeling of coming home to yourself.

That is ultimately why I share this work: so other women, and especially women whose leadership has the potential to impact many, can come home to their truest selves and create from there.
