MY STORY

Remembering myself

I unexpectedly came home to myself while going through breast cancer treatment in 2019.

During this time, I turned inward, rested deeply, and took a dive into my inner landscape.

There, I discovered my luminous self - the essence of who I am - which I had neglected amidst the unrelenting demands of toxic productivity culture.

I met with a very wise and compassionate oncology geneticist. He informed me that my specific health story is one that occurs in only one out of every 10 million people. The first thing that came into my mind after he said that was the line from a Mary Oliver poem, "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"

It was in that moment that I knew that I needed to leave my 20 year career as an adult educator & online learning specialist and step fully into a more sustainable way of being.

I am devoted to supporting women - just like you - to step into their wild & precious life, share their magic, and shine.

But first, rest.
