About

In January 2012, I see myself standing in the front yard of my custom-built farmhouse in Alaska. I had everything - fancy cars, sports cars, bonuses, traveling somewhere every single month, a bank account full, a beautiful family, a husband, meeting and exceeding goals - everything I strive for, I met and exceeded. I thought these things would bring me happiness.

From the outside, and on paper, it appeared that I had everything and my life seemed perfect. As I stood there in the front yard, I reflected on the fact that I felt like it was one of the lowest points in my life. Why is it that I have everything I dreamed of, everything that society tells us we must obtain and achieve, and yet I feel so terrible? My next thought was, well, maybe if I get my body in really good shape, then I'll be happy. So the very next day, I joined the most expensive gym, hired a coach, hired a trainer, and set out to change my body because in my mind, that would finally be the missing piece to my happiness.

18 months later, I was standing on a stage at a bodybuilding competition, holding the first-place trophy. Was I happy? Perhaps I felt joy and excitement for 48 hours, but I still felt like a shell of a person. In the years ahead, I retired, sold my company, sold my commercial property, and liquidated most of my possessions because moving to another place (the grass is greener) must be the solution to my happiness.

Certainly, moving provided some benefits. No longer being chained to a desk had its advantages. However, the belief that I would no longer be stressed out was false. At this point in my life, I could make even the simplest things seem stressful. I realized that stress is purely a thought created by the mind, but I didn't know how to change it. I thought it was a character flaw, there must be something wrong with me.

Because of my years of bodybuilding and the photos of my journey on all my social media platforms, I was contacted by many people to help them lose weight and guide them to look the way I did. I wanted to transform their bodies and hold them accountable to their unique goals. I knew that I needed to become certified as a coach and get certified as a personal trainer before helping people in this way, so I set out to get certified as a health coach and trainer. It was easy to find people who wanted my support.

For a few years, I worked as a health coach and even proceeded to be a diabetes prevention health coach, a for a year. My journey led me to wanting to have a deeper understanding of how mindset plays a tremendous role in habits. I became incredibly curious about how the mind thinks and how consciousness can either ignite your heart or sabotage you at every turn.

This is where I delved deep into life coaching and relationship coaching. This step enables me to work with anyone who seeks change in their life, whether it be in their health, life, relationships, habit creation, or habit change. I wanted to be able to help anyone who finds themselves in an unhappy place and doesn't understand how to break free from the cycles and patterns that keep them stuck in a rut.

I personally find so much purpose and meaning in serving people who find themselves in the very place that I found myself back in 2012: lost, confused, frustrated, alone, and not good enough.
