My entire reason for being, my passion, is to help women find happiness through being authentic and doing what they love. When people ask for an explanation of what I do, it has something to do with helping women close the gap between where they are, and where they want to be. Good, right? Because for most of us, there is a gap, and often, we have NO idea where to start. Often, I find that this gap is least likely to be closed when women are playing small. It could be in business, love, parenting, snowshoeing, whatever. Could you be holding yourself back from living the life you dream of living?

A few weeks ago, I had an idea that made me feel more alive, more passionate, than any other idea I’ve had, and I instantly sat down to create a plan of how I could get it out to the world. This idea had “hey, you’re finding your purpose here” written all over it. Only, this idea is SO big, so game changing, that I’ve decided to let it simmer.
