A Little About My Story

Life has tested me in many ways. Over the last decade, I have had to make a lot of tough decisions:

  • struggling my whole life with weight problems

  • ending toxic relationships

  • dealing with a marriage that ended

  • questioning my limiting beliefs

  • enforcing boundaries with family

  • starting over/moving internationally

  • changing careers and finding meaning (my WHY)

  • struggling as a professional woman in a “man’s world”

  • fighting to regain control of my own life

  • committing to self-love and healthier habits

But perhaps the hardest part wasn’t just making these changes;
it was understanding why I kept falling into the
same patterns in the first place.

I had to work on my belief system, really reflect on where my thoughts and behaviors came from,
and challenge the mindset that was holding me back.

Alongside this personal journey, my professional path—from Big4 firms like PwC, Deloitte, and EY to leading global transformation projects at Accenture—has shaped how I view change. I’ve seen firsthand the impact of strategy, mindset, and execution. I’m fascinated by what becomes possible when we finally choose to follow our dreams.

Through years of investing in my own growth—coaching, learning from experts, and doing the deep inner work—I discovered something powerful:
I wasn’t alone.

Many people feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next step. That’s when I realized I wanted to become a transformation coach.

In 2022 I finally pursued my dream and earned a certification from Tony Robbins & Chloe Madanes as a Life Coach.

I see myself as a bridge builder—someone who can help others cross from where
they are now to where they want to be.

I’ve been there. I know how valuable it is to have someone
guide you, not with judgment,
but with the right questions, deep reflection,
and an open heart.

TODAY is always the right day
to make a different choice,
to follow a new path,
and to start a new life.

TODAY IS DAY ONE!
