Celebrating 15 Years of Empowerment, Grit, & growth

A Milestone Worth Savoring
Fifteen years ago in 2010, I stared down the daunting leap into entrepreneurship: I left a sexist and toxic workplace to pursue my passion for coaching and wellness. It wasn’t just a job change—it was a life-changing decision to become my own “lady boss.” Looking back, it feels like both a lifetime ago and the blink of an eye

What I’ve Learned Along the Way
Beginnings Sparked by Courage
That moment in 2010 was fueled by a powerful nudge from a “BAD ASS Lady Boss Friend,” and self-belief.  It required courage to chase meaning over comfort, and that foundational choice set the tone for everything that followed. 

Empowerment at the Core
From day one, empowering others has been my mission. The biggest wins haven’t been accolades or awards, but the everyday moments when clients break through self-doubt, find strength, and transform their lives. That’s where the real magic happens.

Resilience Through Challenges
Running a business comes with its share of hard moments—balancing motherhood, entrepreneurship, and personal wellness; navigating economic ups and downs; and pushing past self-doubt. These experiences taught me the power of resilience: to grow stronger with each setback and to move forward even when it’s hard.

Adventures That Broadened My World
Life outside of coaching—adrenaline, deepened connection with my dogs and horses, equestrian sports, and  travel —played a key role in my personal growth. Those experiences allowed me to connect with clients in deeper, more meaningful ways.

Honoring the Lows and Wins
One truth of entrepreneurship: the biggest emotional hits come from caring too much—holding hope for someone who isn’t ready for their own transformation. But celebrating the small victories—the client who shows up, makes a shift, or finds confidence—is what keeps me going. 

Reflections on the Road So Far

• Authenticity is Everything
  Wearing all my parts—cancer survivor, COVID long-hauler, equestrian, menopausal woman, mom, —has allowed me to coach with raw, grounded empathy. It reminds clients that complexity and strength often go hand in hand.
• Gratitude Fuels Purpose
  Every day, I'm grateful—for family, clients, and the pushed moments. Every breakthrough, no matter how small, is a reminder of how far we’ve come.
• Life’s Imperfections Are Part of the Journey
  From the “Fuck It Wall” of perfectionism to finding balance in Right-Now Resolutions (RNRs)—I've learned that flexibility and self-compassion fuel sustainable change.

Looking Ahead to the Next 15 Years

• Deepening Connection — My goal remains to meet each client in their humanity—and walk with them through transformation.
• Expanding Reach — I’m thrilled to continue growing, expanding my coaching impact, and touching more lives with authenticity, energy, and grit.
• Honoring the Journey — Expectations change; life gets real. But grounded in authenticity, compassion, and resilience—that’s where the future lives.

Thank You, From the Heart
To clients, family, friends, and every soul who’s cheered me on—thank you. Your belief kept me going when I doubted myself. Your transformations are what this milestone is all about.
To the woman reading this, wondering if now is the right time to start—my advice: lean into the discomfort. I promise you’ll emerge empowered.

Here’s to 15 years of being a lady boss, and to the next chapter of connection, courage, and impact.
