Confidence Coach & Certified Life Coach

HERE'S MY STORY IN A NUTSHELL

I’m a Confidence Coach here to help you overcome imposter syndrome and self-doubt, so that you can accelerate your career with confidence. But, let me tell you, I didn’t always have it figured out.

Being competitive is in my nature. I used to be a Division-1 (Florida State University) swimmer and multiple NCAA finalist. I transitioned into Commercial Real Estate and had a successful 15+ year career earning 6-figures and getting constant amazing feedback from clients. 

On the surface, life seemed great. But inside I was constantly plagued by self-doubt and this absolute fear of being found out as someone who wasn’t actually capable or was just lucky to have been successful. I dreaded going to work, but I had a family and responsibilities and needed the income, so I sucked it up and kept on showing up. And as the saying goes, I tried to ‘fake it till you make it’, with the hope that eventually, if I showed up long enough and tried hard enough this feeling would go away and I would truly feel confident in what I was doing.

Guess what? It did not work and deep down, I knew that I couldn’t keep living this way. I was tired of going through the motions, just waiting to get home.

At the same time, I also knew that I was destined for more. I had this burning desire to do more. So, I decided to leave a well-paying job to start all over again. To do something I was passionate about and wanted to do and that’s why I made the leap to become a life coach. I wanted to help others who are facing the same struggles I did, because I now know you don’t have to feel undervalued, overworked and have that awful feeling in the pit of your stomach every time you get ready for work.

Fast forward to today: I created a framework that combines a tried and proven process, mindset techniques and personalized action steps to help you break free from self-doubt and unleash your true potential. I am proof that this works, it has been a total game changer for me and I am now showing up as a more present, better and all around happier and more fulfilled wife and mother.

Today, this is exactly what I teach my clients. I built this process from scratch. I have tested everything I teach and coach today and I walk my talk every day. I also know that I am never done learning and continue to learn and grow as much as I can, so I can then teach you! 

If you’re ready to ditch imposter syndrome and take your career to the next level, I’m here to support you.

Reach out to me and let’s start this transformative journey together.
