retired people-pleaser, Toddler Mama, tech nerd
I'm a small-town farm girlie who has always had big dreams, a knack for cutting to the chase and setting boundaries like a pro. As a Type-A, emotionally intelligent, high-performing mama with ADHD, I’ve been avoiding small talk since ‘91 and continue to navigate my life as a retired people-pleaser.

in this place, we are committed to fulfilled living
With an MBA focused on Entrepreneurship, certification as a Professional Coach, and accreditation as a Certified Consultant, I bring a wealth of expertise to support high performers in reaching their goals, honing their purpose, and doing meaningful, authentic work.
I transitioned from a successful career in tech to discover how to manage feeling both overwhelmed and underwhelmed. It turns out all I needed was to stop doing the things I hated—those actions primarily aimed at pleasing others or proving my worth.
I founded WorkLife for individuals who want to live with purpose and engage in work that truly matters. My specialty lies in merging professional and personal success—whatever that looks like for you. My vision is to build a community of outstanding leaders, entrepreneurs, and parents who live authentically, pursue their goals relentlessly, and collectively make the world a better place.
Work Together
Yes, it is possible to achieve all three! I’m proof.
A shared commitment to personal and professional growth is essential. Clients who are actively invested in their development, willing to explore new perspectives, and embrace change will find the coaching process most rewarding.
Respect is foundational in our partnership. It involves honoring each other's time, perspectives, and boundaries. Creating a space where both parties feel valued and understood is crucial for the coaching process.
I value transparent and open communication. To ensure a fruitful coaching relationship, a commitment to honest dialogue is non-negotiable. This means openly sharing your goals, thoughts, and feedback, fostering a space where authenticity thrives.
Establishing a constructive feedback loop is non-negotiable. Regular check-ins to discuss what's working well and areas for improvement maintain the effectiveness and relevance of our coaching relationship. This commitment to feedback allows us to refine our approach and ensures your coaching experience remains impactful.
Accountability is a cornerstone. Both parties must be accountable for their roles in the coaching journey—clients for their commitment to action and self-reflection, and myself for providing guidance and support. This mutual accountability ensures progress and meaningful results.
