One of the biggest risks I’ve ever taken was quitting a career to go for my dream of being a small business owner and stay-at-home mom. Another terrifying act was getting sober. These changes weren’t easy. And they didn’t happen overnight. But they turned out to be two of the most important choices I’ve ever made. Today, it's my passion inspiring others to find the courage to make the inner changes necessary for external transformation.

Several careers and dozens of unused URLs later, I'm happy to report that "multi-passionate" is indeed a thing, and is, in fact, the new gold standard for inspired living. It turns out a little self-awareness, loads of risks, and a whole lot of carving out your own path is just what the inner genius ordered. I couldn't be more excited to share my journey from scattered to creative alignment.
