I built a life that works. This is where I show you how.
Six Months in the Mess
After my best friend died, I didn’t know what to do with myself. But I knew I couldn’t keep doing what I had been doing.
I wasn’t lost exactly. I was very clear that I wanted to move forward. But forward, for the first time in a long time, didn’t look like scaling, performing, or pushing. Everything inside me had rearranged.
I had already built a business. I had already built systems. I had already survived things I don’t say out loud in professional spaces. What I hadn’t done—what I’d been too exhausted, too smart, and too strategic to risk—was show up publicly as myself.
But in the silence that followed her death, I made a quiet promise: I would stop hiding.I would stop performing other people’s power.I would stop waiting for a moment when it would feel safe to be seen.
Losing Her Changed Everything
She saved my life when I was sick. I couldn’t save hers.
And just like that, everything changed. Not just emotionally, but structurally. That kind of grief doesn’t just break your heart—it breaks your life open. It forces you to reconfigure everything around the absence.
Why I Left the U.S. — And What I’m Building Now
I didn’t leave the United States for adventure.
I left because I was scared. Because I was tired. Because I was trying to survive.
What I’ve built since then is more than a new life abroad—it’s a softer, safer way to live. And now I’m helping others do the same.

Free Business Resources to Help You Thrive in Tough Times
Inspired by the memory of a dear friend—a devout Christian and life coach whose generosity knew no bounds—I’m offering my entire suite of business resources for free until March 2025. My friend believed in helping others, especially those who were trying to create something meaningful out of nothing. And now, I’m following her lead by offering these tools to those who may be facing their own struggles, whether they’re rebuilding after a disaster or simply trying to grow their business during tough times.
My career path has never been a straight line, and that's exactly its power. From the hustle of a hospitality takeout window to the strategic boardrooms of tech startups, each turn has taught me the resilience and adaptability that only a non-traditional path can teach.
This journey hasn't just shaped my professional life; it's forged who I am, armed with an eclectic toolkit of skills and experiences that I bring to every challenge and opportunity.
