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.
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.
