as seen in:
I know what it is to live with fear, insecurity, and a fair amount of jealousy—not to mention be up to your ears in debt. After a series of low-paying jobs that left me feeling bored and stuck, I decided I had to follow my heart. So I started to dream big—about moving to London (where I knew no one), writing a book (which I wasn’t sure anyone would read), and launching my own coaching business (without knowing if I could earn a dime). And people told me what I wanted wasn’t “realistic.” But in my opinion, the goal of life is not to be realistic.
I made $442 the first month of my business —and hit six figures in six months. Inside of 18 months, I hit seven figures—a meteoric rise that would be impressive for anyone, let alone a small-town girl from Ohio.
It wasn’t realistic, it wasn’t luck, and it isn’t a secret. I made critical shifts in the way I viewed money and made decisions (including a sizeable investment in my business), and took action to get past my fears. And then I started teaching other women how to do the same thing.
Today, I coach women all over the world, helping them break through their false backstories and flawed money mindsets that hold their goals hostage and keep them from moving forward with their dreams.
I BELIEVE IN:
Straight talk, personal development, helping women make as much money as possible, and lots of champagne.
I'm NOT ABOUT:
Making excuses, dabbling in your dreams, waiting for the perfect time, oh, or small talk or cartoons.
YOU CAN FIND ME:
Guesting on podcasts, on coaching calls with my incredible clients, watching The Office, hanging with my husband James.
morning rituals:
Morning coffee + affirmations, cuddles with my husband, writing emails, blog posts and getting my creative juices flowing.
The truth is, I always knew I was meant for something big...
I’ve seen firsthand what is really possible in a short amount of time, and I’m here to help you become more successful in your own life and business. Maybe that means having the time to travel, guilt-free shopping, or moving into your dream house. It could mean hiring an assistant, having a beautiful website, or finally paying off those credit card bills. However you personally determine your success, I believe that living an extraordinary life while running a highly profitable business is possible for you.
Think it sounds too good to be true? Explore my personal business and life transformation timeline below and see just how far I have come. Believing in myself and trusting my true calling were my first steps to success. I didn’t know I would turn a quarter-life crisis into a 7-figure business, but when you do what you love and embrace your calling, success begins to find you. I know you can be my next success story. You just have to get started!
Now, I do it all...!
I'm also a published author through Hay House.
