FIND THE #1 THING THATS STOPPING YOU

There are lots of things that get in our way.

Negative self-talk, expectations, over-thinking, fear

There are lots of things that get in our way.

But for each of us, the #1 thing standing between our best life and us is usually hidden in the place you’d least expect it.

It’s the shadow side of your greatest gift.

That thing that you are the best at – that comes most easily to you – is what you hide behind when the thing you want most presents itself.

The funny hide behind humor.

The helpers hide behind service.

The extroverts hide behind being the life of the party.

The intellectuals hide behind answers.

I could go on and on…

If you’re feeling stuck – maybe you’ve even been working with some of the tools in my toolbox – and you’re just not getting traction in that ONE place where you most want it, figure out what you hide behind.

Once you shine a light on a shadow, it goes away.  

But beware, my friends, when turn the light off, the shadow comes back.  Your greatest gift and your greatest obstacle are two sides of the same coin, inextricably linked.

The good news?

Once you’ve seen the shadow, you’ll forever be able to recognize when it’s holding you back and you’ll shine your light again.

My superpower?

Seeing beneath the surface to help you identify and overcome limiting beliefs, reveal your unique strengths and potential, and dare I say, tap into your soul's own magic.


These life-stage transitions you're facing? They're like being handed both a blank canvas and a box of infinite possibilities. Yes, it can feel overwhelming.

Yes, it might seem easier to stick with the familiar. But here you are—standing at the gate, feeling a mix of excitement, uncertainty, and probably fear. And let me tell you this with absolute certainty: if you're ready for change, you're in the right place.
