My Story

I’ve been married for more than 40 years, and my husband and I raised four wonderful children who are now adults. Today our family has grown to include nine grandchildren, and spending time with them—creating memories and watching their personalities unfold—is one of my greatest joys.

Like many women, my early adult years were centered around raising a family. I was a stay-at-home mother while my children were young, and later, when my youngest entered elementary school, I stepped into a new chapter by starting my own business. That experience eventually led me back to school, where I completed my bachelor’s degree in psychology later in life.

Those years taught me something important:

It is never too late to grow, change direction, or pursue something meaningful.

Along the way I’ve also experienced the reality that family life doesn’t always look the way we once imagined.

Relationships evolve, expectations shift, and sometimes we have to learn how to adjust our picture of what we thought life would be. Learning how to reframe those experiences and adapt with grace has been an important part of my own journey.

At age 50, my husband and I made a decision that has brought us tremendous joy—we began working through our travel bucket list. Exploring new places, learning about different cultures, and staying curious about the world has become one of the ways we continue to grow and stay engaged with life.

Today, in addition to coaching, I enjoy volunteering in the community, learning a second language, traveling, and spending time with my family.

My coaching is shaped not only by my education in psychology, but by decades of real-life experience navigating change, family dynamics, personal growth, and the transitions that come with different stages of life.

I believe every season of life holds new opportunities for purpose, connection, and growth. Sometimes we just need a little support and perspective as we find our way forward.
