I grew up with parents who loved me but had little resources. My father was a farmer and my mother a cook in a cafe. Needless to say, there was very little money, and seafood was fish we caught out of the ponds and rivers. I used to dream of more, walking the farm thinking of living in places like I do now. I learned from my grandfather that I could be anything I wanted with a good work ethic and grit. I was the first and only in my immediate family (parents and siblings) to go to college.
My father told me I would go to school to be a nurse and I looked at him like he was CRAZY! Well, I did go to school for nursing after a few years, earning my bachelor’s of science in nursing. Little did I know all of this would lay the foundation for the rest of my life and open my heart to coaching.
Don’t get me wrong, I loved my career as a labor and delivery nurse. I loved caring for and helping my patients. As a labor and delivery nurse, I got to bring a lot of beautiful and healthy babies into the world. I also held the hands of those who lost their babies. I let them hold their children and I prayed with them. Even in those moments of sadness were joy and love. I was doing work that really mattered, the pay was good and there was always opportunity to earn more. However, I still longed for more.
Plus, those bonus earning opportunities brought their own challenges, primarily burnout. After 6 years, I was ready for a change. I needed more fulfillment, time with my family (no more holidays or weekends working, please!), flexibility and freedom.
So, I started my own business through a multi-level marketing (MLM) company. From there, I grew rapidly and refined my coaching and leadership skills. In less than a year, I had the privilege of coaching well over 50 people and helping them start their own businesses. I was earning a great income, but I was still unfulfilled working for someone else.
Everyone has untapped potential, a longing and desire that does not fade.
I know because I’ve had it too. I discovered how to push through fear, break through limiting beliefs, flip my money mindset problems, identify distractions, and live life to its fullest. Most importantly, I learned it was all up to me and no one else could do it for me. I knew I had to hire a life coach, which is exactly what I did in 2012. I have worked with coaches ever since, and my income has grown. Coaches know the value we can give.
After I changed careers, I learned how to help people become the best versions of themselves. Over the years, I have coached many women, helping them to get unstuck and grow. Being a person who likes challenges and is not afraid to face fear, I have what it takes.
Your longing and desire may or may not be to leave the bedside — and that’s okay! If you have a side hustle and are ready to make it more, I know exactly what it takes to make it happen. So, if you’re a professional woman or nurse who’s looking for more, I’d love to come alongside you to help you discover that purpose or achieve an already-defined dream.
I believe the purpose of living is to leave a legacy and impact the lives of others in a positive way. I love coaching. I know my children are watching, and I desire for them to chase their dreams. Watching their parents is the best way to do this. Working is a privilege, and success is available for everyone.
Unashamed Beliefs
I am a coach who will work with anyone, but I also believe you should know where I come from and what my beliefs are. This is important because we will discuss our lives together during coaching.
- I love people and will treat everyone with respect.
- I believe in life and am pro-life.
- I know our children do not belong behind masks.
- I believe in the freedom to choose what vaccines you want to put in YOUR body and in YOUR children. My choices may not align with yours, but I will love you regardless.
- My beliefs come from my Christian faith. Jesus Christ lived and died for our sins, and I give all glory to God.
As a coach, I provide a support system of accountability, walking alongside you and helping you gain confidence in yourself and in the direction of your goals. I listen, ask questions and encourage you to uncover your unique answers. I help you look at your life holistically and show you how to be proactive with your mindset.
