Life is precious and I'm kinda obsessed with squeezing the juice out of it...
…and I bet that’s why you’re here too.
For years, my hyper-achieving, people-pleasing self thought the way to have an amazing life and achieve success was to check enough boxes and make everyone happy.
Simple! ✅
Wrong. ❌
From an early age I felt separate and different. I struggled with confidence and had a lot of thoughts and emotions I kept inside because I didn’t know any other way.
As I grew into adulthood, feeling good hinged on whether or not things were working out in my life and whether or not I thought the people around me were happy.
For a long time I felt trapped, at the mercy of my own mind and circumstances, spinning my wheels and doing what I thought were all the right things, but not making the meaningful traction I longed for.
While things looked good on the outside, I was exhausted and empty on the inside.
I knew in my heart there had to be a different way, and I was on a mission to figure it out.
I knew there had to be a different way, and I was on a mission to figure it out...
Instead of doing what I had always done - do more,
get better, be better -
I went inside.
I discovered that most of my inner angst wasn’t…
➤a circumstance problem
➤or person problem
…it was a thinking problem!
Nearly all my struggles lived in my mind. As I cleaned up my thinking and my inner world, EVERYTHING began to look and feel different. As I learned to set down old thoughts and beliefs, what I call my Survival Model (we all have one!) and understand who I really was and what was important to me…
…my results and experiences changed in the most profound ways.
I felt free! and I wanted to keep it that way.
Journaling became a lifeline for me and one of the most important tools I picked up during my journey.
My journal was a big, open space where I could thrash, cry, vent, surrender, hope, dream, and create and talk to God. Within its pages, I worked out my feelings and aligned my actions to what I knew in my heart was possible.
➤I DON’T have to believe everything I think
➤I CAN change the way I think about my circumstances
➤I CAN let go of old patterns of thought and behavior that don’t support the life I want
Sitting on the edge of my bed one day, going through the pages of my journal, I discovered my life’s purpose.
This is where I learned...
I’m here to change minds, change lives, and change legacies.
My first business...
My first business was built while my boys napped, before coaching ever found me.
It was called Sanity Journals, a name and concept inspired by real life as I used journaling as a tool to navigate everyday life and maintain my sanity while being the mom of two young boys. 😅
This was just the beginning of my life’s work and mission to do things differently.
I fell in love with the idea of marrying journaling and coaching to REALLY help people change their lives.
I knew this was a powerful combo, because I was changing my own life.
This was liberating, freeing, and exciting!
Today, through my podcast, Differently, and through my unique coaching and interactive journaling experiences, I have the honor of teaching and equipping others with tools for navigating the ups, downs, and in-betweens of their lives.
It would be my honor to support you in designing the…
family,
parenting experience,
business,
relationships,
friendships,
marriage,
well-being,
career,
impact,
LIFE
…you want to live.
If you’re ready to design your own everyday life experience from the inside out, join me!
It's how I discovered that we have the influence and God-given abilities to shape the quality and experience of our life.
- 2 Timothy 1:7
For I have not given you a spirit of fear and timidity; but of power, love
and sound mind.
