As a former firefighter, she knows what it's like to fight fires - and deal with tragedies - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. The biggest challenges she faced in her life were the internal battles she had with herself as she experienced several important life-changing events and struggles to express her authentic self because of fear of what other people might think or do to her. Thankfully, she discovered the secret to managing fear effectively, so she's been able to enjoy fantastic results and get more of what she wants while having much more fun and making significantly deeper connections with the people in her life. Plus, she knows what it takes to thrive despite the overwhelm, criticism, stress, and conflict between career and family. When she left the Fire Service, she became a therapist, quickly switching to a coaching model. Why? Because she believes people tend to live up to their labels and wants her clients to operate out of the best labels possible to realize their potential.
