About

You’ve built an impressive life on paper, but success doesn’t feel the way you expected.

You’re exhausted in a way rest doesn’t fix because you’re treating a safety problem like a discipline problem, living from an identity built on proving your worth through productivity rather than from who you actually are.

I help you build a new relationship with yourself so you can experience real fulfillment, not just external accomplishment.


How I Learned the Hard Way

I spent 40 years being everything for everyone but myself.

I was overweight. I was chronically ill. I was the woman who could handle anything, and I was completely, utterly exhausted.

On the outside, my life looked successful. Inside, I was running on fumes and asking myself: “How did I get here? How do I get out?”

The turning point came when I stopped asking “What else can I do?” and started asking “What story am I living inside?”

That single question changed everything.

I discovered that my patterns weren’t random. They were strategies my nervous system learned to keep me safe. My behaviors weren’t a willpower problem; they were a safety problem. And I couldn’t change my behavior until my body actually felt safe. And my body wouldn’t feel safe until my identity shifted.

So I rewrote the story I’d been living.

I rewired my nervous system by addressing the root beliefs driving my actions—the ones I absorbed long ago about my worth, love, and what it means to rest.

I rebuilt my life from that new foundation.

The results weren’t just physical. I lost over 80 pounds and kept it off. I healed my body. I transformed my relationships from one-sided to reciprocal. I discovered what it actually feels like to be aligned with myself.

Now I help women do exactly this—not by giving them another system to perfect, but by helping them return to themselves.


Who I Am Now

I’m still a work in progress. I still struggle to fully express myself, to slow down and focus on what matters. But I have a system and tools to keep healing and keep growing–the same system and tools I teach my clients.

After two failed marriages where I turned myself inside out to please other people, I’m finally in a marriage where I feel safe to be authentic and fully me. Instead of constantly reliving my father or mother wound, I’m healing and able to have a romantic relationship based on what I genuinely want in a partnership.

I’m chasing my dreams not only of helping other women through coaching but also of helping animals and the environment through teaching and writing. Things I never dared to go after as I was chasing goals other people said I should.

I’ve learned that it was never about fixing yourself; it was always about coming home to yourself. I’ve learned to break free from Superwoman burnout by shifting from:

  • Performing → to Being
  • Controlling → to Trusting
  • Overgiving → to Choosing
  • Earning → to Receiving

If you’d like to know more about my personal journey, you can download my book The Healed Table: Healing Our Relationship to Our Bodies, Our Food, and God, which shares the story of how I healed my body from Cancer, Obesity, and Heart Disease. The three step method I share in The Healed Table planted the seeds for the identity work in The Steward Within.
