About Me
Ok, this is where the really fun stuff comes in. After quitting my demanding corporate marketing job, I decided to create my own consulting company, focused on marketing and sales support. I taught myself a lot along the way. And then, I decided, let’s go back to school - this time for an MBA!
That was at the end of 2019.
Yeah, you get the timing. Not only did I complete my MBA during the pandemic, but I also grew my business to six figures, started a podcast, and…burned out! Oh no! That wasn’t the plan at all!!
The journey has led me in interesting directions, though. Pulling from my earlier experience in neuroscience-backed meditation and certifications in Happiness Life Coaching, as well as my hands-on work with my clients, I wrote a book, Breaking Up With Burnout, to help other women break up from the stores that hold them back and ultimately burn them out in all parts of their lives.
Honestly, I didn’t burn out anymore. Yes, I get tired. Yes, I need to recover from big events, retreats, protest marches, birthday parties, and launches. But no, I don’t burn out. Because I’ve developed a system that means I know how to shift swiftly to make sure I never hit burnout and have a complete meltdown in public again.
Things I Love:
🎃 Halloween (peep the ‘fit in the tophat)
🐕 Rescue dogs…ok, all dogs
🎨 Really great tattoos
🎶 Empowering music.
🌻 Autumn, the best of all the seasons, imho
And so much more…
