Believe me, I know what it feels like to be stuck in a job, situation, or on the achievement wheel that's draining your energy. I spent too long working in a career that drained me and trying other people’s ways to walk through life. I finally learned how to align my goals, values, and faith with a better way to live—one that allowed for more joy and space in my life to live from a place of calm, peace, and purpose.

So much of my professional identity and assumptions needed to be peeled back for me to see clearly the vision I had a few years ago. I wanted to show up in the world the way God wove each part of me to be uniquely made to encourage others to live a more joyful, creative, open-hearted life that allowed them to serve the world doing work that fills them up.
