I am an energetic leadership guide, intuitive channel, and somatic mentor helping visionary professionals, founders, and entrepreneurs reclaim their energy, trust their inner knowing, and lead with clarity, soul, and ease. Blending decades of experience in leadership and education with intuitive gifts, energy healing, and trauma-informed somatic work, I support high-capacity leaders—executives, educators, physicians, creatives, and spiritual seekers—through transitions that demand more than mindset alone. My grounded yet expansive approach helps leaders come home to themselves and lead from presence, not pressure. Known for my calm authority, psychic precision, and nurturing presence, I create high-frequency spaces for deep recalibration—whether I'm speaking on stage, coaching a group, guiding breathwork, conducting a choir, or working 1:1 with clients ready to step into their next chapter.

If you’re a high-achieving empath, you know this pattern WELL.

You make big decisions at work.

People come to YOU for advice.

You’re the one who figures things out.

But then someone you love questions a decision you’ve made for yourself.

And suddenly?

You’re second-guessing EVERYTHING.

Here’s what I want you to remember.

Sometimes people give you advice that helps you grow.

Sometimes they see something you missed.

And sometimes they just wish you’d made a different choice.

THOSE ARE NOT THE SAME THING.

You don’t have to follow it just because someone gave it to you.

You can listen. Think about it. And still choose what’s right for you.

YOU CAN LOVE SOMEONE, RESPECT THEIR OPINION, AND MAKE A DIFFERENT CHOICE.

That’s what trusting yourself looks like.

🎙️ In Episode 306 of Your Yes Filled Life, I’m sharing three questions to help you know when to listen to feedback and when to trust your own decision.

if you’re high achieving empath, make sure you give me a follow and share this with a high achieving empath friend who you think might need it.

Today is my daughter’s birthday!

We had a wonderful brunch with her and her partner at Screen Door Screen Door Restaurant PDX , and tonight I’m making dinner to celebrate.

But the cake?

That’s coming from the store.

Because here’s something I know about myself:

I’m not good at baking. Terrible, in fact.

I don’t enjoy it.

And I have absolutely no desire to spend my afternoon doing it just because someone decided homemade cake is somehow more meaningful.

MY LOVE ISN’T MEASURED BY HOW MUCH WORK I CREATE FOR MYSELF.

I get to put my energy into making a delicious dinner, enjoying my daughter and her partner’s company, and celebrating her.

And let someone else handle dessert.

This is what I mean when I talk about being intentional with your emotional energy.

Not everything needs to be done by YOU.

Not everything needs to be done the hard way.

And choosing what you genuinely want to give your energy to isn’t selfish.

IT’S SELF-TRUST.

If you’re curious where your energy is going and how much of it you’re spending on things you think you should do rather than things you actually want to do - my FREE Emotional Energy Audit is a beautiful place to start.

You can be absolutely THRILLED about the woman you're becoming…
Until someone whose opinion matters to you questions how you're showing up.

And suddenly, you're second-guessing something that felt completely aligned just moments before.

I know. It happened to me this weekend.
In the middle of an incredible season of professional expansion, someone I love questioned some of the choices I'm making.

And for a moment, I felt that familiar pull to explain myself. To make my choices easier for them to understand.

But this time, I noticed what was happening.

I listened. I considered their perspective.
And I didn't make their discomfort my direction.

Because someone can love you deeply and still feel more comfortable with a version of you they've known for years.

That doesn't make them wrong.
And it doesn't mean you have to stop growing.

Imagine being able to enjoy your success, say YES to exciting opportunities, and show up as your fullest self…

Without needing everyone you love to approve first.

THAT'S WHAT SELF-TRUST MAKES POSSIBLE.

🎙️ In Episode 306 of Your Yes Filled Life, “Stop Letting Other People's Opinions Override Your Own,” I'm sharing what happened and the three questions that helped me hear someone's opinion without handing over my authority.

Listen to Episode 306 through the podcast link in my bio.

You can love them. You can hear them.
And you can keep becoming HER.

YOU WERE SO CLEAR ABOUT YOUR DECISION.

Until someone whose opinion matters to you questioned it.

And suddenly, the thing you were excited about doesn’t feel quite as exciting.

You’re replaying the conversation. Wondering whether they see something you don’t. Questioning a choice that felt completely aligned just hours earlier.

I know that feeling.

This weekend, in the middle of one of the most exciting seasons of professional expansion I’ve experienced, someone questioned how I’m showing up in the world.

And for a moment, an old fear surfaced:

What if being fully myself costs me someone’s approval?

Here’s what was different this time.

I noticed the feeling in my body.

I gave myself space to consider the feedback.

I maintained my boundary.

And I didn’t hand over the authority to decide who I get to be.

THAT is self-trust.

Not being so confident that nobody’s opinion ever affects you.

Being able to hear an opinion, consider it, and still choose the life you’re intentionally creating.

Because the freedom you’re building isn’t just about having more opportunities.

It’s about being able to ENJOY those opportunities without constantly checking whether everyone else approves.

You can love people, value their perspectives, and still trust yourself to decide.

MY FEET ARE STILL TIRED. MY SOUL IS VERY HAPPY.

Three days at Synergy in Portland.

Dance workshops with guest artists from literally all over the world.

Two socials.

Dinner with friends. Espresso martinis. Getting dressed up and feeling fabulous.

And SO. MUCH. DANCING.

My feet are still recovering two days later, and I’d do it all again.

Because here’s something I want you to consider:

NOT EVERYTHING THAT TAKES PHYSICAL ENERGY DRAINS YOUR EMOTIONAL ENERGY.

Sometimes the experiences that leave your body tired are the very things that make you feel most ALIVE.

Connection.

Music.

Movement.

Laughter.

Pleasure.

Being fully present in a life you actually enjoy living.

This is why I’m so passionate about helping women become more intentional with their emotional energy.

Because the goal isn’t to conserve every ounce of it.

THE GOAL IS TO HAVE THE FREEDOM TO SPEND IT ON WHAT YOU LOVE.

And to know the difference between what nourishes you and what quietly depletes you.

If you’d love more clarity about where your emotional energy is going, I created something for you.

My FREE Emotional Energy Audit.

It’s a simple way to start noticing what fuels you, what drains you, and where you might want to make a different choice.

You can’t force yourself to feel abundant.

Especially when your circumstances don’t match the life you’re creating.

You’ve done the mindset work.

You understand the concepts.

You know that your internal state matters.

But knowing something intellectually and actually experiencing it are two VERY different things.

And that’s exactly what we’re exploring in this conversation.

Brenda Winkle and Elizabeth Ralph, The Spiritual Investor, bring two perspectives together:

The spiritual relationship with money, receiving, and abundance.

AND the nervous system’s capacity to experience those possibilities as real.

Because when there are bills to pay, financial decisions to make, or uncertainty about what’s next, simply telling yourself to “feel abundant” can feel like pretending.

AND PRETENDING ISN’T EMBODIMENT.

You can acknowledge your financial reality AND practice accessing appreciation, possibility, and greater ease.

You don’t have to deny what’s happening in your life to begin changing how you relate to it.

THE GOAL ISN’T TO FORCE A FEELING. IT’S TO BUILD THE CAPACITY TO EXPERIENCE IT.

That’s where spiritual awareness and embodied self-trust can meet.

I WAS as tired as I look in this video. I danced for three days and then led two choir rehearsals.

But I could not ignore this message. It kept repeating.

You getting this message is more important than it was to wait a day and record after I rested.

Don’t sleep ok this. Ok?

WHAT IF YOU’RE SO FOCUSED ON HOW TO CREATE FREEDOM THAT YOU’VE FORGOTTEN WHAT FREEDOM ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE?

We spend so much time figuring out the strategy.

The career.

The business model.

The number of hours we want to work.

The financial goal we’re trying to reach.

But underneath those plans is something much more personal.

THE LIFE WE ACTUALLY WANT TO EXPERIENCE.

In this conversation, Elizabeth Ralph shares a powerful perspective on money, receiving, and the ways we sometimes limit ourselves by trying to control exactly HOW our desires will come to life.

Because financial freedom isn’t just about a number.

It’s about the choices you get to make.

The experiences you get to have.

And your capacity to actually ENJOY what you’ve created.

We also explore how worthiness, conditioning, and familiar patterns can influence our relationship with receiving.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BECOME A DIFFERENT PERSON TO BE WORTHY OF MORE.

And you don’t have to apologize for wanting a life that feels expansive, supported, and free.
