I help introverted over-thinkers stop saying yes (when they mean no) and set healthy boundaries without guilt or fear of pushback. I started to see a shift.

When I was a kid I was teased for being different which taught me to hide the real me behind a mask. My nine-year-old self learned that if I didn't ask questions, I didn't make waves, and I didn't act “stupid” then my friends wouldn't ridicule or make fun of me and that felt safer. As an adult I felt lost and frustrated with my life, which led me to explore every possible path for personal growth

that I could get my hands on. I went through so many books and programs that I couldn't finish them all. It was like going from shiny thing to shiny thing and bleeding money in the process. Some things did stick though and overtime I started to find the real me. As I started to embrace my imperfections and show bits of my true crazy self to the world. That all started when I became a yoga teacher in 2014. I found people complimenting my crazy yoga pants and reaffirming the things that make me uniquely me. Their joy helped me to feel more joyful. It wasn't until the pandemic of 2020 that I finally figured out what I'm truly good at: coaching. And not just any coaching, Yoga & Life Coaching, that brings together the philosophy of yoga into each coaching session. I discovered that I feel more grounded and able to coach and lead when I remember to breathe. Through Yoga & Life Coaching I got clear on my four core values and what matters to me most. That helped me clarify my purpose: Coaching women who feel the necessity to blend in so they can shed their mask and become their true self. Do you feel unsure of who you are? Every time you blend in, ignore your needs, and ignore your wants
you’re telling yourself that you don’t really matter

And overtime the real you has hidden behind your mask. Isn’t it time to stop blending? Take off that mask and reconnect with your true self. Pick a time to put you first and schedule your consultation to learn if working with me might be a good fit for you.

A very woo story from someone with a science degree 🤩🔮🔬

Your time IS actually yours

I know it doesn’t feel that way

It feels like you have no time right?

Your schedule is hostage to work, your kids’ soccer, your partner, your parents 🫠

Like you just need a few more hours in the day ☀️

And it’s feeling like you’re the only one that can take care of things is to just keep pushing through 🛡️

But what if I said you don’t need to anymore?

That pushing through and continuing to show up for everyone is making it 1000 times harder to show up for your self. 😭

And if you’re not careful, you’re gonna burn out (if you haven’t already).

And that’s exactly why I created the How to Create More Time workshop, to help introverted overthinkers create more time and stop saying yes (when they mean no).

If that’s you, if you’re calendar is packed to the max, and you’re beyond exhausted comment “I need more time” and I’ll personally reply (no bots here)

Have a magical week 💖

An offering to my grandmothers Gwen and Vivian

I have to admit I was terrified to share this with you because I didn’t want to get a bazillion comments telling me “you’re doing it wrong.”

For me, it’s about being honest with myself, that this IS part of me.

I’ve been soooooo afraid of this part of me because it felt “wrong” and “too out there” and I was afraid that everyone would judge me.

So, to overcome that fear I’m sharing this with you 💕

My ritual to call in guidance and support from my ancestors:

🕯️I lit a candle and made my grandma Gwen‘s favorite type of tea in one of the tea cups ☕️ that I got from her house on the table where I had so many meals sitting in one of the chairs 🪑 that I reupholstered with my father that came from her house so that I felt deeply connected to her in this moment.

I opened my space by doing some alternate nostril breathing 👃 cause that’s a really good way to ground, re-center, and clean & cleanse out my energy.

Then just talking 🗣️ to my grandmothers, asking for their support and guidance, and asking for what I really want and need. (If you’re someone that’s done prayer before, this feels really similar to me)

I had this little moment of connection and stillness that felt really really good. 🧘🏻‍♀️

The whole process (including set up) was about 10 minutes. 😍

If this is something that resonates for you, make sure you’re following me.

I’m gonna be more open and vulnerable about the parts of me where I’ve feared being judged because…

I want to set the example that it’s not so scary and you can do it too.

For you, it might not be on social media, maybe it’s talking to a friend or having that uncomfortable conversation with your partner or your mom that you’ve been putting off for months or even years.

It’s alllllllllll doable and I’m right there with you!

Wishing you a magical week

Much love 💕

My love of science 🧪 and all things woo 🔮 and why that’s important.

We’re a blend of many things, there isn’t one single thing that that defines you.

If you’re frustrated by the same things again and again it’s likely that you have an unmet need (and need to put a boundary in place)

If you’re feeling stuck in your frustration comment “BOUNDARIES” and I’ll share my favorite tool for working through that frustration.

With warmth and light,

I’ve been doing the exact thing I tell my clients not to do 😭

🌪️ Overcommitting
😬 Saying yes to everything
😩 Showing up even when I feel like a husk of myself because people are counting on me

And yet…

There are so many things I could have said no to, rescheduled, or postponed

But I didn’t 😭😭😭

Why?
because I got in my “I said I was going to do this, so I’m going to do this” mode

And now I’m paying the price

But instead of feeling stuck, overwhelmed or hopeless…

I’m doing a few simple things to help restore my energy:

💃 I went to my favorite dance class because I always feel a million times better after (and I left my crazy to-do list at home)

📚 Reading a fun YA fantasy (though I do have to be careful about how long I read otherwise I’ll be up past midnight - I set a timer to keep myself on track)

✍🏼 Doing my morning affirmation, astrology, and journaling practices (15 minutes tops)

🧘🏻‍♀️ Meditating every night before bed (just 7 minutes)

What helps you to restore your energy or sort out the chaos in your head?

And if you’re thinking “ooof, this is so my life right now. 😩 I just keeping saying yes before I realize the words are even out of my mouth and I wish I had a way to stop doing that, that doesn’t leave me feeling like 💩”

Well, that’s exactly what we do inside my program Boundaries & Balance: we find the places you’re completely overwhelmed and we create a framework and support system that works with your life and helps you to feel good about it to. (Say goodbye to guilt and rehashing conversations 😘)

It’s the small subtle changes that have the biggest impact, but they’re nearly impossible to see (and implement) on your own.

That’s why I created Boundaries & Balance, and we start July 19th.

Comment BOUNDARIES and I’ll send you the deets

Setting boundaries isn’t just about saying no. It’s about acknowledging what you need and want without needing a full power point presentation to justify yourself.

Which is why trying to set boundaries on your own can feel like an impossible task.

Quick gut check…

🤷🏻‍♀️ You’ve said “I don’t know” about something you definitely have an opinion on

🙊 You can list twenty five things you said yes to this week without realizing you were saying yes until the word was out of your mouth

😔 You’ve talked yourself out of something you really wanted

🌪️ You’re still rehashing a conversation from five weeks ago

😭 You’ve asked yourself “do I even deserve this?” more than once

🫩 You’re exhausted from a decision you still haven’t made

If even one of those landed, Boundaries & Balance was made for you.

Boundaries & Balance is the coaching program for overthinkers that teaches you how to:

🚫 Stop saying yes (when you mean no)

🌳 Set healthy boundaries (without pushback or guilt)

⏰ Have more time in your day (without having to borrow it from other people)

☺️ Feel lighter and happier (than maybe you’ve ever felt in your life)

It’s not a pipe dream, it’s reality when you join Boundaries & Balance

If you’ve been wanting more time in your day, to feel lighter (instead of weighed down by your responsibilities), and wish you could say what you really mean (without having to prepare a full power point presentation) than Boundaries & Balance was made for you.

Starts July 12th
