She came to me because she wanted advisement on expanding her business.
She was already an accomplished entrepreneur with multiple streams of income, and a passion for high end sports that had landed her a spotlight on a television series.
She was referred by a family member who had also worked with me successfully. So she knew of my work through the palpable transformation that she witnessed with her family member. She envied the peace, power, and self belief that they embodied.
But as we began our work together, I could feel there was far more happening beneath the conversation she thought we were there to have.
Something she had been holding.she was so accustomed to people placating her, that my direct delivery and inquiry was refreshing and a bit uncomfortable.
The private truths of powerful people can be too much for some to hold.
Not because they are too dark.
But because they rarely arrive neatly. They hold ambition and exhaustion. Devotion and resentment. Gratitude for the life they’ve created—and the quiet knowing that they can no longer continue creating it in the same way. Because something like health, or relationships or credentials become the thing that can’t be buried any longer.
She didn’t need another strategy.
She needed someone who could hear what she wasn’t yet saying, see what others couldn’t see, be guided safely, and remain steady when she finally did.
Because the truth beneath her desire to expand her business was that the woman carrying it had been disappearing inside of it.
And no expansion strategy would have solved that.
This is where my work begins.
Not with the polished version of the story.
With the truth powerful people rarely have a safe place to be met and held where they are.
