My mission is simple. It’s to get you to a place of feeling good when you think and speak so that you lead from a place that lifts you and others around you.. I know conscious, authentic communication (the kind that makes you feel vulnerable) may make you feel nervous at times, but I promise if you stick around here, you’ll get better and better at it. You just need the tools to own the room with confidence, influence vs. inform and make genuine connections with the people you work with.
It’s time for us all to ditch the facade of being what we’ve been programmed to believe is “professional.” AKA: What you think other people want you to be and step into the clarity of just being you. After all, it’s you and your expertise that got you the job and the clients in the first place. 😃
And if you’re wondering what spirituality and science has to do with becoming a better communicator and leader …. buckle up! You’re in for the inside-out self-improvement journey of a lifetime.

Media Interview Tips
The goal of an interview is to communicate your key message to a public audience via a news reporter, podcast host and the media outlet they serve. Remember: you’re not there to educate the reporter or show how much you know.
