The tools I offer help you navigate your growth with grace

I have been guiding people toward themselves since I was a teenager. Ever the mediator, the philosopher, the empathetic ear, I’ve been creating a safe container for others to reflect, to shift, and to grow for over two decades. In my 20s, I decided to turn the lens on myself and began to navigate the greatest growth of my life. It was messy. But here’s the thing: it didn’t have to be. As I worked my way through it, I began to discover tools that offered tangible stepping stones for growth. I vowed that when I reached the light at the end of the tunnel, I’d turn around and hold up a lantern for anyone else stumbling around in the dark.

So now I’m here. And these are the stepping stones I champion on the path to conscious connection:

Become self-aware

Conscious connection starts with noticing. It’s honestly as simple as that. Noticing what makes you feel good and what makes you feel low. Without the art of ‘noticing,’ you are allowing your nervous system to operate on auto-pilot, which sounds like it could be helpful, but a brain on auto-pilot disconnects you from reality and overstimulates your amygdala (or emotional brain), heightening anxiety and reactivity.

integrate compassion

“Safe” doesn’t mean “painless.” When you become conscious to your life experience, you also become conscious to your wounding and limiting beliefs. This is the part of growth that most people fear. Confronting old pain can feel like the lights went out, causing us to spiral into the dark, feeling grief, loss, shame, and hurt. Compassion keeps the lights on. It is the safe container. If you feel resistance to compassion, I suggest starting with my Rise offering to practice accessing it from a non-threatening place.

stand in your power

Growth is layered. You’re going to feel like you’ve reached the core of who you are, only to discover another layer lying in wait. The beauty is that with each layer you peel back, you will access more and more of your power. Learning to honor your power and stand in your worth not only makes growth easier to navigate, it wards off old patterns of behavior that kept you in unhealthy situations, breaking you free of toxicity and accelerating the rate at which you uplevel.
