More of you, less of the
world’s bullshit.
My Calling. My Craft. My commitment to the world.
Is to support leaders inclined to use their gifts for good, come home to themselves and cultivate a life & leadership where they feel most alive.
Because too often the cost of leadership is disproportionally born by the people that care the most.
Then they burn out or feel defeated or wonder if ‘this is it’ or question if they are even cut out for it or sacrifice more of themselves - and then fantasize about running away to a secluded island where no one expects anything from them.
And if all the leaders and founders and creatives that care about humanity actually do run away, we’ll be left with the voices, views, and values from the asshats of the world.
I’ve spent my entire life feeling pulled between good girl conditioning and the feral existence that courses through me. As I went about my life accomplishing things people would tell me ‘you make it look so easy’ while on the inside I felt like an angsty ball of contradictions that wanted to run away to an Alpaca farm.
It’s me, I’ve been that leader...
Understanding what informs my patterns, beliefs, habits, thoughts, decision-making and how I navigate the world has helped me be a kinder human, craft a version of leadership that doesn’t sanitize who I am, and have more trust in the choices I make.

Values/North Stars
IMPACT
To do what we can to leave the world better than we found it while being conscientious, curious, and on the side of human rights.
ADVENTURE
To embrace going off script (and ahem, off-road), to explore and to allow for the things that make us feel alive.
LOVE
To let ourselves love and be loved, to be gentle with ourselves and each other, and to allow vulnerability to be a guide.
It’s been quite the ride!
A small glimpse through the decades …
The 80’s - The early years of feeling like my favorite places were in the woods, with animals, or with my siblings and learning that hiding and reading people well, kept me safe.
2015 - Complete coach training, leave corporate job, go all in on coaching, living in the PNW and realizing what I was conditioned to think of as success, wasn’t my definition at all.
The 90’s - Parent’s divorce, move from small town to big city, real annoyance for humans begins, spend most of my time outside of school working, and convince myself that a life of hating my job is ok if I am financially safe.
2000’s - Graduate schooling, get a job in tech, continue to assimilate and am rewarded with quickly climbing the corporate ladder, striving for perfection, forgetting so much of my ‘wild’ along the way.
2025 - By now have coached loads of incredible people, moderated panels, riffed on stages and podcasts, rediscovered that nature is my happy place, gave RV life a whirl, and a devastating break-up rattled me into remembering who the fuck I am.
And now,
here I am in my Feral Era.
I’ve deviated from the “path” and have aligned my life and work with the things that mean the most to me. AND I still have days where old patterns, habits, fears - the noise of the world - is really loud. So I don’t think of this transformative work as before and afters but as an integration of who you were, who you are, and who you can become - whatever that means for you.
