I am a seeker. I am a teacher.
I’ve always been drawn to the horizon. At two years old, I staged my first escape, toddling off to see what lay beyond the bounds of my little world. That spark of curiosity has guided me ever since, driving a life of exploration, reinvention, and a mission to empower others.
But the road hasn’t always been easy.
My childhood was filled with moments of wonder, and resilience. I carry the scars of sexual abuse—a silent burden that shaped how I see myself and the world. I learned strength early on, though it took me years to fully understand how deeply that experience impacted me.
Adulthood brought its own trials. I married young and, over time I navigated not one, not two, but three divorces. Each one stripped away who I thought I was and challenged me to rebuild.
Instead of shrinking from challenges, I leaned into them with my signature blend grit and optimism. I took care of my children whole-heartedly by building business opportunities around their schedules and needs by becoming an entrepreneur. I built a career in real estate, threw myself into event planning and more — all while nurturing my passion for meaningful experiences and purpose.
By 2022, I found myself at another crossroads. My kids were grown and a quiet voice inside was asking, “What now? Who am I when they’re gone? What’s next? Do I want a partner?”
I then embarked on a solo pilgrimage — the Camino de Santiago. For centuries seekers have walked this path across Spain in search of clarity and purpose. I was no different.
With ample space to think, to feel, and to ask the big questions, something shifted. I realized that I’m not alone in this. Many women are facing similar challenges. That moment of clarity set me on a new path of designing transformative retreats for women that reflect my joyful, open-hearted approach to life.
Knowing that we are all teachers and students, a safe space is created to share; I invite women to ask bold questions, dream big and explore new possibilities.
I want women to know that they are not alone. We all have our scars and crossroads, but we also have an incredible capacity to grow, evolve, and thrive. Life isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about embracing the journey with curiosity, courage, and a whole lot of heart.
With that I remind you, that no matter where you’ve been or what you’ve faced, there’s always another adventure waiting on the horizon — and the courage to embrace it is already within you.
