Your Best Damn Life Is Closer Than You Think

FROM PLAYING IT SAFE TO CREATING CHANGE, BUILDING A LEGACY, & BREAKING CYCLES

Revolution begins with your own damn story because the person you become when you're living YOUR best damn life is the one who's going to change the whole damn game

I help you do both

PROJECT: YOUR BEST DAMN LIFE has entered the chat...

A culmination of my 30+ years experience & expertise to get you there faster because Life's too short for someday...maybe?

It's time to turn your what ifs into "Holy shit I'm actually doing this?!?!?!"

be. dare. create.

We start with YOUR definition of living your best damn life and who you're intentionally choosing to BE. The you when you're unapologetic and give zero fucks about fitting in and believe in yourself as hard as you believe in your best friends and you're lit up with that "just fucking watch me" energy that's so damn magnetic and especially when you're ready to burn down whatever stands between you and your dreams. Because the person you become when you're taking up that kind of space? That's who changes the whole damn game

We DARE you to think even bigger as we dig around for that vision living rent-free in your head feeling too hairy scary to handle. You know the one because it makes your heart race and your hands shake. Together we work on turning that excitingly scary dream into your reality with a roadmap that doesn't feel like pulling teeth as you take bold action, even when scared shitless as you prove everyone wrong who said you "couldn't" or "shouldn't". Because the best damn plans? They light you up AND freak you out. That's how you know they're worth fighting for

my strategic partnership & proven framework makes it damn near inevitable for you to be living your best damn life

With your roadmap in place, we turn those dreams into "Holy shit, I just did that!?!!" moments. No more waiting. No more playing small. No more playing safe by someone else's rules. You're going to CREATE a life you love the hell out of while making the impact only YOU can make. We'll smash every "I can't" and "I shouldn't" that's been holding you back until you know - bone-deep - that you've got what it takes as I help you build unapologetic self-belief while taking the kind of action that changes everything

PROJECT: Your Best Damn Life

Using my proprietary framework, you stop wasting time:

thinking you don’t even know what you want (you do) or

thinking it’s not feasible (it is) or

wondering if you have what it takes (you absolutely do) or

who you want to be when you grow up (I even help you answer this)

And we do it all without a single SMART goal because yawn...

BE.

your best damn life
project starts here

DARE.

CREATE.

Your life should be too

That's why our work together is as individual & audacious as you. No bullshit templates or one-size-fits-all advice. Just pure, personalized, kickass support tailored to YOUR bold vision and YOUR audacious goals

Welcome to my side of the world where we intentionally create our best damn lives even when scared shitless and especially when life has thrown you a shitstorm of challenges

In the world I'm helping create with my own difference making ways, we...

🪩 Actively go after our dreams instead of putting them on the back burner

🪩 Unapologetically take up space instead of dimming our light to help others feel more comfortable

🪩 Work hella hard to break cycles for not only ourselves, but younger generations instead of staying in the status quo because it feels easier (hint: it's not)

🪩 Do the work to create deep self-belief and self-trust so we can show up and make the differences we want in the world - starting with our own lives - instead of keeping our epicness to ourselves for fear of rocking the boat

🪩 Keep ourselves open to the myriad possibilities and opportunities in front of us instead of rolling over and accepting that "this is just the way it is" because that's absolute b.s. and we know we deserve more

Not even going to humblebrag. It's pretty beautiful on this side of the world and I'd love to help you join your fellow Revolutionary Difference Makers

Already know you're a hell yeah?

You're one-of-a-kind

And I can help...

- Protect your energies and boundaries as fiercely as a mama bear with newborn cubs. RAWWWWRRRRRRR!

- Help you build that "just fucking watch me" energy that makes you unstoppable and hella magnetic

- Nudge (or push...up to you) you to take courageous action even when it scares the shit out of you

- Call you on your bullshit (lovingly, of course) when you're getting in your own way

- Teach you how to give fewer fucks about what others think and more about what YOU want

it's time to turn your What Ifs & If Onlys into "Holy Shit I'm Actually Doing It?!?"

i bring my whole self including 30+ years experience as a strategic partner helping you get shit done on your dreams

OR taking a step back to rest & recover from burnout as you figure out your next steps?

this is ALL possible* and I help you make it inevitable

What does living YOUR best damn life look & feel like?

*I know because my clients have made this and more happen

Going back to school for the career you've always wanted instead of the one you thought you should have but literally makes you want to poke your eyeballs out and run away screaming instead of having to face another day?

Writing the novel you can't stop creating characters for in your head and have all the plot lines worked out except for the ending...they'll never see the twist coming!

Having adventure(s) of a lifetime as you sell everything and retire to the mountains of Ecuador or travel the US in your bougie RV for a year to visit all the parks on your Someday List™ or volunteer in Guatemala as you figure out your next big pivot?

Starting the new business of your DREAMS, provide opportunities for others, and create your legacy?

Rebuilding yourself from the inside out and becoming the you you've always known is inside...the one who can do anything you set your mind to no matter what others think?

Submitting the paperwork for the non-profit that's been on your heart since forever and be a leader in your local community as you do good, important work alongside others who care deeply too?

Selling your artwork through galleries and juried shows as you create even more because that's what makes you feel fully ALIVE?

Being the person up for anything whether that's learning a new instrument, taking a trapeze class, slinging clay on the pottery wheel taught by that super hot bearded dude, scuba diving in Bali, organizing a retreat, or all of the above because YOU are a grown-ass human who prioritizes new experiences & loving your life?

Asking for the promotion...the one you've literally deserved for a while now as you watch mediocre men get it instead?

Whether I'm talking to C-suites or fancy blue suits from one of the largest companies in the world or a software development team tackling a strategic project with lots of unknowns or a best-selling author stuck on the plot of their next novel or talking to you with both of us messy hair and pajama bottoms don't care...

I bring and do what only I can do best

Helping individuals and teams:

- translate dreams, goals, and visions (no matter how big or ambiguous or out of reach they may feel) into actionable, achievable plans

- take action even with unknowns and self-doubt and second guessing and feeling scared shitless and everything in between

- become the person who deeply believes that what they want is possible and they absolutely have what it takes to make it happen

In our work together, we:

Get clear on what YOU actually want so you don't waste another moment of mental energy and emotional fuckery trying to figure it out and can instead, get to doing

Create a realistic roadmap to make it happen so you know exactly where to focus your efforts

Take intentional & purposeful action because you can't think your way to what you want (I tried and yeah...12/10 don't recommend)

All while navigating whatever obstacles and challenges come up whether it's from your own brain or external circumstances
