plot twist

Change the world by living the hell out of your own life first. I'll show you how

the be. dare. create. FRAMEWORK 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.

BE your fully rebellious, “rule” breaking self - no permission needed, no apologies or excuses given. Nothing but full on deep self-trust, belief, and determination

you do brave and courageous things all.the.damn.time

30+ years helping others make epic shit happen has taught me: Your vision isn't random. Your desire to create change isn't accidental. Your way of making it happen matters

Who you become in the process? Priceless

You're a difference Maker. I am too & our very existence pisses off the patriarchy

DARE to do exactly what they said you couldn't or possibly worse..."shouldn't". Turn that burning vision into a strategic AF roadmap and GET. SHIT. DONE.

make it inevitable no matter what

CREATE the life that lights you the hell up while making the difference only YOU can make through bold & courageous action - even when scared shitless

(I love that...it's what keeps me going when I'm extra frustrated)

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

- 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
