iPEC Certified Professional Coach / Podcaster

I have always been an overachiever.
I graduated high school at 16.
College at 19.
Commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps at 20 - one of the youngest women ever to do so.
Got my Master's at 25.
Had an entire career by the time I got out of the service at 26.
And two-ish years into my first, civilian job - making well over six figures, living in D.C., working fully remote, and living the "American dream"...

I was miserable.
Every morning, I woke up feeling anxiety and dread.
And I couldn't understand why.
It wasn't my job. It wasn't my company. ​I had followed all of the rules, checked all of the boxes, and done all of the things I'd been told would make me "successful."
And while knew I should be grateful, I couldn’t help wondering:
“Is this all there is? What do I actually want to be when I grow up?”

I didn't appreciate it then, but those questions would trigger a full-blown identity crisis.

But they also sent me on an 18+ month journey that revolutionized my life.

I realized, I didn’t need a new job or a new career, I needed a new roadmap for my life.
I needed clarity. And I needed the courage to act on it.
Today, I take other high-functioning, high-performing, ambitious veterans on that same journey to reclaim their identity and sense of purpose post-military service.

They don’t "need" coaching. They WANT coaching.

They recognize that the impact they desire is possible if they invest in themselves and get support from someone who has:
been exactly where they are
believes in their vision
doesn’t buy in to their fears and excuses
will hold them accountable
