Expansion Power Hour
“It’s lonely at the top.” You don’t have to be an executive at a major corporation to experience this.
When you’re a strong and capable woman, the one always helping everyone else, and the one everyone comes to for advice, it can feel lonely.
It feels impossible to find someone you can trust and open up to.
Especially if you've been let down by people over and over and have come to primarily rely on yourself.
I’m super selective about who I share my problems with.
Frankly, I think most people give crappy advice. And are terrible listeners.
They usually share their own opinions, experiences, and distorted views of the world. And end up making it all about them.
And most of the time, they speak only to my head and not to my heart. And never to my Soul.
And, that always feels painful for me.
It hurts my heart to feel so unseen and unheard.
So, I’d rather just deal with it myself.
I want to be seen. I want to be emotionally met. You know, like for someone to know that there’s something deeper I’m trying to access, and help me to find that.
Few people can really hold the type of space I need when I’m trying to solve a problem, make a decision, gain clarity on a new idea, make a plan, face my doubts, challenge my thinking, reach for my goals, or otherwise need support.
And yet, there are times when we all need someone to talk to––a sounding board, a thought partner, someone who will keep us aligned with our true selves, values, and priorities.
Because this has been my own experience, I KNOW that you can’t go on thinking that you can do it by yourself forever.
You need someone holding YOU.
What if you could reach out to someone who you CAN trust? Who can hold your pain and your dreams? Who meets your high expectations? Who you feel like you can drop your guard and be vulnerable with?
This has been something I’ve consistently been able to create for countless clients over the past decade.
Now that I’m offering more group coaching and training programs and fewer 1:1 coaching opportunities, I’ve been itching to create a way for people to have access to me without having to commit to ongoing coaching.
An easy way to get the support you need and want.
This is what you can count on from me. I’ll consistently
- Be someone you don’t have to take care of. A space where you can rest and allow me to "hold" YOU
- Nudge you to expand, feel, and think beyond what your mind can conceive
- Listen to your big ideas, dilemmas, and dreams even if they feel too vulnerable to share (and too scary to act on) and help you to tease out what’s possible and take steps toward that (rather than affirming the limitations that are already torturing you inside your head)
- NOT pick sides or talk trash about people (well, maybe for the first 5 minutes); rather, help you to see what you’re not seeing and extract the lessons available for your growth
- Lend you the courage to explore the explore the unknown territories that you may feel afraid to explore you so you can push beyond your growth edge (rather than succumb to the natural human resistance to the unknown)
- Be the leader you need to inspire you, stretch you, and nurture you
- Do my own inner work to take bold action in my own life, and so I’m “practicing what I preach” when I invite you to be braver and bolder than you’ve been before
- Drop in and support you to process something from your past, soothe your inner child, tame your inner protector or otherwise help you to do the inner work to support you in reaching your goals
- Call you out on your patterns, help you to own your part, and gain clarity about what you can do to interrupt the pattern and feel more liberated from unhealthy patterns in your life
- Remind you of who you are and point out when you’re moving toward things that aren’t aligned or that would require you to betray yourself in any way
- Challenge your assumptions, behaviors, patterns, beliefs, and actions so you can discover what’s most true for you and act from there
- Support you in feeling into what’s right and trusting that. Not doing things that feel off or wrong. Not doing what you “should” do, but rather what you know to be true and right for you.
I want to support you to expand, evolve and grow.
I will give you the space to explore and know yourself better. And to support you as you find discover and get clear on what's right for you.

Why Me?
For decades, I've felt like no one could be there for me.
I had to learn how to be there for myself, how to trust others to be there for me, and then how to be there for others. I've spent the past decade learning how to hold space for others. Especially strong, self-reliant women. And women who are leaders and feel like there's not one who really gets them.
I've worked with executives, business owners, moms, housewives, women who know they're leaders, women who think they're not leaders, strong women who feel weak, strong women who intimidate others, insecure women who appear strong,
My zone of genius is in seeing many perspectives, choices and alternatives. As an eternal optimist and natural problem solver and project planner, my brain sees things that others don't see. I also see connections that enable me to make sense of things that feel too daunting figure out.
I help you to unravel old ways of being and see new possibilities, even when you think there are no good options. I stay focused on ensuring that whatever next steps we discuss are fully aligned with you and the life of your choosing. When you feel stuck, I see another way. When you feel limited, I remind you of your potential. When you're in a darker, self-doubting place, I remind you of your light and brilliance.
I was a project manager, business analyst and strategic planner for almost 2 decades before I started my own business. Even in the transformational work I've done with women over the past 10+ years, I've applied these natural gifts to support women in understanding themselves, reclaiming their wholeness, and stepping more fully into a life that's aligned and true to them.
In this one-hour session, we'll expand your possibilities, your mind, your perspective and your mind! You'll walk away inspired, expanded, energized, and ready to take action.
