I’ve always been a bit of a superstar.

I’m not trying to brag—just telling it straight. I’m a very well-loved only child in a creative family. I was a good student, good at juggling many interests and talents, and could charm the pants off most people. Achieving, pleasing, and trying to do it all served me beautifully for many years—through school and later, through my successful 16-year art museum career. Being impressive felt a lot like being loved.

But at what cost?

To keep up with relentless demands, I can see now that I had to override override my limits, natural rhythms, inner distress signals, and inconvenient desires. Whenever my body tried to get my attention, I pushed harder.

After multiple cycles of burnout, I came to a realization in my thirties: I was so deeply wired to rush, produce, and perform, that it felt like I would die if I slowed down. But the truth was: I might die if I didn’t slow down.

In 2019, I finally got honest with myself. I gave up the things I loved that were no longer working for me, including my job, my marriage, and my hustle. I let go of who I was to see who I wanted to become.

Through a deep soul journey, I noticed that certain parts of myself were dying and others were emerging. In those years, I healed my body, reconnected with my magic, and became a student and teacher of care and liberation. I fell in love with life again, and I wanted to share my experience.

In March 2020, I created The Retreat Space as an online community to play, heal, and grow together. During the pandemic, I collaborated with other teachers and healers to offer dozens of free live classes about self-care (many are still available here). It was a rich time in my life.

For a long time after quitting my museum job, I couldn’t figure out how to reconcile my professional career with my newfound purpose to help people. But I knew I was on to something, so I started experimenting. I kept following the breadcrumbs of my curiosity and joy.

In 2024, I followed my intuition and enrolled in a nine-month training with Martha Beck to become a Wayfinder life coach. The combination of getting coached every week and learning how to coach others was completely transformative. I was able to learn mind-blowing skills while embracing my calling as a mentor and guide. 

What I didn’t expect was that getting coached would help me stop believing 90% of my fearful, overactive thoughts. Old insecurities melted away, and I discovered a wellspring of self-trust and confidence. The result has been liberating. 

Now in 2025, the world is on fire but I’ve never felt more clear or calm. (Seriously.) 

And I’ve never felt more excited about work—while also feeling healthy. Making it up as I go along, I’ve managed to create a hybrid career as a life + work coach and an art museum consultant. The variety of these two roles ignites me. 

I’m currently a consulting project manager for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where I get to use my project manager gifts to coordinate the most prestigious annual fashion exhibition in the world. But because I’m part-time and seasonal, I get summers off and don’t get caught in the hustle of being an overworked employee. This gives me heaps of space and energy for my wellbeing, family, newsletter writing, and—of course—my coaching practice. 

And as coach and advisor, I use my work and life experience, coach training, and magical powers to help clients make changes.

• I advise clients to find unique work that lights them up and pays them well. 

• I show them how to get out of their head and start trusting themselves.

• I help them turn a life that’s “fine” into one that feels like their wildest dream.

• I coach people who feel crippled by world chaos back into their calm purpose. 

• And I give clients permission and tools to break free from pressure and actually start enjoying their life.

If this sounds like a “hell yes,” I would love to be your guide.
