My Wake-Up Call

(And Yours)

For 15 years, I centered my work around alcohol.

Not because I believed it was the real problem—but because that’s what people understood.

It felt easier to say “I help women with drinking” than to explain the deeper truth:

It was never about the alcohol.

It was about what women were numbing, avoiding, or silencing.

And for a long time, I did the same.

I showed up polished and professional while slowly realizing I was trying to force a round peg into a square hole.

My work wasn’t about sobriety. It wasn’t about control. It wasn’t about abstinence.

It was about self-reclamation.

The Moment
That Changed
Everything

A year before my mom passed, I asked her:

“Mom, if you could do it all over again, what would you do differently?”

She said, “I’d be better to Bob.”

Bob was her abuser.

He knocked her teeth out when she was in her twenties.

He cheated on her, disrespected her, diminished her.

But she thought she was the problem.

That broke my heart.

And it clarified my mission:

To help women never confuse abuse—or neglect, or dismissal, or settling—for love.

To help women reconnect with their truth before it’s too late.

Who I Work With

I work with women—especially those in their prime—who’ve checked every box but still feel empty.

They’ve raised families, built careers, kept it all together. But inside, they’re asking:

“Is this all there is?”

Maybe you’ve turned to wine, Netflix, food, flirting, overgiving, overworking—anything to feel something.
But the truth is, it’s not that you’re broken.
It’s that you’ve been disconnected—from your voice, your desires, your light.

And that’s where we begin.

What I Help You Do

I help women:

  • Reconnect with themselves in a way that feels whole and honest
  • Dismantle the habits, beliefs, and patterns that no longer serve
  • Explore who they are now—without apology
  • Root into their truth so they can live with courage, curiosity, and clarity

You don’t need another program that tells you what to fix.
You need a space that invites you to remember who you are.

My Philosophy:

I Don’t Want You to Change. I Want You to Remember.

I’m not here to tell you what to believe.
Not what a partner, preacher, or politician says is true.
But what your soul already knows.

Because when a woman knows who she is—deeply, truly, wholly—she becomes unstoppable.
She takes a stand. Not with rage, but with radiance.
Not with fear, but with faith in herself.

You’re not too late. You’re right on time.

Just a Woman Like You

Just a Woman Like You

I’m not here to perform. I’m here to be real.

I love uncombed hair and leftover mascara.

My children are grown but my home is full with two dogs Maggy & Moon and two cats Juju & Raven

Rich is my loving husband who has witnessed all the love I have poured into my work over the years.

I’m done pretending I have it all figured out.

I believe in laughter, freedom, devotion, and starting again at any age.

I’ve made big mistakes, and I’ve lived through wild awakenings.

What I’ve learned is this:

  • You don’t have to hit rock bottom to come back to life.
  • You don’t have to fix yourself—just find yourself.
  • And when you love yourself back to light, you change everything.

Let’s Begin Together

If something inside you is whispering, “I want more,”
you don’t have to do it alone.

Get on the list.
Join a circle.
Say yes to the light that’s still in you.

Because she’s still there. And it’s her time now.
