I grew up in a traditional, fundamentalist Christian home—where questioning was rebellion, obedience was survival, and “being good” meant not having a clue who you actually were.
I got my first hint it was all bullshit at five years old. But let’s be real—what five-year-old can afford to defy her parents and survive? So I did what so many of us do: I silenced myself. I swallowed the rules. I tried to be who they wanted me to be.
I tried to leave my religion many times. I finally left for good at 28.
And then… the real work began.
For over 30 years, I’ve studied personal development, religious deconstruction, spirituality, neuroscience, (so many) healing modalities, and the subconscious mind—because I was determined to understand why so many of us feel broken… When the truth is: We were programmed to feel insecure. And it’s very easy to control someone who is afraid.
Then at 38, life threw me the biggest plot twist of all:
I realized I was queer. Not slowly. Not gently. WITH GUSTO!
I had zero clue I was a lesbian until that moment. None. Nada. Zilch.
And yet—when I finally knew? It felt like coming HOME. Better late than never.
Because here’s the thing:
I wasn’t late to my life. I was RIGHT ON TIME for the next iteration of ME.
It is NEVER too late to BE who you came here to be.
Now I guide late-in-life lesbians, ExVangelicals, and women who are DONE living by everyone else’s rules. Women who are asking:
Can I really do this?
Will the cost be too high?
What if I lose everyone I love?
What if I end up alone forever?
What if I blow up my life… and it still doesn’t work?
I get it. I’ve lived it. That was over 30 years ago - and I had to do it all alone. No one was talking about this. No one else seemed to be experiencing this. I had no one to talk to. No one to guide me. I had to figure it out for myself and I did. You can too! But what if you don't have to?
Here’s what I know to my core:
You are not broken.
You are not behind.
You are not too late.
You were conditioned.
You were silenced.
You were taught to abandon yourself for belonging.
And now—you’re waking up.
My work is SO simple (not always easy but absolutely do-able):
I help you peel back the layers of programming, shame, fear, and “shoulds” so you can return to the truth of who you are, so you get to see and experience who you came to be in all your magnificent glory!
Because life was NEVER meant to be as hard as we were taught.
And if I can find my way back to myself after decades of pretending?
Then so. can. you.
This is your becoming.
Your remembering.
Your liberation.
And if you’re ready…
I would be honored to walk with you.
