I grew up in a traditional, fundamentalist Christian home—where questioning was rebellion, obedience was survival, and “being good” meant disconnecting from yourself early.

I got my first hint it was all b#llshit 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 become who I was told to be.

I tried to leave my religion many times. I finally left for good at 28.

And then… the real work began.

Growing up in the church left deep marks. I was born a sinner. There was a big guy in the sky keeping score. Wanting what I wanted could send me to hell. Add in all the “good girl” conditioning and you get a life lived on eggshells—rooted in conditional love, with no real connection to self.

All that learning felt like a cage.

And one day I realized something radical: the cage door wasn’t locked.

With fear, uncertainty, and a whole lot of courage, I opened it.

What followed was a long, wild, deeply human journey of self‑discovery and awakening.

For more than 30 years, I studied personal development, religious deconstruction, spirituality, neuroscience, the subconscious mind, and countless healing modalities—not because I wanted to be enlightened, but because I wanted answers.

Why did so many of us feel broken?

The truth I uncovered was simple—and confronting:
We were conditioned to feel insecure and unsafe.
Because people who are afraid are very easy to control.

Then, at 38, life delivered the biggest plot twist of all.

I realized I was queer.

Not slowly.
Not gently.
But like a lightning bolt out of nowhere.

I had absolutely no idea.
None. Nada. Zilch.

And yet when I finally knew, it didn’t feel shocking.
It felt like coming home.

That moment cracked something wide open.

If I could hide something so intrinsic to my nature from myself, what else had I learned to hide?

What unseen stories were still shaping my life?

What parts of me were still running the show from the shadows?

Those questions changed everything.

And it’s why I do the work I do today.

I’ve found a way to help people see the hidden stories that quietly direct their lives—and to do it in a way that’s simple, practical, and long‑lasting.

Because here’s the truth:

You already have the answers.
You always have.

All that’s missing is the ability to remember.
And the right questions unlock the vault.

Now I guide women who are done living by everyone else’s rules.
Women who are quietly asking:

Am I too broken to fix?
What will it cost me if I choose myself?
What if I wake up and don’t like what I see?
What if I change everything… and it still doesn’t work?

I get it.
I lived it.
And for a long time, I did it alone.

No one was talking about this.
I thought I was the only one.
There was no roadmap. No guide.

I had to figure it out the hard way.

You don’t.

Here’s what I know to my core:

You are not broken - so you don't need to be "fixed".
You are not behind - so there's no rush.
You are not too late - you're right on time.

You were conditioned.
You were silenced.
You learned to abandon yourself to belong.

And now—something in you is waking up.

My work is simple.

I help you peel back the layers of programming, fear, shame, and “shoulds” so you can return to the truth of who you are—and finally experience the life you came here to live.

Because life was never meant to be this hard.

And if I can find my way back to myself after decades of trying to be who everyone else wanted me to be?

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.
