Today, I live amidst the serene beauty of Arizona’s White Mountains, content and fulfilled, doing work that truly resonates with who I am. Life is authentic to me; complete with loving goats and a supportive husband. However, reaching this point was not without significant challenges.
For over two decades, I was entrenched in city life, bound by the clock and corporate demands. My daily routine felt like a pair of shoes; a size too small — constricting and uncomfortable.
The monotonous grind included battling gridlock to reach a cubicle that I tried to brighten with colorful calendars and a picture that symbolized my yearning for freedom and a life true to myself.
We even bought a second home in a dream location — a mountain retreat — which ironically became part of a vicious cycle. The stressful job funded the escape, yet I needed the escape to manage the job’s stress. Stuck in this loop, I was spinning my wheels, seeking an escape.
On evenings and weekends, I pursued studies in mind-body wellness, hypnotherapy, and life coaching at a healing arts school. Surrounded by intuitive women, I struggled to tap into my intuition, shaped as I was by a life of the analytical grind.
My teacher’s advice to ‘get out of your head and into your heart’ was a turning point. I discovered my gift for guiding other women to access their intuition, find clarity, and unstick themselves from life’s challenges.
Nearing 50, I resolved to leave corporate life for good, choosing self-discovery over security. In the decade that followed, my life transformed through numerous changes. I left my corporate career and faced major life events, including:
- Two divorces (one involving a narcissist)
- Seven moves, with two cross-country relocations
- Caring for and losing my mother and stepfather to dementia
- Starting and closing three businesses
- Almost losing my now-husband to a life-threatening illness
- Mourning beloved animals
Throughout, I leaned on the insights I gained helping others, alongside the guidance of an intuitive mentor. Animals, my lifelong source of joy, played a pivotal role in my healing.
Happy Feet, a paint horse with laminitis, came into my life, and through nurturing him, my healing deepened. I expanded this passion into animal communication, offering transformative healing sessions.
Guided by animal wisdom and holistic practices, I rebuilt my life, embraced my power, and crafted a purposeful, clear path. Happy Feet, now an angel watching over me, reminds me daily of this journey’s impact.
My mission is to help other women gain clarity, step into their power, and break through barriers holding them back from living their truth. Recall a time when clarity seemed out of reach, when transitions left you feeling stuck — perhaps that time is now.
Know there’s hope to get unstuck and live in alignment with your true self. Life is short; let’s make it meaningful.
