ABOUT ME
Helping you rewire your mind, reclaim your energy, and live with joy - every single day.
My sole purpose in life is to be in joy. And one of the deepest ways I fulfill that purpose is by helping people like you come back to yours. I used to believe the big lie - that if I found my purpose, I'd finally be happy. But here's my truth: purpose isn't about what you do - it's about how you live. It took me years, a burnout or two, and suitcase full of life lessons to figure that out. My goal? To help you get there faster, with less detour and more delight.
I'm an explorer, a storyteller, and a fellow human who's walked away from the "dream job" to build a dream life. I help change agents, seekers, and soul-led leaders wake up fro autopilot and reconnect with their true selves. Whether I'm coaching one-on-one, speaking on a stage, or guiding a circle of brilliant humans, my work is rooted in this belief: joy isn't a luxury - it's your power source.
And your life gets to feel that good. Every day.
COACHING ISN'T ABOUT FIXING YOU - IT'S ABOUT FREEING YOU. HERE'S HOW OUR WORK TOGETHER UNLOCKS YOUR POWER, PEACE, AND PURPOSE.
You're smart. Capable. Driven. You do the reading, listen to the podcasts, take the courses, maybe even had a few breakthroughs.
And yet...you still feel stuck. The results aren't landing. Your joy is on pause. And that inner critic? Still loud.
The truth is: insight alone doesn't create transformation. Without rewiring the autopilot habits that drive self-sabotage, you just keep circling the same mountain.
That's where mental fitness - and coaching with me - makes all the difference.
This isn't about working harder. It's about upgrading how you think, choose, and lead from the inside out.
Even the world's best athletes have coaches. Not because they're broken but because they're seious about their potential.
When life's demands outpace your capacity, coaching reconnects you to the parts of you that are wise, grounded, and lit by joy.
You already carry the map. Coaching helps you follow it home - to your true, incredible self.
JOYFUL OPTIMIST COACHING METHOD
3 STEPS TO UPGRADE YOUR LIFE FOR JOY, PURPOSE & PEACE
1
PAUSE THE PATTERNS
We begin by slowing down enough to notice what's running the show - your mental saboteurs, old stories, and the autopilot patterns that keep you stuck. This is where your mental fitness training begins. You'll learn how to interrupt stress cycles, quiet your inner critic and create space for joy to re-enter your life.
2
REWIRE YOUR MINDSET
Through coaching and daily practice, you'll build mental muscles and strengthen the part of you that leads with curiosity, compassion, and possibility. You'll start to choose joy - not as a reward, but as your baseline. Joy isn't fluff. It's fuel. It helps you stay calm under pressure, think clearly, and show up as your most authentic self.
3
TAKE ALIGNED ACTION
We anchor your transformation with bold, meaningful moves that reflect who you are becoming. No more chasing goals that leave you empty. This is about building momentum that feels good and runs deep. This is where purpose, peace, and progress meet. Joy stops being a someday thing and becomes your everything.
