The bravest act is to show up as your unique self in a world that is constantly telling you not to be seen.

FIND YOUR BRAVE
My approach is conversational and collaborative.
Together we’ll build a safe and trusting space where you are seen, you are heard, and you are free to be your unique self.
From this place, you can begin to share your story. This is your time where we can explore the themes of your life – vulnerability, courage, connection, shame and worth.
We will identify who has been shaping your narrative and examine the thoughts, emotions and behaviors that have been blocking you. We will have the opportunity to create a new chapter to living an authentic and wholehearted life.
“You either walk inside your story and own it or you stand outside your story and hustle for your worthiness.”
Brene Brown
I was angry, sad, unhappy and determined. Determined to take over being both the narrator and the hero of my story. This was the beginning of hard and emotional work. At times, I did not feel brave to hold my space for authenticity and at times I have felt my bravery guide me to great joy.
It has been a long and ongoing process but my truth is this… I am inside my story as the author and it is my own.
