For years, I equated my worth with output. Promotions felt like validation. Burnout was just part of the game.
In those early years, I was praised for being bold—unafraid to say the thing out loud that others were only thinking. But that boldness didn’t always come with applause. I got plenty of feedback about my delivery, not my ideas. I was told to be “more polished,” “more palatable,” “less much.”
It took me a while to understand that what I really needed wasn’t to dim my voice—it was to deepen it. I had to learn how to bring both directness and empathy into the room. Not just to be heard, but to create connection.
And still, something deeper was calling. I started to feel the disconnect—the misalignment between my values and the systems I was working in. I didn’t just want to perform well. I wanted to live well. To lead in a way that actually felt like me.
So I made a move that scared me: I left corporate.
Not just to start a business.
To start over.
To unlearn the identity I had built around productivity and performance.
To reclaim self-trust.
To do work that felt aligned with how I wanted to live, not just how I wanted to be seen.
That first step wasn’t easy—but it was honest.
And that honesty became the foundation for the work I do now: helping others step into leadership and purpose with clarity, courage, and heart.
