Fried like your
favorite pickle.

After an amazing 15-year run in the tech world building and leading various teams at Slack and Emma, in 2023 — I needed to make a change. I was completely burnt out. Fried just like your favorite pickle.

Since leaving Nashville in 2015 where I was a big fish in a small pond, I moved all across the country from one big city to the next, climbing the corporate ladder as if it were a jungle gym. I learned so much, and met all of my best friends along the way. I have no regrets about it.

On the outside, you couldn't beat the type of life I was living. I was leading one of the best Customer Success teams in the industry, in the best city (NYC) and making more money than I'd ever dreamt of making before. I was able to say yes to just about anything I wanted to do or buy. I worked really hard to get there staying the path that was the most linear and predictable, one that would lead me to bigger and better things if I just kept going.

But on the inside I started to feel like I was a caricature of myself. As I'd sit down for my back-to-back zoom meetings each day, I'd imagine myself like a muppet booping, bopping and mashing the keyboard to get my work done. I was anxious all of the time, my body was swelling in weird places. And while my calendar was always busy with work and social events every night, I was really struggling to find peace.

I hired a health coach because of all of the swelling. Turns out that's what massive amounts of cortisol does to your body (go figure). While we started out talking about diet, exercise and what you would expect out of a health coach, she encouraged me to start meditating. Within two months, the familiar panic I was used to greeting me each morning — it was gone. Within six months, she'd helped me work up the courage to quit my job — to get off the well-worn path that I was on and change my pace. (She is much more than a health coach by the way!) She helped me realize that I needed to rest and recover. I needed to hard-reset my whole life. And she helped me give myself permission to do so. That's when I discovered the power of coaching, or being coached more specifically.

That fall I left Brooklyn and moved to a little treehouse situated in Laurel Canyon, one of LA's most storied neighborhoods, where musicians and artists have always gone to reinvent themselves. I was hoping to do the same.

I began to realize just how much of my identity had been tied up in who I was professionally and by what accolades I was able to achieve. Self-worth and productivity were synonymous to me. I spent a lot of time trying to unlearn so many of the things that had shaped my path, that had been hardwired in me. For the first time since probably ever, I was learning to rest, like really rest. And honestly, it was hard and I felt guilty about it. Sitting still was brutal for me. While I had a couple of ideas and dreams of what I wanted to do next, there wasn't anything that I was able to put any real oomph behind. I was still paralyzed by all of the shoulds I'd learned to judge myself by, the fear of burnout and the fear of getting it wrong.

But somewhere in all of that stillness, something else started happening. I got curious.

I started paying more attention to what was happening inside of me instead of immediately looking outside of myself for the next answer. I continued to meditate and journal. I started to listen to my body. I began learning more about astrology and tarot. And the more I read about energy and consciousness, the more I wanted to learn. I was exploring all kinds of things that a previous version of me might have lovingly filed under a little woo-woo.

Not because I suddenly thought the stars or a deck of cards should tell me what to do. (I still don't.)

But after spending most of my life thinking my way through everything based on what I could see, prove or explain, it was nice to have these different, fun mirrors to hold up and look into.

And as I continued down this path of self-inquiry, I noticed that I started to put more importance on how things felt versus how they looked. I felt my perspective start to shift.

I'd have the same idea come to me again and again, so much so that I had to stop ignoring it no matter how far-flung or uncomfortable it felt to explore. I started to pay attention to what actually lit me up versus what I thought would. I also kept banging my head into closed door after closed door, no matter how hard I tried to force some of them to open.

I started treating those things less like answers and more like breadcrumbs. Little invitations to get curious, to reflect, to try something and see what happened.

And slowly, I started hearing my own voice again.

Not in some booming, THIS IS YOUR PURPOSE kind of way. More like… learning the sound of a whisper I'd spent years pushing down in favor of what felt practical and socially accepted.

I learned that intuition wasn't necessarily something that magically popped into my head with the right answer. It was something I could build a relationship with. Something I could make space to hear. I could follow what had energy, try things, let them go when they didn't feel right anymore and trust that not knowing exactly where I was going didn't mean I was lost.

And maybe most importantly, I started learning that not everything had to be so damn hard. I could take action without trying to control the outcome. I could want something without gripping it. I could let a closed door be a closed door instead of trying to pry it open. I could put in the effort, but I found ease in all things was just as important (if not more so). I started to ask for life to meet me halfway. For it to surprise me.

And somewhere along the way, I found myself coming back kind-of full circle. I realized that the part of my career I'd always loved most wasn't the strategy decks or the promotions. It was the conversations with the people I managed and mentored — the ones where someone felt truly seen, or finally got clear on what they actually wanted.

I'd been coaching people my whole career, which I already knew I loved, but I wanted to do it from a different angle this time. I wanted to bring together the practical part of me that knows how to ask the hard question, make the plan and actually do the thing with this other part of me that had learned to get quiet, stay curious and trust what I couldn't always explain.

For the first time, I'm building something from my heart and not just my brain.

I want to help people not just with the career stuff (which I'm really good at, by the way), but to help them figure out who they are underneath all the noise they've been living inside.

I want to be clear: I'm not here to tell you to quit your job or blow up your life. I did that, and it was the right call for me, but finding yourself doesn't require a dramatic exit. It just requires honesty.

Some of my favorite work is helping people find more of themselves within the life they're already living: the career they're in, the relationships they have, the city they call home.

Because sometimes the answer really is this. This job. This person. This city. This life.

Only now, you're choosing it.

And I wish I could tell you that once I learned all of this, I had myself completely figured out and floated off into the Laurel Canyon sunset with my journal and a tarot deck.

Lol. No.

Life kept happening.

Plans changed. Relationships changed. I had ideas I was convinced were the thing until they weren't. At the beginning of 2026, I left my little treehouse in LA, packed up my life (and my pup) and moved across an ocean to Lisbon. I've found myself back in the unknown more than once.

But something was different this time: I knew where to come back to.

To myself.

To the practices that help me get quiet. To my body. To my intuition. To the people who hold up an honest mirror. To curiosity when I don't have an answer. To trying something instead of needing to know. And yes, occasionally to a tarot or oracle card that calls me out with almost offensive accuracy.

I still don't have everything figured out. I don't really want to.

What I have now is a center. A relationship with myself that I trust enough to return to when life gets loud, strange, exciting, painful or completely uncertain.

And that's the kind of work I want to do with you.

Not give you my answers. Not tell you what the universe supposedly wants from you. Not hand you another formula for living your life correctly.

I want to help you know yourself deeply enough to hear your own voice, get curious about what else might be possible and trust yourself enough to choose what comes next.

Maybe we'll make a plan. Maybe we'll follow a breadcrumb. Maybe we'll pull a card about it.

We'll see what comes up. ;)

What I value

What I'm made of.

At my core, I care about being in honest, meaningful relationships, doing work that matters, and living in a way that feels aligned, true and joyous.

I'm naturally curious — about people, patterns, and how we grow — and I'm always seeking to understand things more deeply, both within myself and in the world around me.

I try to move through life with both intention and lightness. I'm unlearning the idea that everything valuable — including self worth — requires constant efforting. For me, success isn't just about what I build — it's about how it feels while I'm building it.

01

Integrity

I act in alignment with what I believe, follow through on what I say, and engage with others from a place of honesty, accountability and good intent. I tell the truth, and strive to do the right thing even when it's hard, and I do it with kindness.

02

Connection

I value relationships that are reciprocal, present and rooted in mutual curiosity and understanding. I want to feel seen, and I care deeply about seeing others.

03

Self-Awareness

I value reflection, openness, and the ability to see myself clearly. I take responsibility for my patterns and perspectives, and I seek the same level of awareness and willingness in the people around me.

04

Curious Growth

I value evolving, learning, and staying open to new perspectives. Growth, to me, isn't about pressure or perfection — it's about curiosity, expansion, and a willingness to see differently over time. That includes how we see ourselves and others.

Operating Principle 01

Intuition + Self-Trust

I trust my inner knowing and make decisions from that place, without over-explaining or outsourcing my authority.

Operating Principle 02

Ease + Flow

I believe life shouldn't be a constant battle, or feel harder or heavier than it needs to be. I consciously work for what matters. I pursue what feels aligned, natural, and sustainable, and I let the rest go.
