I was 27 and earning 6 figures in my marketing career, but I was exhausted.
Then a whisper that said, “There’s something MORE you’re meant to be doing.”
But I didn’t want to hear it. Why would I give up everything I’d worked so hard for?
Then came the burnout. I knew something had to change.
So I took the leap to start a coaching business… and failed completely. I was so embarrassed. I questioned everything. “Maybe I’m not meant for more after all.”
Finally, my turning point…
A coach & mentor helped me get crystal clear on my vision… and what would happen if I didn’t pursue it.
I looked 2 years into the future and saw myself getting very sick. I knew that if I continued on my current trajectory, that would become my reality.
So I went ALL IN. I made a step-by-step plan. I hired coaches & mentors and did exactly what they said. I stopped trying to figure it all out on my own.
Within 8 months, I replaced my 6-figure income through coaching and stepped fully into work I love.
Within 3 years, that business was bringing in half a million dollars per year.
The panic attacks stopped completely.
I had more energy & aliveness than I’d felt in years.
I felt more fulfilled than I’d ever been.
And I had the great privilege of helping dozens of women grow thriving businesses they love.
I ran that business for four years before my next death & rebirth cycle came knocking at my door…

I knew intuitively the “symptoms” were my soul talking to me.
But I was scared. “I love what I do! So why is my body asking me to make a change?”
Again, my mentor stepped in. We dug deep and discovered that I was working way too hard.
I’d created a business I loved, but carried old patterns of overwhelm & overwork with me.
I was constantly under stress and pressure.
Once again, everything had to change. Not the work I was doing – but the way I was doing it.
First – the external changes: I cut my working hours. I shifted my business structure. I was terrified, but I knew deep down it was the right thing.
Then – the internal transformation. (This was where the magic REALLY happened.)
I remember thinking, “There should be a roadmap to this process. Because it feels really freaking scary and confusing when you’re in the middle of it. And lonely – because it’s incredibly vulnerable to talk about what you’re going through.”
Then my soul spoke to me: “Yes. This is a part of your calling.”
And the Rebirth Roadmap™ was born.
But more importantly, I was reborn…
My life went from stress + overwhelm to FLOW.
I experience magic and profound gratitude on a daily basis.
I work less than ever before – and my business continues to thrive!

I grew up around coaching (my mom has been doing life, business & relationship coaching since 1986 – long before there was a “coaching industry”)
I’m married to the love of my life. We’ve been together for 7 years – and it keeps getting better and better (really!)
I have the sweetest dog in the whole wide world – a Cavalier King Charles spaniel named Chloe.
I’ve been an entrepreneur for over a decade. I spent 6 years as a direct response copywriter and marketing strategist for speakers, authors & experts before I became a coach.
I’m passionate about photoshoots! I’ve participated in over 3 dozen professional shoots for fun & creativity, and I recently decided to pursue a career in modeling. (Pssst… if you don’t have my free guide to planning an epic photoshoot, grab it here.)
I’m from Austin, TX but we recently moved back to our favorite place in the world – San Diego, CA
I love hosting in-person events for my “Women Empowering Women” group. If you live in Austin or San Diego, I’d love to see you at an event! Join the free Austin group here. (San Diego group coming soon.)

Though I’ve had many coaches, there has only been one true mentor in my life… and she just happens to be my mom!
Gigi Sage is one of the most brilliant coaches I’ve ever met – and my biggest believer. Not only has she been the catalyst for my biggest “turning point” moments, but she has coached and guided me every step of the way.
Gigi helped pioneer the coaching industry, and has created multiple coaching methodologies – including The Aliveness Method® and the Secrets of Power Couples® method.
Gigi is the wind beneath my wings, and I became a coach so I could be that kind of believer for other women too.
Gigi and I lead the Wealthy World Changers mastermind together – and we are currently in the process of writing a book about how to be highly successful AND stay connected to your feminine energy as a woman.
