Ever since I can remember, I have been an innately optimistic individual who has been drawn to three things…
People, writing, and teaching.
I have always felt at my best and most purposeful when honoring these passions.
Growing up, my journals (and eventually, computers) were FULL of my thoughts, feelings, teachings, and desires.
I completed an incredible program in college that allowed me to have several very successful years teaching young kiddos in the classroom.
I’ve had the privilege of volunteering in a hospital with Child Life Specialists as well as been given the opportunity to visit terminally ill elderly patients, and read them letters from loved ones.
Talk about an incredibly powerful firsthand look at the power of being a positive presence in someone’s day!
While being a stay-at-home mama, I discovered a new passion in coaching – where I spent 8 years helping others on their food and exercise journeys.
In early 2024, I started to feel stuck with my current coaching, and although I still loved the people, connections, groups, and conversations, the “one size fits all” approach I had been using was no longer resonating.
Because I am a huge believer in authenticity and being a model of what you preach…
I decided to shift directions in early 2025, and began my journey as a “Happiness Coach”, focusing in on all areas of wellbeing that I believe factor into allowing us to thrive… starting with positive relationships!
I cannot even tell you how right this has sat in my mind, body, and soul.
I am regularly amazed at the amount of beautiful individuals who I’ve connected with, and who have come willingly and full of support as I shifted gears.
My Thrive and Shine blog is my pride and joy of this site.
This blog is another piece of my soul that I’m sharing with you…
And supports my ultimate coaching philosophy which is…
The more we authentically connect and show up as our true selves…
The better we feel, the more we shine, and the more positively we influence others.
That’s why I’m here…
Doing what I do!
I’m thankful for you taking the time to learn a little more about me…
If you decide to stay, I’d love for you to send me a message to say hello so I can learn a little more about you!
Believing in us, always.
