Why do I coach?

I learned the hard way that walking through change alone makes everything heavier. For a long time—both personally and professionally—I tried to figure things out on my own. I told myself I should be able to handle it, push through it, make the “right” decision and keep moving. What I didn’t realize at the time was how much energy I was spending just surviving the change instead of actually moving forward. Everything began to shift when I finally asked for support. When I let other people in—especially a coach—I stopped spinning. I gained clarity faster. I made decisions that actually aligned with who I am, not who I thought I should be. Most importantly, I reconnected with myself. I remembered who she was. And from that place, my path forward became clearer and more grounded. That experience is why I coach. I’m deeply passionate about supporting women leaders as they step into exceptional leadership and life—leadership that is rooted in self-trust, alignment, and choice, not exhaustion or over-adaptation. I work with women who are capable, accomplished, and often carrying a lot—yet feel disconnected from themselves or uncertain about what’s next. I’m also passionate about helping leaders shift away from purely directive leadership and into empowered leadership. A coaching mindset changes how leaders show up—with curiosity instead of control, with trust instead of micromanagement, with questions instead of answers. It creates space for people to think, grow, and take ownership—and it changes cultures from the inside out. I coach because I’ve experienced what becomes possible when you don’t have to walk alone—when someone is there to help you see yourself clearly, make aligned choices, and move forward with confidence. That kind of support doesn’t just change careers. It changes lives.
