A Letter from the Founder

From Me to You...

When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a news anchor, an air traffic controller, a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader and a Solid Gold Dancer (yes – a Solid Gold Dancer!)… But, somehow along the way I adopted someone else’s dream of becoming an industrial engineer, a management consultant in a large firm, a fast-rising "hypo" generating millions of dollars for a company, a real estate investor and other interesting (and not so interesting) roles. Across over 15 years of searching, I trudged through life wondering, with a twinge of guilt, “There’s got to be something more. I hate this. I really think I hate this.” With all the trophies and accolades, the promise and potential, I managed to amass stress-related chronic fatigue, a mind & body that could not relax and a rack of “gratitude lists” for all the things I wanted to assure myself that I was grateful for. I was a faith-filled woman who loved God, had a family that loved me, friends that accepted me, activities, service and adventures, but at the core was a gnawing spirit of discontentment. I went to the “best” school, made the “right” choices, worked for the “best” companies, yet as an old country song would say, “I was knee-deep in a river dying of thirst.”  With blessings enough to last two lifetimes, how could there be such a war raging inside? The problem: I was making a living, but I wasn’t living my life. I was floating along, making the best decisions I could in the moment, but never thinking to stop and evaluate whether or not the person I was becoming was who I wanted to be or who I was designed to be.

…And then, I quit. I quit the career. I quit the rat-race and embarked on a multi-year journey that answered the call of over a decade’s quest for personal transformation. It was the scariest, most challenging, most exhilarating, most liberating experience. It transformed me into the person I needed to become to attain what I wanted, and it awakened in me the passion to navigate others through the process of designing their own lives and squeezing the juice from it! I bring the unique perspective of having felt the same confusion, fear, doubt, self-sabotage and ego that rises up when you dare to design your own life coupled with a bottom-line business mind that values the effective tools that leads to CHANGE and RESULTS, not to feel-good theory. So, if you’re confused & frustrated, you’re at the right place. If you’re afraid, that’s ok. If you think you lack something you need to live the life you want, know that is just an excuse.

I have learned that from your pain often comes your passion, from your frustration comes your future, and in your angst you will find your authentic self. It is at the intersection of these points that you will begin to learn how to live life to the full – financially, spiritually, physically and emotionally. But, it is not automatic. It is a choice. It is my privilege and my calling to provide you with proven strategies and tools to get clear, get equipped and get moving! It is true. Some people make a living; you can design your life!

With Passion!
