I thought I had to hold it all together.
For years, that was how I operated. I worked hard, built a career I was proud of, and kept everything moving, at work, at home, in every room I was responsible for. I was good at it. And I was exhausted in a way I couldn't quite name.
Then, in the same season, two things fell away at once. I lost my job. And I learned we couldn't have a family the way I had always imagined we would. I remember thinking, in that quiet that follows collapse, that I would never be employed again, and I would never have someone call me “mommy.”
I was wrong on both counts. But I couldn't have known that from where I was standing.
What I found in that groundlessness, slowly, impatiently, was something I hadn't thought to look for. A quieter kind of guidance. Not strategy. Not control. Something more like trust. Patience has never come easily to me. I still catch myself reaching for the outcome before the path is ready. But I have too many examples now of what becomes possible when I loosen my grip and allow trust to take its place.
That knowing is the root of this work.
The Work
Over two decades across leadership, advocacy, and corporate environments in Canada, I have sat with individuals and organizations at pivotal moments of change. I have seen what it costs when there is no room to pause, and I know that cost from the inside. I have also seen, again and again, what becomes possible when that room is finally made.
Whether I am holding a women's ceremony in Ottawa, facilitating a leadership reset inside an organization, or sitting with one individual in a threshold moment of their own, the work is the same. Presence before performance. Alignment before action.
My background includes co-authored books, podcast features, and a bLU Talk at UCLA. → see my work
There's no pushing through required here.
It is a space for slowing down enough to hear what is already rising in you, and letting your next step come from there.
If something here has found you, I would love to connect.
