Personal development has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My mother was deeply immersed in personal growth and spirituality long before it was common, so reflection, awareness, and inner work were part of my daily life. I learned early on that knowing the language of growth and actually living it are not the same.
As a teenager, I struggled with depression and eating disorders. That early tension - between who I was and who I thought I needed to be - followed me into my adult life. When I started receiving promotions and recognition in my career, the same patterns showed up in new ways: overextending, over-performing, and constantly trying to earn my worth. The external markers of success were there, but the internal sense of ease and fulfillment wasn’t.
What shifted everything for me wasn’t more mindset work or another program. I had done that, read the books, repeated the affirmations, and still found myself trapped in old patterns. The real change came when I stepped into identity work, learning to feel, integrate, and inhabit my experience fully. It’s in embodiment that insight becomes lived knowing, that presence replaces striving, and that leadership becomes rooted in self-trust instead of external validation.
That journey - from early struggle, through high achievement, to embodied leadership - shapes everything I do. Over the past decade, I’ve worked with leaders, founders, and teams across sectors and countries to cultivate presence, emotional capacity, and inner authority. My work sits at the intersection of ambition and wellbeing, helping people step into leadership that feels aligned, expansive, and fully alive.
