lead from where you are
lead from where you are
more than just a title, how are you showing up?
lead from where you are is my mantra, my catalyst, and the foundation of my practice.
Leadership isn’t a position or title that you hold, tenure, or bossing people around… leadership is a mindset. It is how you show up every single day. Even if you don’t believe you are leading others, you’re leading yourself first.
The foundation of leading from where you are is built upon a rule to operate by, a mindset and a framework that supports that mindset, and a strategy that produces results.
Grab life by the handlebars and steer your way around the potholes, over the speed bumps, and through the finish line of the situations in your life. Take back control of your life.
the #1 rule:
Do unto others as they would have done unto themselves. Meet people where they are and understand what drives them.

now, let's find your why
welcoming change
trust me, the next chapter is never as scary as it seems
Bryan [babe, as I call him] is the love of my life and my rock. After raising kids and now empty nesting, we’ve entered a new phase of life.
Navigating this new phase and putting US first has had its own challenges. We’re learning to prioritize our needs and goals and lean fully into phase two of our life; it’s exciting, and the opportunities are endless. We’re ready for it!!
I used to be stuck in comfort’s clutches, mistaking comfort for happiness, until the truth bomb dropped… growth starts where comfort ends. So I stepped out and when I did, I found my spark again. It’s time to tune into YOU and make a change.
It’s not been an easy ride. but all of our struggles have added color to our lives, and we are stronger, more patient, and more in love than ever.
I guess I’d say I’m more of the silly one, and I ‘might’ be a bit free-spirited (LOL). He keeps my feet on the ground when I’m overwhelmed. He’s my biggest fan and cheerleader when I’m trying something new or out of my comfort zone, and he supports my decisions and grand plans when I’m passionate about something. Thanks, babe, I couldn’t do this without you.
