Once upon a time …
In a small logging town in Southern Oregon, a quiet but fiercely curious girl dared to believe there was more to life than the well-trodden path before her. This intuition was my guide, and it led me to carve a life that defies convention.
At 17, I remember sitting in a sea of classmates filling out college applications, choosing majors, and talking about career paths like they knew something I didn’t. I felt paralyzed, overwhelmed by the pressure to map out my life when I was still hungry to explore.
How was I supposed to know who I wanted to be when the world was so big, and I had barely scratched its surface?
While the world around me was filled with simplicity and routine, my heart whispered of adventure, purpose, and the extraordinary.
Living with AuDHD has only amplified this drive for exploration.
My brain craves research, deep dives, and gathering every piece of data before making a decision—but it also needs that clarity fast. I’ve always needed my work to be more than just a job. It had to feel like play for my brain—rewarding, aligned, and fueled by purpose.
But that wasn’t always my reality.
Make it stand out.
At nineteen, I packed my shyness and dreams and headed to Chicago, seeking what I couldn’t quite name. Along the way, I became a wanderer—moving from Norway to Italy and back again, pursuing creative ventures like photography and branding that gave me a glimpse into others' unique stories.
Yet, despite my outward success, a quiet, gnawing discontentment persisted.
I was burned out, lost, and yearning for a deeper alignment.
For years, I followed paths that made sense on paper but drained the life out of me.
I felt the burnout creeping in, wondering if there was a way to contribute to the world without sacrificing myself in the process.
I tried on identities like costumes—nanny, expat, travel photographer and blogger, web designer, photographer—each revealing pieces of who I was but leaving me yearning for more.
It wasn’t until I stumbled upon the Enneagram and other transformative personality systems that the pieces of my identity began to click into place. I saw myself for the first time—not just the creative, the dreamer, or the achiever—but as someone deeply wired for understanding, innovation, and guiding others toward their truest selves.
This self-awareness led me to psychology, research, and purpose-building frameworks that revolutionized my life.
I wasn’t always doing this purpose-driven work.
But my greatest transformation came with the unexpected. After years of infertility, at the age of 37, I found myself holding the beautiful paradox of becoming a mother while walking away from a path to medical school. Motherhood was not what I planned, but it was what I needed. It revealed my grit, my capacity for fierce love, and my commitment to advocating for the vulnerable—lessons sharpened as I navigated life with my neurodivergent son.
Through the fires of reinvention, I emerged with clarity: my mission is to empower wild hearts to break free from expectations, connect with their genius, and create soul-aligned contributions that light them up. Whether it's a pivot, a purpose project, or a reimagined career, I’m here to guide you toward what you’ve always been capable of—living a life where success and meaning coexist.
What do you do?
My soul offers are the culmination of my life’s work. It’s where science meets soul, giving you a structured pathway to transform scattered dreams into aligned action in under two hours. It’s the guidance, education, and skill building I wish I’d had when I felt stuck and overwhelmed, chasing every spark but finishing nothing. It’s the tool that turns potential into purpose.
So, if you’re ready to shed the weight of shoulds and embrace the fire of who you truly are, I’m here to help you step boldly into your next chapter.
Together, we’ll take that spark inside you and ignite a wildfire of transformation.

Née. Grew up in an old logging town in Southern Oregon. Graduated High School, with a gifted film camera in hand.
Quit college (the way we’ve been taught to arrive at our vocation is absurd!) and moved to Chicago on a whim at 19 to follow a hunch.
Nannied for the best fams + kiddos and vagabonded the world. Diagnosed and treated for PCOS and infertility. Lived in Italy and Norway. Started a photography and brand development business. Ya know, lived that 3rd line life.

Graduated summa cum laude with a B.S. in Psychology with an award for social, eco, and neuro psychology research and pre-med in my pocket.
Then just a blip later, after allll that work … discovered I was pregnant after 13 years of infertility (Keto baby 🌈).
Intermission.
Had a strong intuition about starting an Enneagram brand and podcast.
Double Aries, Ego Projector son Arlyss was born (3-23-18). Convinced my BFF to start the podcast with me. Amassed 50k followers in both communities in a few months.
Created offers from the inside-out, like life purpose readings and 1:1 sessions, that helped people uncover why they felt burnt out and unfulfilled, shifting their career trajectories and deepening their alignment.
This journey illuminated a new path, aligning my role with my soul’s true calling and allowing me to guide others in their transformative quests.
