THE JOURNEY

2014: Finding My Wings

I'd had enough of being bullied, judged, and made to feel worthless at the Montessori school where I worked. So I quit. I started giving extra lessons from home and began building something of my own.

For the first time, I was choosing what I built.

2015: Stepping Into Online Business

I discovered the world of online business and my childhood dream of becoming an author suddenly felt possible. The people close to me were critical. Doubtful. But I kept moving forward anyway.

2016: Sharpening My Skills

I started a blog to develop my writing. I began editing books. Then writing them - fiction, non-fiction, anything that stretched me creatively. I was building systems for book writing, discovering I had a gift for creating frameworks and processes.

What I loved most? Helping others outline their books and find their own writing flow.

2019: Adding More Weight

By now, I wasn't just doing extra lessons. I'd added a small homeschool at my house - 10 students. Then I launched a small online program in September. Plus the book coaching.

It was starting to feel like too much. But I didn't know how to make it easier. I just kept building.

2020: The Pandemic Shift

When the pandemic hit, everything moved online. I shifted all my students to virtual learning. Hired a team to support me. Created curricula and materials so we could serve ages 6-18.

I was scaling. Managing people. Building systems. Coaching authors. Trying to be steady - the rock everyone could lean on.

In both businesses. In my personal life. Everywhere.

2021: The Cracks Begin

I had surgery for ovarian cysts. I promoted a staff member to COO and she took over client communications. It freed up time - time I spent in and out of doctors' offices trying to figure out why I still felt so unwell.

I was still showing up. Still holding it together. But barely.

2023: The Breaking

Mid-2023, I fully stepped away from all work.

My body had been trying to tell me for years: you can't be the rock forever. You can't work 24/7 like that previous teaching job taught you. You can't hold everyone else up while ignoring your own capacity.

I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia.

The school I'd built? It runs beautifully now. Without me at the center. The systems work. The team works. And I had to learn what to do with space I didn't think I'd ever have.

2025: Building Something New

I came back in September 2025. But not to what I left.

I spent years believing freedom came from building better systems, working smarter, optimizing everything. And yes, I loved creating systems and processes - that part of me hasn't changed.

But I learned something harder: Freedom doesn't come from doing more. It comes from flowing better.

The school taught me to build frameworks. Breaking taught me that frameworks aren't enough if you're still trying to be everything to everyone.

Now? I work with moms who are carrying too much. Who've been taught to be the rock. Who are building businesses while managing households, health challenges, and the weight of everyone else's expectations.

I help them find flow - not through another productivity system or framework, but through learning to work with their capacity, their season, their bodies.

Because you shouldn't have to break first to learn how to breathe.
