A messy
perfectionist.
Sound familiar?

I'm a former nurse and firefighter turned storyteller, author, edutainer, and messy perfectionist.

I'm a woman who knows what it feels like to live a life that looks extraordinary... and still feel the quiet ache that something is missing.

Burnout. Sleepless nights. Hyper-independence. The constant striving, proving, and pushing through.

Now I create experiences, conversations, and communities for women who are ready to laugh more, trust themselves deeply, and create lives they love to wake up to.

Yes, there will be a whole lot of laughing.

Read my story
Perfectly imperfect.
Always welcome.
Belief #1

Life is too short to do something that doesn't bring you joy.

Belief #2

We are all perfectly imperfect beings and shouldn't be afraid to show our flaws.

Belief #3

You are in control of your thoughts, actions, and destiny.

Choose your adventure...What lights you up?

Come for the fresh air, an honest conversation, or a laugh that gets away from you.

Reignite
Your Spark

It's time to Reignite Your Spark if...

  • you get your exercise by jumping to conclusions, dodging responsibilities, pushing your luck and spinning... tales about working out!
  • your idea of multi-tasking is checking email while cleaning the toilet OR juggling a glass of wine, chatting on the phone and throwing laundry in the dryer.
  • the main ingredient in your cooking is a splash of resentment with a smidgeon of guilt.
