There’s a moment in a woman’s life when everything looks “right” on paper—
the career, the accomplishments, the titles.
She’s built the life she was told would fulfill her.
And yet…
she wakes up and feels like she can’t go on.
Not in a dramatic, burn-it-all-down way.
Just in a quiet ache that says:
“This isn’t enough. And I don’t even know who I am anymore.”
If that’s where you are right now, I see you.
I was there too.
At the time, I had what most people would call success.
I was productive. Professional. Capable.
But behind the scenes, I was quietly unraveling.
I didn’t have the words for it then, but now I know what was happening:
I was awakening.
And awakening, for me, started out painful.
I didn’t feel free. I felt stuck.
I didn’t feel strong. I felt alone.
And I didn’t have anyone to talk to about it.
It wasn’t until I began working with a coach that things shifted.
She didn’t give me answers—
she gave me questions.
Big ones.
The kind that make you squirm, and think, and then finally… move.
Those questions, along with books and slow, steady reflection, helped me begin to imagine something else.
Not just a different job or routine—
but a different way of being.
And little by little, I built it.
Now, I run an ice cream trailer, create and sell my art, teach college students, and speak and coach women just like you.
I also do something I never used to give myself permission for:
I rest.
I take 8–12 weeks off each year just to be with myself.
To reflect.
To breathe.
To stay connected to the woman I fought so hard to find again.
Some of my clearest thoughts happen while I’m cooking.
Chopping, stirring, tasting—it’s where I hear my own voice clearest.
It’s where I ask myself,
“Am I still living in alignment?”
“Am I still being sovereign in my own life?”
Because that’s what I want you to know:
You do not need to stay stuck.
You can transform your life.
You are not powerless.
You are not broken.
You are sovereign.
You get to decide what your life looks and feels like.
You get to come home to yourself.
And if you’re just beginning, if it feels hard and messy—
That’s okay.
You’re not doing it wrong.
You’re just waking up.
And that’s a beautiful place to start.
