Light the Way Forward
To Your Next Five Years
Hi there.
You may have found your way here after hearing me speak at a conference about how I broke free from my unfulfilling and overworked life as a Washington lawyer. I shared how I envisioned a new creative world for myself, aligned with who I am and what I value.
A terrible boss and my mother’s illness pushed me to stop making excuses and finally pursue what I truly wanted. I let go of guilt for not having been braver, faster, bolder and wiser. Now, I share my story to inspire fresh starts and dim the light on the well-trodden path of regret. A simple conversation with my mom, led to a song, upon which I built The Next Five Years Framework.
It all begins with knowing and staying true to who you are and what you value. Maybe you’re frustrated with your life or career and don’t understand why you find yourself stuck in the same place year after year. Maybe you live with the burden of regret. I believe in the power to change your story and change your life. Clarity, peace of mind, personal fullfilment and sustained success are within your reach. That’s why we’re getting laser focused on the next five years.
“I’m here to tell you that I believe in you, and I believe that your life has prepared you for your what’s next.”
