Living with multiple invisible illnesses—like Crohn’s, Ehlers-Danlos, Lupus, POTS, MVP, MCAS & ADHD—can feel isolating & make socializing challenging- through many of life's stages. From the confusing teen years into the juggling game of marriage & parenthood, on into the sometimes lonely empty-nester years, I’ve navigated these experiences myself & can help you find purpose, connection & fulfillment- even in a disconnected world. In this session, we’ll explore ways to manage expectations & navigate daily challenges, embrace self-care & create meaningful routines that support your well-being & sense of belonging. We can also simply unpack & unload the burden you're carrying in this world that doesn't always seem built to embrace emotions that can often feel bigger than our capacity to carry them. More than anything I care that you feel heard when you speak with me, I aim to be a safe space, where you can discuss whatever you need to lighten your mental load & find peace.

When it came to money, my world was small. I grew up hearing “get a real job,” work hard, save, spend less, and be grateful for any overtime. So that’s what I did. I worked myself tired for years and still didn’t feel financially safe. Where I’m from, working 2–3 jobs was normal. Nobody taught me about budgeting, investing, taxes, pay stubs, or 401(k)s. My go-to excuse was always “No one ever taught me this,” and it was true. Then the pandemic hit, I met people who didn't have work "real jobs" and they had a healthier view about money. In fact, they talked about it openly. That changed everything. It opened my eyes to how money actually works and how much control I could have once I understood it. Now, I'm not financial advisor, but I am someone who had to learn all of this the long way. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by money because it's confusing. I don' t blame you. I'm here to break it down so you know how money works and learn ways on how to put your money to work.

I was faced with making a decision about an unexpected pregnancy twice in my life. Once at 17 and again at 25. The circumstances were different each time. At 17, my parents chose for me and at 25, I had to go through my own process to choose what was best for me. Both times, the choice was to terminate the pregnancy. It was the right decision for me each time. Both experiences had significant influence on my life and choices moving forward. I had to go through different grieving and healing processes for each termination. One thing I would have benefited from is someone to talk to who had been there.

I've walked through hell and back. Addiction, chaos, and darkness were my reality for years, and I've made mistakes that could have broken me - but I survived! I've cried at the gates of hell, and somehow, the universe reached down and pulled me out because it knew I was strong enough to turn around and reach back in to pull just one more out - hacksaw ridge status - one more person, one more life. Today, I guide people who feel lost, trapped, or hopeless to transform their pain into strength, reclaim their lives, and create hope for themselves and those around them. Together, we turn survival into purpose and lived experience into empowerment.

I’ve walked the narrow road between awakening and despair — where faith was tested by dogma, and doctrine seemed to silence the Living Word within me. There were nights I doubted my worth and days I felt far from God, yet His Spirit never left. He tore through illusion, pride, and pain until only truth remained — His truth. If you, too, have wrestled between belief and becoming, know this: you are not lost. You are being refined. Let us gather as those once broken and now made whole through the grace of Christ — not by religion, but by revelation. Come share your story of becoming, and let the Living God be glorified in us all.

I am no stranger to stress! My background in health psychology and experience with the therapeutic process can help you achieve your goals of managing and coping with stress, in addition to regulating emotions. The mission isn't to rid our lives of stress - which is impossible - but to develop a healthy relationship with life's challenges and ourselves, and feel comfortable facing unpleasant emotions.

My parents would tell me I needed to be a doctor, or a lawyer or something of high profile in order to be valid and successful. Along these same lines, having been parentified as a child, I lost myself in expectations & demands that were placed onto me. Much later in life, after I had expressed my joy and hope for pursuing 'me', my father admitted that he never wanted that for me, but instead to simply 'fall in line and be like everyone else'. To say this was a shock to my spirit would be an understatement; but I never looked back - I simply knew what was within me was far greater than what was yet born into the world. Although it hasn't been easy, I am so happy to have committed to forging my own path and rediscovering my own personal essence; I've witnessed quite the miraculous along my path, and it is in having progressed through my own lived experiences that I will confidently profess: So Can You, my friend!

As a woman who grew up very religious , I’ve always held so much shame and guilt inside about who I am , or who I felt I should be or had to be. I want to connect with others and help them overcome that feeling the same way I did! Life is already hard enough and having so much pressure and stress inside really affects how you function day to day. I’m here to be a listening ear and as relatable as possible.

A supportive, non judgmental space for individuals navigating ethical non monogamy or non traditional relationship structures, grounded in consent, communication, and care.

I've walked through disillusionment and the dark night of the soul - when everything I thought I knew about life, success and even myself, fell apart. I did everything the world said would bring happiness & fulfillment, yet found only emptiness where meaning should have been. In that darkness, I was stripped bare - forced to face my pain, my conditioning, and the illusions I once called truth. But it was there, in the silence, that I began to heal. Piece by piece, I rediscovered what cannot be taken - the light within, the quiet resilience of spirit, the knowing that wholeness isn't something to earn but to remember. My journey through the depths became my awakening. Now I walk with others through their own darkness, helping them see that even when all seems lost, the soul is never without light, but only waiting to be found again.

Having been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, recurrent moderate, as well as being a man, I understand that our mental health as men is important and should matter to us. I can relate to feelings of anxiety and depression and being reluctant to seek help from a mental health professional.

Once I began to know better for myself and do better, I instantly felt the shift in the connections in my life. I felt more & more alone as what I thought held us together was no longer sustainable to maintain relationships with those from my past. That loneliness stepping into my new season of growth was intense, and made it feel so tempting to return to old habits that I knew deep down no longer aligned with my life's journey. Sometimes others were even hurtful towards me emotionally and verbally as we went our separate ways, and those feelings were difficult to navigate alone. Continuing along the path I knew was right for me, that I felt deep down in my gut and could see the proof of in my surroundings as more doors began to open was affirming, and I know I made the right choice as I am attracting the community that best supports the path that I am on today.

There was a time I looked around and thought, Is it just me? Everyone else seemed to be climbing the ladder, finding their calling, or at least pretending they had a 5-year plan. Meanwhile, I was drowning in a sea of doubt. I had checked off so many boxes. Got the degree, the job, the accolades, but still felt empty. The path I was on didn’t feel like mine. It felt like it was expected from me. Leaving my career in biopharmaceuticals wasn’t a snap decision. It was a slow unraveling. I stayed longer than I should’ve out of fear of failing, of disappointing people, of starting from zero. But eventually, I chose honesty over stability. I admitted to myself that I wanted a life with more meaning, not just more titles. I didn’t have it all figured out, and honestly, I still don’t. But I’ve learned how to sit with uncertainty without letting it paralyze me. I’ve started over. I’ve built new skills. I’ve redefined success on my own terms. And now, I help others do the same. If you feel like you’re stuck in a life that doesn’t reflect who you are anymore or if you're craving change but don't know where to begin you’re not alone. I’ve been there. Let’s talk about what’s holding you back, and what’s possible on the other side.

Life has thrown me more than my fair share of obstacles! Illness from childhood. Broken home. GenX childhood- so I basically raised myself AND my younger brother. Teen pregnancy... so married at 17. Abusive home, eventually into a single parent home. Latchkey kid. Yet.... I am still married, yes, to the same man, over 35 years later. We raised 3 kids into adulthood to be independent, and all college educated. I owned my own business and then ran a multi-level beauty company that I grew over 10 fold in 10 years, eventually having to leave due to my declining health, but I was very successful at what I did. I found successes and happiness in spite of a lot life has thrown at me. Resilience, creativity, resourcefulness, and the ability to get up and dust myself off to keep going even when I feel awful... all things I value, but I also value kindness, honesty, caring and friendship even more.

MOTIVATION IS HARD!!! I know sometimes getting started is the hardest part in getting anything done! At times it's so hard to get moving, even at a snail's pace, but once someone else is involved.... BAM, I'm moving at Mach 5 to get it done! Maybe you just want someone to talk to while you fold laundry. Maybe it would be helpful if someone is just sitting quietly while you do something really hard emotionally, like going through belongings of a loved one after they have passed. There are numerous situations where having someone to just BE with you can be helpful and I'd be more than honored to be that for you. We can talk about anything, or nothing, whatever you'd like and whatever might help you get through whatever task it is that you are having trouble starting. I get it. I have nearly earned a Master's Degree in procrastination! I'm learning little tricks to get myself moving, the top of which is the Body Double... someone to be with while I do the thing I don't want to do.

I didn't expect to spend so much time with myself in my 30s. Without a childhood bestie and/or long-term partner, the pandemic and associated remote work heightened the challenges of transient adult friendships and seeking a relationship offline. Bandage advice like joining Meetups may not work for the sensitive introvert. I'd love to help you navigate feelings of loneliness and share strategies for living contently and hopefully.

In high school I was passionate about fashion and dreamed of becoming a fashion blogger, but my family shamed me and I chose the “safe” path of graphic design instead. For 10 years I worked in corporate roles that gave me the chance to travel and live in incredible cities, but inside I felt empty — I wasn’t living my truth. In my free time I journaled and did inner work, rediscovering the passions I had buried. Fashion was still there, but I had also grown a deep love for wellness and nutrition. Earlier this year I became a Certified Holistic Health Coach, and now I help others reconnect with their true passions, nourish themselves inside and out, and create lives that feel beautiful, authentic, and aligned. If you’ve ever felt like you had to hide who you really are, I’d love to support you on your journey.
