I didn’t wake up one day and decide to change my life.
I slowly realized I couldn’t keep living the one I had.
For a long time, my life looked fine.
I was doing what was expected. I was responsible. I was reliable.
But beneath the surface, I was exhausted, stressed out, and quietly falling apart while trying to be the perfect mom and wife.
I could see my husband’s suffering clearly.
It took much longer to acknowledge my own.
I thought I was fine.
This site isn’t here to convince you to become someone new.
It’s here because I know what it’s like to lose yourself while doing everything “right.”
The breaking point didn’t look dramatic.
It looked ordinary.
It looked like chronic stress.
It looked like exhaustion and keeping busy.
It led to unhealthy coping with sugar, shopping, screens, and alcohol.
It created a marriage under strain.
It resulted in declining health... overweight, pre-diabetes, asthma, acne, and chronic digestion issues.
There was no single moment where everything fell apart.
There was just a growing awareness that this wasn’t how I wanted to spend my life — and the terrifying realization that I was stuck.
That’s when the real work began.
The awakening came with Every Small Step.
Before Costa Rica.
Before the career change.
Before coaching, retreats, or a book.
The first shift was internal.
I slowed down. I quieted the noise. I started listening to my body, my emotions, and the real me I had ignored for years.
I started taking small steps toward better health. I started prioritizing joy. I started learning, growing, and gaining confidence. Instead of just caring for others, I started caring for myself.
There was no finish line — but the small daily steps started adding up.
That momentum changed everything.
My husband and I walked this journey together
— sometimes in sync, sometimes out of step.
We rebuilt our health.
We repaired our marriage.
We questioned everything we thought we had to be.
Eventually, we made changes that once felt impossible.
But the work didn’t end there.
It never does.
Today, this is how we serve.
Today, I teach yoga.
We coach.
We host wellness retreats and lead cohorts.
We have conversations on our podcast.
We share resources & ideas on social media.
And we wrote A More Brilliant Life to offer both our story and the practical steps we used to reclaim our lives.
Not because we have it all figured out — but because we know how important the journey is.
You don't need to have a plan.
You just need to take one small step.
You don’t need to blow up your life.
You don’t need permission.
You don’t need to know what comes next.
If something inside you knows it’s time to change — you’re in the right place.
Welcome to your awakening.
