We’re tired of hustling for worth, stretching ourselves thin, and calling that success. In reality, overworking, over-giving, and over-yes’ing might get applause — but it costs us our peace, creativity, and joy.
That’s where this guide comes in. It gives you the tools and language to honor your energy, set compassionate boundaries, and make choices that support the life you're building — not the one you're just surviving. If you’ve been feeling pulled in a million directions and still not getting where you want to go, you’re in the right place.
So many ambitious women are realizing that “doing it all” isn’t the flex it used to be.

Who created this?
Before coaching, I spent two decades as a Naturopathic Doctor and PhD helping people make vulnerable, life-shaping choices about their health and families. Now I focus on something I’ve learned matters just as much: emotional clarity, self-trust, and choosing what’s right for you — not what you think you should do.
I’m currently writing a book, hosting the XO Conversations podcast, and probably dancing around my kitchen as you read this.
