I worked in leadership and innovation, serving as an executive, building global teams, and co-founding a tech company focused on AI compliance. My career was built on creating what didn’t exist yet and solving problems from the front row.
But life can rewrite itself without permission.
What part of your world is shifting under your feet?
Unwanted change has a way of shaking our identity, our plans, and the version of ourselves we thought was steady.
I know that terrain.
For me, that disruption arrived through my body. After years of being dismissed, misdiagnosed, and unseen, I finally learned what had been unraveling me from the inside out: Craniocervical Instability (CCI), Chiari Malformation, and Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS). My body collapsed long before I understood why, and when the truth finally came, I chose to find a new way forward entirely.
Along that path, I began developing grounding rituals and simple tools that helped me steady myself in the hardest moments. These rituals shaped my healing and became a quiet foundation for rebuilding my identity from the inside out.
Both my decades of leadership experience and the years spent searching for answers now shape the work I do today. Rebuilding taught me how to reclaim my agency, steady myself again, and become someone I never expected but deeply recognize.
Now I help others navigate their own plot twists with clarity and compassion. Through my writing, speaking, and advocacy, I support people who are rebuilding in ways the world cannot see so they don’t have to do it alone.
If you’re finding your footing after unwanted change, you’re already part of this community. Let’s rebuild what the world can’t see, together.
If life handed you a chapter you never asked for, you’re not alone here.
