About

Like many, I followed expected education, relationship, and career timelines. By my 30^th birthday, I could check the boxes for completing a graduate degree, getting married, becoming a mom, and establishing my career.

As the years unfolded personally and professionally, I navigated major transitions several times. Some I chose and others chose me. Some I anticipated and others were curveballs coming in hard.

These major transitions propelled me to reinvent work + life often. For example, I

• Reinvented myself at work no less than three times — the most significant of which was leaving the security of working for someone else and becoming an entrepreneur.
• I reinvented myself in life because of motherhood, chronic illness, divorce, remarriage, caring for aging loved ones, and my father’s death.

Looking back on all these work-life transitions, I see patterns in how I navigated the next chapter. I’m currently designing the last 30-year chapter of my life and couldn’t be more excited.

I live my life on my terms and no longer sacrifice my wellbeing or potential to others’ expectations. Life is good!
