Welcome to my world of transformation, resilience, and empowerment. I am a passionate business and life coach dedicated to helping midlife women and women over 50 navigate life's challenges and seize new opportunities. My own journey has been marked by adversity, but I've emerged stronger and more determined than ever, and I'm here to empower you to do the same.

Thriving Through Adversity

Life has a way of testing our limits, and I've faced my fair share of trials, including divorce, financial challenges, illness, and the loss of loved ones. While incredibly tough, these experiences have been my greatest teachers. These experiences are my teachers because they've shown me the power of resilience, the importance of self-belief, and the capacity we all have to rise above seemingly insurmountable obstacles to create fabulous opportunities! However, through it all, the most important thing I’ve learned is to feel the fear and do it anyway! That “it” can be anything that you want to do, change, or achieve.

Why Entrepreneurship?

Despite holding a master's degree and possessing a wealth of knowledge and expertise in my field of higher education, I've been denied promotions and overlooked for opportunities. I understand the frustration and disappointment that comes with these experiences and I suspect this may be your story too. However, these experiences are what pushed me toward investing financially in coach training, investing time teaching myself and investing money (lots of money) learning from others about starting an online business - from the ground up.

Ignore the glass ceiling and do your work. If you’re focusing on the glass ceiling, focusing on what you don’t have, focusing on the limitations, then you will be limited. ~ Ava DuVernay

I don’t care what anyone says - entrepreneurship - is THE optimal way to earn more money than you ever have or ever will working for someone else! And honestly, the entrepreneurial opportunities are so vast now that it’s mindboggling! You can start an online business selling your knowledge, expertise, physical items that you create, or selling items someone else creates.

Why Reinvention of Self?

I often say, “I’ve reinvented myself several times in this one lifetime!” After a very painful divorce, I became the single parent of two wonderful human beings; this was one reinvention which contained smaller, necessary reinventions. These smaller “reinventions” included earning degrees as an over 35-year old student while working full-time and managing several side hustles (baking, including decorated cakes, selling ladies suits and accessories, and event planning.). The one thing I want you to remember is that it is ok to reinvent yourself - as much as you need and want to! This requires that you check in with yourself - often - to determine if you are living the life YOU want to live, or another life society or somebody told you that you should be living. Naw, nada, no way!

Your Transformation Starts Here!

My mission is to empower midlife women and women over 50 to embrace their unique journeys and rewrite their stories. With my guidance, you'll create an online business which allows you to sell knowledge, wisdom, and expertise that others have been using to get rich, for years, in the form of a job! These jobs have:

  • Paid you just enough to pay the bills but not enough to travel to fabulous places, own property, give to causes that allow you to bless others, buy an article of clothing or home decor without worrying that if you buy this item, you may not be able to pay an essential bill, etc.

  • Caused you physical, mental, spiritual, financial, and emotional pain for a myriad of reasons.

  • Made you doubt yourself and your God-given talents, skills, and abilities.

  • Stymied your creativity and tried to turn you into a non-thinking, unempowered robot with absolutely no imagination and ideas of your own.

When you always follow in someone else’s footsteps you will never make an impression. ~ Unknown

It’s time to expand your inner strength and create a life that aligns with your passions and desires. I’ll be by your side as you set meaningful goals, develop actionable strategies, and celebrate your achievements. Let's embark on this transformative journey together. I can't wait to be your partner in achieving the life you've always dreamed of!

I believe in you girl!

P.S. One more thing. Personally, in the coaching world, credentials don’t mean a whole lot to me (results do) but for those to whom it’s important, I earned a Certificate in Personal Development Coaching from the CaPP Institute and a Master’s Degree in Education from Nova Southeastern University.

My Coaching System

The name of the coaching system I created is the B.E.G.I.N. System and here’s how it works:

I created and use the B.E.G.I.N. System with my business and life coaching clients.

  • Becoming is the beginning. On the business side of this coaching house, you become aware that you are smart, full of knowledge and are an expert at something. On the life side of this coaching house, something doesn’t feel right about your life and you realize you need to change something.

  • If you want to start or grow an online business or reinvent your life, we must evaluate where we are. You ask questions of yourself.

    An example business startup question might be: “What am I knowledgeable about and what are people always seeking my advice about?”

    An example life change question might be: “Where do I feel out of balance in my life?” Or, “What would really make me happy at this stage in my life?

  • Now, we’re ready to start the path to making it happen. You need to come up with a business idea for which you have a lot of knowledge and expertise and which you’ll enjoy sharing with others and having them pay you for the sharing. You need a business idea.

    You’ve decided what must change in your life so that you are happy, content, and balanced. You are going to create a life-changing goal.

  • You’ll initiate the change you must make by taking concrete action. This is where the rubber meets the road! You’re going to verbalize and write down concrete action steps which lead to achievement of your business and/or life goal.

    And even if you’re afraid, feel the fear and do it anyway!

  • Regardless of what happens, never give up. You may have to alter your course or take a brief pause (because life happens) but you must never give up on yourself.

    Once you achieve your goal, it may or may not look like it did when you originally started your quest for greatness but guess what? Who cares! You made it girl!
