Your career is not owned by the market, your manager, or even your Mom's expectations. You are the one who gets to choose your impact in business. You know your story and your why. Now, it's time to own every layer of it.

Knowing your "why" not only feels empowering but also enhances your ability to serve others. No one can do this for you. Take the time to uncover your "why" and let it guide you towards the work that lights you up. The work you were designed to deliver.

Your career story is an anchor that will help while reclaiming your power as an authority in the work you do. It provides clarity on what works for you and what doesn’t, allowing you to make informed decisions about your future.

After two months of grinding over 50 distinct resumes being sent out (literally) and coming up with anything but roses, I finally found my new space.

Community members, staff, and volunteers are all meant to grow up and out. Community members arrive for support and eventually they will no longer need the support you offer - which is how it should be.

When the version of myself from before 2021 wants to jump in the driver’s seat, I take the keys away and tell her again we’re not doing that anymore.

I decided to give the space she needed to micromanage, double check my work, and question my processes. The goal was to show her through consistent actions and empathy that she could trust a colleague again.

I started thinking the variety of my experiences had me being too much and I needed to figure out how to shrink myself. Yet my truth is that I’m fiercely here for the first cry to the last call and every breath in between.
