What does it really mean to feel free?
In this heartfelt conversation with Nurse Nell, I open up about my journey from being an “insecure overachiever” checking all the boxes of success—Fortune 500 executive, high salary, impressive title—to finally feeling safe, grounded, and free in my own skin.
We talk about:
- Why external success can still leave you feeling trapped and miserable
- The moment I realized I couldn’t “perform” my way into peace
- How therapy and coaching helped me process decades of unspoken shame, fear, and grief
- Why emotional mastery starts with nervous system safety
- How I now lead myself—and my clients—from wholeness, not hustle
- The power of improv, red lipstick, and walking your dog to change your life
You’ll hear the truth behind my transformation and how I now help high-achieving women become the CEO of their inner life—so they can lead with calm confidence and create success that actually fulfills them.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but still not feeling right—this one’s for you.
