Live Your Best Life with Joy!
My mission is to empower you to rise above adversity, embrace your gifts, and live your life with self-compassion and real joy!
There are few things I enjoy more than connecting with people, holding space, and witnessing profound transformation.
Gifts in Dark Packages
Gifts in Dark Packages is a collection of stories about courageously unpacking your darkest moments to uncover your true gifts: insight, self-compassion, and inner peace. I believe there is no better time than now to leave behind barely-surviving, pity-party practices and replace them with thriving, pivot-party, resiliency tools.
There is so much joy on the other side of pain, darkness, and adversity! If you are struggling with a difficult life transition — grief, work-life balance, relationship breakdown, or declining mental health — you will benefit from the “real-life” trauma counsellor strategies you will find in this book.
