In her sessions, she empowers her clients to determine the right plan for how they are going to move through change most effectively. She believes that you can overcome anything, you just need a plan and a little Hope.
#ON MY NIGHTSTAND
I am always reading at least one book related to human behavior, mindfulness, or self-love. Currently, I am reading everything written by Jon Connelly, as I am in training with his certification program, Rapid Resolution Therapy. For pleasure, I am reading The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I love how the author, Taylor Jenkins Reid, allows you to feel connected to such a legendary star and makes you feel as if you are in an old Hollywood movie.
#ON MY MOBILE
My clients are women going through difficult times—infertility, cancer, or divorce. They have access to me 24/7. My calendar changes frequently because of the unanticipated changes that occur when someone is in trauma. My clients are global, so FaceTime is how I conduct most of my sessions. I also keep up personally and professionally on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. I enjoy Instagram the most; it’s definitely where I find myself unconsciously consuming content.
#IN MY EARBUDS
I listen to podcasts incessantly. I am religious about listening to The SimplyBe. Podcast with Jessica Zweig, Manifestation Babe with Kathrin Zenkina, and Dear FoundHer with Lindsay Pinchuk. This week, however, I started listening to On Purpose with Jay Shetty. Shetty, a world-renowned coach, has such fascinating conversations with his guests. I am always left with a new perspective on how to live my life intentionally. In terms of music, you can typically find me listening to Fleetwood Mac, The Grateful Dead, or a mix on Spotify made by one of my teenage boys.
