My Story

"We CAN make a difference, Papa!" I reassured my father, who was expressing grief about harm being done to the earth. At eight years old, I was full of optimism and compassion - cartwheeling joyfully through the house while also aching deeply for those suffering.

Bit by bit, I learned to sideline these qualities. I conformed to messages about how to appear competent and confident, especially as a woman. It worked… mostly. I eventually became an international consultant leading projects for organizations working on social and economic challenges around the world - my dream work.

But behind the scenes, I struggled. I was striving, self-doubting, and burning out. I treated myself like a big old pick-up truck, taking on the weight of the world, but never quite measuring up. I was bringing a fraction of my true wisdom and power, yet felt drained trying to meet my own misguided standards.

When I got an unexpected call about my grandfather's death, things changed. I regretted not spending time with him in his final years. All my striving felt meaningless.

I began to see I’d been sacrificing the most powerful and authentic parts of myself: my desire and capacity for human connection, my grounded intuition, compassion for suffering and complexity - including my own.

Over time I learned to reclaim these qualities. I reoriented my career toward work rooted in my unique gifts. I now communicate more authentically, lead from my head and heart, feel less anxiety and more joy. My great passion is now guiding others on similar journeys: reclaiming the wisdom they already have within, while developing skills to lead more effectively in a world in great need of authentic, values-driven leadership.

A Bit More About Me

I am a French American woman, born and raised in Boulder, Colorado. I love nature, mountains, and outdoor adventures. During a trip to walk the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, I met the love of my life and now live in Barcelona with my partner and our two daughters. We love good music, good food, family dance parties, and being involved in meaningful community projects.
