My Story

"We CAN make a difference, Papa!" I reassured my father, who was expressing grief about the 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 wanted to build a career where I could have a positive impact and conformed to messages about how to appear competent and confident, especially as a woman. And it worked, mostly. Eventually, I became an international consultant leading projects for major 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 the unexpected call about my grandfather's death, things changed. I deeply regretted not spending time with him in his final years. All my striving felt meaningless. I began to see how I’d been sacrificing the most powerful and authentic parts of myself: my desire and capacity for human connection, my grounded intuition, my compassion for suffering and complexity - including my own.

Over time I learned to reclaim these qualities. I reoriented my career toward work deeply rooted in my unique gifts. I now communicate more authentically, lead from my head and heart, and feel less anxiety and more joy. Most importantly, I guide others on similar journeys: reclaiming what they already have within, and also developing skills to lead more powerfully in a world in dire 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 adventure - I've hiked, skied and trekked on four continents. 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, and being involved in meaningful community projects.
