Good morning,

On March 1, 2025, Starr—a dear friend, colleague, and a proud veteran—sent me a text that hit me like a punch to the gut.

"I'm not in a good place. I can't get off the couch today."

"What's up?" I asked.

She was triggered by a press release announcing an order calling for the immediate dismissal of transgender veterans from the military. Just like that—years of service, sacrifice, and courage erased.

Starr served 13 years as a gay woman in hiding, navigating a system that forced her to suppress who she was just to survive. And now, that press release dragged her back to that same dark place—afraid, invisible, unable to exist freely.

Hiding in plain sight—again.

Self-care is always my first go to, so I naturally knew what to do to support Starr. I drove to her house, picked her up, stopped to get coffee and took her to the water. We set up our chairs, took in the sun, the sea, the serenity and sipped our coffee in silence.

There were no words at first. Just the quiet. And then the words flowed about the ache of watching, again and again, as people’s dignity and humanity are stripped away.

This is not leadership. This is abuse. And we are so done with it.

This isn’t just about one policy. One group. One moment in time.
This is about every human being who has ever been dismissed, silenced, or devalued. This is about refusing to accept a world where people are erased because of who they are and how they were born.

💥 So together we created an online space. Not just to talk about it—but to stand up, speak out, and take action.
A space where people could bring their fire, their frustration, and their fierce commitment to change. A space where we can have conversations that matter. A space where no one has to hide in plain sight.

Starr is off the couch and has turned her fear into courage and inspired action.

And that day something shifted in me, too.

The Shift That Changed Everything

Up until now, my writing, coaching, and teaching have come from a quiet, reflective place.
Deeply introspective. Thoughtful. Gentle.

But after that day on the river with Starr, I woke up on fire.

🔥 Because now is not the time for quiet reflection.
🔥 Now is the time for passion, purpose, and inspired action.​
🔥 Now is the time to stop playing small and start owning our authentic power.

Because isn't that what life is really is about?
Not just stepping into something new.
Not just figuring out “what’s next.”

It’s about embracing your authentic power.​
It’s about knowing who you are and refusing to dim your light for anyone.​
It’s about choosing, every day, to live fully and unapologetically.

And from that fire came something new:

✅ The So Done With This Life Audit—a self-assessment to help you name what’s keeping you stuck and what’s next for you.
✅ The From Career to Calling Webinar—a bold, action-driven experience where I introduce my HUMBLE Pathway to guide you through transition and into a life and legacy of love, purpose, and impact.

Because waiting for the right time? That time is now.

If you’re feeling the shift—if you’re so done with playing small—I invite you to take the first step:
