What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to a blend of rigorous analytical thinking and deep intuitive insight. My ability to “speak both languages”—data and soul—allows me to build trust with clients who want more than vague spirituality yet seek something more aligned and human than traditional business advice. I’ve been in this field for several years, beginning with my professional background in data science and later stepping fully into astrology coaching after witnessing its profound impact on self-awareness and decision-making, especially for women entrepreneurs. My greatest accomplishment is building a coaching practice where women feel truly seen, validated, and more confident in who they are and how they are meant to show up in business. The transformation stories—watching clients own their strengths, rewrite their narratives, or pursue a more aligned path—are the outcomes I’m most proud of.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I have ever received is that my unique combination of gifts is not an accident, and I should stop trying to fit into boxes that were never built for me. That guidance gave me the freedom to integrate data science and astrology rather than choosing one or feeling the need to hide the other.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice to young women entering this industry is to honor both their logic and their intuition—and to stop apologizing for wanting more than a “safe” career. Trust your inner nudges, invest in your growth, and remember that your work is allowed to be both profitable and deeply meaningful.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest challenges—and greatest opportunities—in this field is the public skepticism and misunderstanding surrounding astrology and spiritual coaching. While the work can be dismissed as fluffy or unserious, that same skepticism creates space for ethical, structured, grounded practitioners to elevate the industry and make it more accessible to serious professionals seeking aligned support.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values that guide me in both my personal and professional life are authenticity, self-awareness, integrity, and alignment. I support women in building businesses that reflect who they are at a soul level—not what simply looks impressive—and I hold myself to the same standard. Outside of work, I’m deeply committed to personal development, spiritual study, and creative expression, including content creation and learning from other women who are building unconventional, soul-aligned lives. These passions continually enrich the work I do with my clients.
