Initially, in my earlier years, it was just wanting to make a change and helping people, and I think that's still very much true, but I think it's even a larger capacity for me. Specifically, because now that I am a mom, I think I see things in a different lens. It's not just helping people, it's helping someone's child, you know, whether they're an adult or not, that is someone's child. Seeing my kids and some of these adults now, it's like, I want to help in any way I can, just to know that hopefully down the line, either A, they receive the help that they need if I'm not here to help them, or B, they want to continue this legacy of helping people in whatever way they see fit.

I would say follow your intuition. It will never steer you wrong. I think sometimes, as a young professional, you're given these ideas on what trends are out there, and which way you should go, what niche you should go towards, and that may not be for everyone. You may find yourself really unhappy or unfulfilled in going with the niche markets. I just always say, follow your gut and follow what feels good to you. If you feel good, that means you're aligned with your purpose. And so that's what I lead with for my own personal motivation.

I think we're at such an interesting time as a society. A lot of people feel very confused on connection with anyone right now. I think people are feeling very polarized and not really knowing who to talk to and who you want to entrust your views, or your morals, or anything like that. People feel kind of confused on how freely they can speak. And I think that's kind of where we land in coaching, too, because I have some clients who I feel have a little bit of a wall up, because they're not sure how much they want to share, and I think that kind of hinders the coaching process and forming those relationships with new clients.

My work and personal values deeply intertwine for me. I would say intentionality, compassion, and love. I always lead with love. I think those are my top 3.
