Simplicity Life Coach

In my early twenties, my primary ambition was to conquer corporate America – to climb the ladder, make money, and wait for retirement so I could enjoy it. And so, that’s what I did – I got my MBA from a top tier business school, worked grueling hours, and pushed for ongoing career growth. I became a Chief Financial Officer and helped grow companies with notable success. I felt like I should be at the mountaintop, but it certainly didn’t feel that way. I was tired, disconnected from myself, and wasn’t sure what I was working toward.

I enjoyed the people I worked with, employees I helped develop, and processes I brought to each company, but being neck-deep in financial statements every day just wasn’t cutting it. I finally realized the disconnect was that while people and processes were central to my core values, my (exhausting) day job was just a means to an end for me.

I needed to align what I was doing on the outside with what I valued on the inside – I needed to focus and simplify. I developed a framework for aligning my thoughts and actions with my values and used that framework in many areas of my life. I found more calm, got healthier, found more presence with my family, and just felt more freedom in my life.

As friends and family noticed the changes, I found myself becoming a source of guidance for positive changes in others’ lives. Seeing how I could positively impact others, I decided to step into the role of a coach and accountability partner, and walking alongside others on their journey towards greater satisfaction in their lives has become one of my great joys.

The process I took (and share with others) is how to simplify. Sometimes that’s physical and mental clutter. Sometimes it’s a healthier lifestyle, simpler approach to budgeting, or new ways of thinking about things. At its core, though, my process is about simplifying thoughts and actions to align with underlying values. Anything that either doesn’t serve you or takes you further away from your values should be removed or significantly reduce.

Simplicity has enriched my life in ways I could never have imagined, and my passion lies in sharing its transformative power with you. The path to simplicity isn't always easy, but the rewards far outweigh the challenges.
