A Whole New World

On a cold February afternoon, I quit my day job and quietly opened my first business. I spent entire sleepless nights teaching myself how to build a website--my new husband waking up to find me still sitting at the computer, faced drawn, eyes bloodshot, barely able to talk.

I spent years cold-calling, handing out flyers, networking, giving talks and services for free, driving far and wide to spread the news of my services, and building a business from the ground up without any playbook. Just a dream, and an enormous amount of belief in my vision.

That was 12 years ago.

Today, I'm launching the biggest remodel of my brand and my website to date. And it has left me feeling wildly nostalgic, proud, and overwhelmed with excitement for what's to come. This platform feels like home. Feels like the truest and most authentic version of who I am, and it streamlines the offerings I have remained passionate about all these years, while adding a really exciting new one!

This new, streamlined yet more expansive, platform that feels like a full embodiment of everything I offer and represent; like the true and authentic culmination of all these years in business.

My last full-on brand makeover was in 2018, in the wake of Blue Rooms, and that platform helped me grow in ways I could’ve never foreseen in the past eight years (I can’t believe it’s been that long). But in those eight years, so much has changed and evolved and alchemized for me. And this new site is a complete reflection of all the ways I’ve grown (and stayed the same).

Announcing My Partnership With TRUEPATH Consulting

One of the biggest changes that has come to pass is that—after the past decade+ as a solopreneur—I’ve built an incredibly deep and intentional partnership with TRUEPATH Consulting over the past year.

Shortly before my daughter was born, in the throes of pregnancy, I was connected with Chris Weiss, who wanted to write a memoir that chronicled his path as a burnt out executive who left the corporate world in an effort to re-center his wellbeing and his family. This momentous decision led him to the founding of TRUEPATH, and I had the honor of advising his entire journey, from idea to inception, and then from strategy to real growth, and now—a year and a half later—I’ve become a partner in that very company, shifting my role from consultant to team member.

As someone who loves and thrives on collaboration, TRUEPATH has offered me a space that honors what I’m great at: helping people do the difficult intrapersonal work it takes to surface authentic healing—healing that allows them to not only produce greater, more meaningful work but also allows them to rediscover their authenticity, their creativity, and their pride in the purpose-driven missions they serve.

Chris’s vision of an executive coaching company that sets itself apart by embracing wholistic modalities designed to support members by valuing them as whole people—by creating an awareness of and spaciousness for every facet of their lives; asking them to strip away the masks they wear and to meet their greatest potential through becoming integrated, regulated, empathetic leaders—spoke to me on so many levels. In a world that is quite literally dying for authentic connection, for innovation outside the toxicity of hustle culture, and for empathy inside the boardroom, TRUEPATH is paving the way for a new kind of leadership culture.

You can find specific information about the executive coaching program I’ve developed alongside TRUEPATH on this page of the website.

Storytelling Will Always Remain the Center of Everything For Me

At the center of this work, as is with everything I do, is still storytelling—the incredible, unrivaled healing and connective power of storytelling. I am more than excited to be integrating the platform I’ve built in the creative arts and in the writing and publishing industry into this groundbreaking work—to touch the minds of the teams of people whose ideas and products impact our everyday lives.

My Offerings

And don’t fret. I’ll never abandon my roots. If anything, I’m more focused than ever in my offerings. You can find me for the following:

01 | Book Coaching: Writing & Publishing

• My first love. I will still be accepting applications for The Author Architect program. Right now, I am accepting applications for openings in January 2027. And you can still find me over at Blue House Literary (we have so many exciting things in the works!), and we’ll be considering new submissions in the spring.

02 | Creativity Strategy & Executive Coaching

• As a creative strategist and executive coach partner at TRUEPATH Consulting, I’m helping C-suite leadership teams inspire groundbreaking innovation through intrapersonal work I am passionate about. And I’ll be growing the Empathetic Innovation program that centers creativity as the portal for sustainable innovation.

03 | Public Speaking, Art, & Advocacy

• You can find the topics I speak about, mostly grounded in mental health and social justice. Check back throughout the year for an updated calendar of appearances!

Calling All Organizations

If any of these offerings speak to you, or you work for an organization that might benefit from leadership guidance for executives who are ready to center their authenticity, leave burnout behind, foster an inclusive culture, and learn how to resource profitable creative innovation, reach out now!

I am also actively seeking out speaking engagements where I can support mental health workers, restorative social justice initiatives, and advocacy workers.

Gratitude

Many of you reading this have been here from the very beginning—from my babypreneur days—and that is not lost on me. You have stuck by me through every iteration of my business, rooted for me, left me wonderful and inspiring notes, and have provided me with a supportive community that has truly lifted me into the space I am now. And I have never felt more aligned. In every way.

So I just want to say thank you. I’m so grateful you’re here, and I have so much to share with you in this next phase. I always want to do this together.
