Before you became the business titan you are today, enlighten us about the thrilling adventures of your pre-business life.

I spent most of my career as an Executive Assistant. This career gave me the discipline and skills needed to efficiently run a business. I have lived in multiple states including Virginia, Colorado, New Mexico, Washington, and Arizona. I am an avid hiker and bookworm. I also love riding motorcycles, which gives me the opportunity to experience nature without the restrictions of being inside a “cage.”


Could you elaborate on the nature of your initiative/business/current role, highlighting its purpose and the ways it benefits people?

I have found that we have to have a healthy relationship with ourselves first, which gives us the ability to set high standards and boundaries without guilt. As well, I want women who have experienced narcissistic abuse to know that they are not alone and can heal.


What has been the response of the users/consumers towards your venture? (You can also talk about your recognitions/achievements here)

Women have felt validated and heard when I confirm that they are not crazy and that they have been abused by narcissists. Acknowledging their experience has given them the ability to start the journey of healing.


Having a strong support system is essential for your well-being. We would love to know who your biggest supporter is. Share with us and let’s celebrate the amazing people in our lives who make a positive impact.

My biggest supporter is my intuitive coach. I started working with her in January and since then have had a major energetic shift. She has helped me to be more in touch with my intuition and to lead my business from a place of alignment.


As a woman entrepreneur, what changes do you hope to see in the world and what opportunities are you seeking?

I want to see more women heal from narcissistic abuse and go from having toxic relationships to having healthy relationships that love and support them in the way they deserve.


Women now stand shoulder-to-shoulder with men in the workplace, breaking through glass ceilings to reach the top. What are your thoughts on women’s leadership today?

Women are powerful leaders. The only glass ceilings that exist are the ones we allow. We have always had the power to be successful. It’s just a matter of claiming that success.
