There are moments, for unbeknownst reasons at the time, that stay with us and change us forever.
For me, it was when I was 22, fresh out of university. I had just returned from an invigorating semester abroad in Sydney, Australia feeling like the world was mine – only to find myself spending the entire summer on my mom’s couch scouring LinkedIn for jobs.
After 2 months of endless searching, I landed my first big-girl internship. “I did it”, I thought to myself. All my hard work and decades of being in the school system had paid off and I was ready for my great ascend up the corporate ladder.
Fast forward to my first day of work, I put on the most lifeless pair of grey dress pants and a stiff, cardboard-like blouse in the name of being *profesh* and made my way to the train to head downtown Toronto.
It was this moment to come that would change everything for me, forever.
As I boarded the train, I looked around to find a sardined sea of people in their stiff "“profesh” attire. Half were sleep standing, the other were doing that sleep head bobbing thing; both resisting the day ahead and trying to catch any last ounce of sleep they could get. They looked miserable and exhausted. You could tell they’ve been doing this sh*t for a long ass time.
It was in that moment I recall saying to myself:
”Hell. Fucking. No”.
This would not be the next 40 years of my life. Some might say I was naive, but there was no denying this deep knowing that there was something more; life and work didn’t have to feel this way.
I lasted 1 year working in marketing before deciding to call it quits and going back to school to study holistic nutrition, which had been a deep love of mine since I was a kid.
My career has evolved since then, from being a Holistic Nutritionist, to a thriving Intuitive Eating & Body Image business, to now, as a Mindset Coach for Current & Aspiring Women Entrepreneurs.
But, my mission has remained the same –
to live a well-lived life and do work that you love and feel your absolute best while doing it.
If you are ready to make the ordinary, extraordinary;
The impossible, possible;
The unrealistic, a reality;
You’ve come to the right place. I’m so pumped to be by your side for the ride.
Ready to make your life & business
as juicy as you once imagined it?
