The Awareness to Action Pathway: Disrupt Unhelpful Patterns and Unlock Your True Potential for Joy, Connection and Success

We were taught to tie our shoes, solve math problems, and drive—but never how to handle uncomfortable emotions, have tough conversations, set boundaries or manage the ups and downs of work and life.

Here’s the thing, most of us are navigating adulthood without the essential skills needed to accomplish our goals, experience well-being and truly thrive. This missing toolkit fuels overwhelm, stress and struggle at work and home—leaving us avoiding change, battling poor communication, feeling stuck and more.

As a mental health therapist, author, business owner, and mother of four adult children, I've seen how lacking these skills impacts us all. My own transformation from an anxious, reactive person to someone who navigates challenges with calm, confidence and connection has inspired countless others to do the same. I've taught these skills to attorneys, parents, educators, volunteers and more—and witnessed the profound shifts they make when empowered with the right tools.

In my keynote, I provide practical, evidence-based strategies to help you be mentally, emotionally, and relationally well—transforming your workspaces, homes and lives. It’s never too late to learn these skills! Remember, life’s most beautiful moments often come from leaning into the uncomfortable so let’s equip you with the tools to thrive, no matter what life throws your way.
