My Self

My purpose is to live with joy each day regardless of my circumstances and to be the absolute best me I can be in every interaction.

The words that describe me are Inspirer, Adventurer, Overcomer, Catalyst, Persistent, lifelong learner. I’ve experienced my share of hurt, sorrow, and loss. My mom always said you can become bitter or better. I chose better and that has led me to a life-long journey of breaking familial, generational, and cultural toxic cycles. Everything I teach about I have been through. Through my journey, I re-discovered ME – the cool awesome wise courageous spirit that lives inside this female, human-shaped body. Today I live an adventure lifestyle (follow my travels on Instagram) and love leading the way for other women.

Here are a few of the life experiences I have had!

Being excommunicated from a toxic religion at the age of 15 and having to completely start over.

Unhappy marriage with addiction and co-dependency toxicity.

Divorce and starting over (again)

Being determined to role model new ways for my 3 kids as their primary parent.

Thriving as a female leader in a male-dominated workplace.

Leaving a job I loved in Corporate America to become an Entrepreneur

Facing every fear that got in my way….and living to tell about it!

Creating a peaceful, joy-filled life that I love.

Seeing my three amazing kids break generational cycles and thrive

My Family & Relationships

I believe thriving, joy-filled purposeful relationships can be created in all areas of life when we heal ourselves, connect to our own inner guiding wisdom, and take daily inspired action without attachment to outcome.

Today, I have thriving, harmonious, joy-filled relationships with my family, friends, and all those I meet.   It wasn’t always that way though!  As I healed my past trauma, connected to my own inner wisdom and learned to take action towards my dream, my relationship improved step by step.

I’ve had to make the tough decisions to leave behind a toxic religion, a 17-year marriage, and jobs that no longer served my greatest good.

The people and events in my life have become my own “Prabadakarma”  – that is my own uniquely designed life university preparing me for the work I was born to do.

I am MOM to three amazing humans who are now off experiencing their own unique journey in life.  They were my own personal catalysts for personal growth and change.

Workplace

I’m passionate about creating better leaders in the workplace – no matter what your title is you lead those around you.

I started my working career at age 7 when I begged my mom to let me have a paper route with my sisters! It’s changed a lot since then! As an adult, I spent 20 years in male-dominated industries (finance and trash!) I rose to the challenge of being a female leader having to earn her way amongst skeptical men. It wasn’t always fun, or easy. Yet, I loved leading people and teams.

Each new work opportunity came with its challenges. The micro-managing, domineering female dis-regarding boss. The passive boss. The female co-workers who wanted what I had without doing the work. The dysfunctional cultures that emerged when good leadership is missing.

No one taught me how to lead in those early years. I read every book I could to figure out and learn better ways. Then, gradually, I learned how to have difficult conversations, how to hold people accountable for their work, how to cast a vision and create cultures that grew effective teams. This was my jam!

Then a seed began growing in me – a desire to be able to use all of my gifts and talents in a new and meaningful way. It led me to become certified as a coach and prepare to go into my business for myself. In 2019, I made the leap. I was as prepared as one could be to dive into entrepreneurship. It’s not been exactly what I planned, but it’s been exactly what I needed and I’m so happy I’m here!

Lead the Way

The only way to lead and create permanent change is to first be the change yourself – and then role model that way to others.

It’s always been my personal philosophy that I had to do first what I expected others to do.  This philosophy led me to learn how to drive a garbage truck and get my commercial driver’s license and it lead me to pursue healing layer upon layers of trauma as a way to heal the people and relationships in my life.

Instead of blaming others for poor relationships, toxic workplaces, or family chaos – I teach women how to lead through their own actions.

I spent 20 years in the finance and waste industries leading teams and shifting cultures.  I’ve led the way in breaking generational cycles of addiction and co-dependency to give my children a better future, and I’ve led myself into designing a life I love.

Today, I lead women who are committed to their own healing, connection and using their experiences to help others.   If you know that you are here for a purpose, you know your experiences can help others find freedom then welcome home!

Our Mission at Transcending Limits is to grow, lead and nurture an ever-expanding international community of women dedicated to owning their greatest potential and living unsilenced lives as beacons and role models for family, friends, workplaces, and communities.  These change-makers are transitional characters uncompromising committed to ending dysfunction in one generation.  They shine as beacons of hope, joy and peace as they bring healing, connection, and inspired action to their families, friends, and workplaces.  We are each are changing the world one interaction at a time.

Guiding Principles

This is what you can expect from me when we work together:

100% respect for the uniqueness and worth of you as an individual — a judgement-free zone.

I believe you have all of the answers inside of you… I can  help you unlock and connect with them.

I will encourage you to lead by example… you can’t expect others to do what you’re not willing to do.

Your dreams, desires and goals are alive in your heart for a reason and you’re always provided (or can access) the resources to fulfill them.

You will find solutions to every challenge in front of you as you personally grow and expand to new levels.

You will get what you focus on (whether positive or negative).

You live in an abundant world. Your resources, potential relationships (friends, family, clients, employees) are unlimited. There is enough for every individual and business to thrive.

You have to know your WHY before you know your WHAT before you know your HOW and I will help you figure that out 😉

If it’s possible in the world it’s possible for you.
