Why is this subject, “13,” important in the world?
We don’t have to look far to see how much pain and suffering surrounds us. So much of the oppression and violence we are seeing now stems from people believing they are capable of controlling others. When a person is placing all their attention on what others are doing, they have cut themselves off from their own heart and their own ability to transform. They believe that they can not change, that they are completely right and that they can not let go of their own pain and suffering, so they look for anything and everything outside of themselves to blame. The only way they will feel relief is if they can control what other people are doing. But this is a losing battle because no amount of control will ever fill the emptiness this person feels inside. Transformation is an inner game, and while we all need support along the path, at the end of the day, the responsibility lies with us as individuals. Change is actually constant. This is a basic truth of our natural world and of our humanity. We don’t stay the same, much like the seasons change, and we can laugh one day and cry the next. Transformation is our natural state, it is our birthright. And when we fight against our natural state, we create suffering, oppression, violence, and war. Transformation can be a radical revolution because when a person wakes up and realizes they can change, they will release their desperate grasp of control and start to see the world and others through a lens of possibility, partnership, and compassion. With transformation, we can come to new agreements and find ways to move forward that affirm life instead of killing it.
What is the pressing issue right now, and how are you addressing it?
The pressing issue is leaders, influencers, and people in power who are abusing their position and teaching control over compassion. I help Influencers, Public Figures, Speakers and Artists to create an impact and change the world through a Powerful Presence. A Powerful Presence is when you can stand in front of your audience, whether that is one person or millions, and be ok. It means you are settled in your body and are not seeking approval or trying to control your audience. With a Powerful Presence, you are accessing unstoppable confidence within and are able to speak boldly, free of nerves or a loud inner critic. This has a profound effect on your audience because they also relax. Essentially, a settled body settles bodies. Influencers, Public Figures, Speakers, and Artists have been given the microphone in our society. They have the most content on social media and are most likely who have written most of the emails you are reading. So, by teaching them to interact with you using a Powerful Presence, you, in turn, pass that on to everyone in your life. It becomes a ripple effect that is fast, effective, and life-changing.

What is your background in this subject?
The subject of my book is transformation. While my book tells the story of the first big life transformation I went through in 2013, since then, I have spent the last ten years on an ongoing journey. I have completely transformed my life from what it was. Ten years ago, I was going through a devastating divorce, and now I am married to an incredible man and experience a level of partnership I never had before in my life. This year, I created a family after an eleven-year journey that included failed IVF, miscarriage, and an adoption falling through. I have also healed five years of chronic pain from environmental illness, hypersensitivity, and migraines. I created a home that I feel amazing in and finally gives me the space I always longed for after years of living in toxic and loud environments. I’ve transformed the major areas of my life: love, family, home, and health. I have been a student of transformation ever since 2013, learning countless modalities, techniques, and magical practices that have allowed me to be a living expert on this subject, and all of these tools are what allow my clients to have life-changing results and bring their fearless visions to life.
What is something that most people don’t know about you?
My father was a fighter pilot in the Air Force, so we moved around a lot when I was growing up. This was incredible because I got to experience different cultures and live in other countries. One of those was England, which we lived in twice, but the second time we lived there, I was a pre-teen and had the amazing opportunity to learn how to ride horses. I did dressage and cross-country jumping and loved it. I stopped riding horses when I was 14 because I became very serious with my dancing, but horses and horseback riding remain in a very special place in my heart.
What are your passions outside of your career?
I love to birdwatch! During migration season, you will commonly find me with binoculars around my neck and staring at anything with wings. I love being outdoors and hiking in nature and parks. As my first career before becoming a Confidence Coach was as a professional performer, I love great storytelling. I am happiest seeing a fantastic TV show, movie, or theater that has captivating characters and great writing. And lastly, I love all things Harry Potter, Lord Of The Rings, and Game of Thrones. Bring on the dragons!
Are there any social causes that you believe in and support?
I am very passionate about consumers being able to access nutrient dense food and be educated on the food industry and the prevalence of chemicals in our food system, homes, and basic goods. Due to my five-year journey with chronic pain, I learned so much and made radical changes that really allowed me to reclaim my vitality and create a home for my family where everyone thrives. I hold this vision for every home, regardless of economic standing. I hold the vision of full transparency and consumers taking back their rights and claiming their own health.
What is next for you?
13 is really only the beginning! While this was my premiere book, I am now clear there are many more books to come, covering these other transformations I have been through. I have already booked speaking gigs for 2024, and will be launching a virtual book tour come January. This next year will bring expansion to my business with more opportunities for clients to work with me and purchase services that allow them to transform their lives.
