I was the good corporate girl for almost four decades.

I followed every rule and never made waves.

It landed me in the ER.

I’m telling you this because I want to prevent other women from staying stuck in a toxic system.

People pleasing, perfectionism, and poor boundaries are just some of the habits that keep you stuck there and you’ll carry them into your new business if you’re not aware of them.

You’re a woman who wants to build something of her own.

You know there’s something more for you outside of corporate, but you’re not sure how to leave, and you’re tired of the performance.

If that’s you, let’s talk about what your future possibilities are.

Are you ready to jump from corporate employee to becoming your own boss? Or maybe you recently made the leap?

You might be dreaming about your exit from corporate to go solo.

Maybe you think the business setup is the hardest part…but it’s not.

The real challenge to becoming an entrepreneur is the culture shock.

I spent nearly forty years in corporate and learned that the hard way after the layoff.

So I made this free guide that covers 20 things that will catch you off guard when you make the leap and mentally prepare you for what’s to come.

Grab the guide and if you find yourself in these pages and want help navigating the transition, let’s talk.

I’d love to help you figure out your next steps.

The suggestion to “Bring your whole self to you job” is a corporate trap.

In my 37 year career, that was a problem because it meant that I was speaking up when I saw how unfair things were.

I was bringing creative solutions to problems they never wanted to solve.

I was talking about the real life I had outside of the office, and was met with judgement.

So, no...”bringing your whole self to your job” is terrible advice.

It’s basically putting a target on your back.

It shines a bright light on how much you don’t fit into their “culture”.

And for many years, I learned the hard way and put on a mask to try to fit in, until it made me sick inside.

Now as an entrepreneur, I bring my WHOLE, UNFILTERED self to my work.
It’s my SUPERPOWER.
I live AUTHENTICALLY.
And make money doing it, without someone telling me how much is too much.

If you’re tired of wearing a mask and want to plan your exit and build something that is a true reflection of who you are and how you want to serve the world, let’s talk. 💕

Sometimes you just need an objective observer 👀 to help you to figure out why your business is not growing.🌱

🤔 Is your offer unclear or not priced properly?
🤔 Do you struggle to prioritize because of all the things?
🤔 Are you avoiding marketing or talking to people?

I got you! 🥳

I have a very special talent for looking at a situation and immediately zeroing in on the problem, and coming up with solutions with you.

I offer a 90-Minute Clarity & Strategy Session where we look closely at your business, see what needs to shift, and build a realistic 90-day plan that fits your life and goals.

Let’s find the answers together!

Send me a DM and let’s get you moving again!

This moment was my reminder to never allow the stress of a corporate job to push me to the edge.

I just kept pushing through the heavy workload and the ridiculous deadlines while trying not to complain.

But there is a limit.

I ignored the signs because they were inconvenient to what I needed to accomplish.

Please don’t let your job get you to this point.

Please be honest with yourself about what you need.

for some people they need to make adjustments with better boundaries.

For others, they need to get another job.

And then there are some who just need time off to heal and take FMLA like I did, but I’ll be honest that didn’t help very much.

For some people, they realize that switching jobs just won’t help and they prefer to start their own business and remove themselves from the toxic corporate system altogether.

However, that looks for you just stop and take the time to think about what you really, really need.

Have you ever wished you had people in your corner who truly understand what it’s like to build a heart-centered business?

People cheering you on. 🥳
Sharing ideas. 💡
Celebrating your wins. 🏆
Helping you move through the challenges.🤝

This is exactly why I’m excited to be part of The Solopreneur Sisterhood’s first virtual conference, Gather & Grow, a four-day experience designed for heart-centered solopreneurs.

It’s so much more than interactive workshops.

It’s a place to connect, implement what you’re learning, and build relationships with women who genuinely want to see one another succeed.

If you’ve been craving community as much as strategy, I think you’ll love this experience.
I’d love for you to join me.

Let’s talk about corporate America and loyalty.

How do you go from being the star employee to a liability?

The answer is you show weakness the second you can’t keep up with when doing three jobs for the price of one.

Loyalty in corporate America only goes one way. Make sure you stay loyal to yourself.
