(And What It Taught Me About True Power)
There was a moment—one I haven’t spoken about much—when I almost gave up coaching altogether.
It wasn’t because I didn’t believe in the power of transformation.
It wasn’t because I didn’t love supporting others.
It was because of something someone said.
A coach I had once trusted told me, “By stepping away from this program, you’re choosing to be mediocre.”
Those words hit like a punch to the gut.

Suddenly, I was flooded with shame, anger, heartbreak, disappointment, and the deepest self-doubt I’d felt in years. I started to question everything about who I was and what I was doing. I felt disempowered—and I even considered no longer calling myself a coach.
Because if that’s what coaching looked like, I didn’t want any part of it.
When Pain Speaks, Listen
That moment could have been the end. But it wasn’t.
It became something else—an invitation to come home to myself.
It took time, reflection, and a lot of healing. But eventually, I began to see the truth hiding inside the wound:
I had been outsourcing my power. Making decisions based on other people’s authority instead of my own.
And that wasn’t aligned with how I’m designed to live and lead.
Through deep inner work, I reconnected with my intuition—my sacred inner compass—and committed to only investing my time, energy, and money from that place of clarity.
Now, I have several coaches in my life who guide with integrity, compassion, and wisdom. And I trust myself more than ever.
Reclaiming What Was Locked Away
Recently, I’ve been having discovery calls with women who are also standing at their crossroads—women who are ready to be seen, to make a change, to come alive again.
And something has shifted in me.
The confidence, intuition, and abilities that had been buried under that painful experience are now alive and flowing again. I see myself clearly. I hear my own voice. And I know the value of what I bring to the table.
If someone were to say something like that to me now?
I would boldly say, “I disagree.”
Because now I know—deep in my bones—who I am.
