The top questions people would have for me are: How did you get the courage to leave your cushy job? How did you figure out what new career to take on? How did you finance such significant changes in your life? How did you explain why you were leaving your career and city? How do you know when to figure it out, walk away, or run away from a bad situation? All of these areas are covered in my workshop "Perfecting Your Pivot"

Most people don’t know I love people’s stories: hearing, writing, and sharing them. I am a published author and wrote a successful blog called “Tales of the Ordinary Days” while raising my three sons. Often published in the Omaha World-Herald as a contributing writer, I am also my family historian, bringing our family stories to life in word and film. I love any physical activity showing nature’s beauty while introducing me to interesting people. My daily goal is to explore our world and community with a smile and a childlike sense of adventure.

I’m determined to show up as the best version of myself because life is precious, and we should all be enjoying every minute to our highest potential. My secret sauce is creating communities and raising people by bringing them together. I naturally accept people for who they are. My calling is to help others achieve their highest level of happiness by embracing their unique 'why' while practically and thoughtfully tackling the obstacles along the way.
