With 20 years of experience building businesses — from real estate to direct sales — I’ve seen what it takes to turn vision into reality. As a no-nonsense coach and public speaker, I help you get results in both your personal and professional life. Balancing entrepreneurship and family as a mom of three, I know firsthand that growth isn’t always easy, polished, or pretty. That’s why I bring raw honesty and a healthy dose of humor to every part of this journey.
I’m living proof that you can build a thriving business, be a hands-on parent, and enjoy the ride. Does that mean everything’s picture-perfect? Absolutely not. But it does mean I’m committed to sharing the laughs, the challenges, and the triumphs with you.
This website is a space to share the real stories behind my life, my business, and the transformations I’ve helped others achieve. I’m here to give you the advice, the laughs, the doubts, and the insights that I once looked for but couldn’t find.
So buckle up. We’re going to get real, laugh (a whole lot), and yes, learn — in that order. Because if you’re not getting real, you’re not going to grow. And if my real doesn’t make you laugh… well, then you might need to check your sense of humor. 😉
15 RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME
1 I don't drink coffee and no, I don't know how to make you a cup.
2 Sushi? NOPE, NEVER, NO THANKS.
3 I'm 5'4". When people meet me in person they always think I should be much taller.
4 My grandmother is my hero. She raised 12 kids on her own and never complained, not once! (Trust me: she had much more to complain about than you or I.)
5 I decided in college I would never work for anyone else. Punching a time clock during college taught me that I was the most unemployable human on the planet.
6 I love golden retrievers. I've always had one and I will trust anyone who has a golden; they are my kind of people!
7 My husband is 12 years older than me. Yes, everyone thought we were nuts and would never make it. Here we are, 19 years later: I know we haven't made it yet, but we also haven't killed each other --- yet.
8 I believe fiercely in authenticity. I won't apologize for who I am.
9 I prefer a beer any day over a glass of wine or bubbly.
10 I know everyone's family is crazy, but I'm pretty sure mine wins the award. And yet, they are my family and where I came from. I guess that makes me crazy.
11 I was born and raised in a small Montana town: Butte, America as we refer to it. I am convinced the greatest people on earth are associated with Butte. They get it, work for it, and have each others’ backs. (You know what I am talking about if you've known a "Butte Rat".)
12 I don't know how to swim. I can doggie-paddle for about 60 seconds, then I'm done. I come from a long line of non-swimmers: just ask my mom or aunts how they feel about the water.
13 I always thought I'd have sons. I was a tomboy. I have two brothers and a million boy cousins. And here I am with three amazing girls. So after all these years we "adopted" 3 college aged boys into our crazy family. We love being their Montana family while they are here for college and football.
14 Mayo = gross = the worst thing ever: the smell, the texture, the look of it --- OYE!
15 Ten years ago I thought I disliked change: now I realize I thrive on change and every time I make a big change I GAIN a big win. I'm all about CHANGE!
