Creativity and Life Purpose Specialist
Master Fearless Living Coach
How long have you been doing what you do, and how did you become a Creativity and Life Purpose Specialist?
I have been a Certified Fearless Living Coach for more than 10 years, and I’ve been creative my entire life. Yet to answer this question specifically, it’s probably best that I share with you a defining moment, and a resulting “compelling story” that brought me to where I am today – mentoring lost, stuck, or blocked artists and creative entrepreneurs like you on exactly what to do to overcome depression, anxiety, self-doubt, and excessive questioning, clarify and re-affirm their unique purpose, and move forward with their creativity so that they can make a difference and make some money.
That defining moment in my life happened in 2012. But first, allow me to set the stage ….
I vividly remember that, at age 3, whenever I was asked what I wanted to be when I grow up I’d say “I’m gonna grow up. Go to college. Become a doctor, and THEN get married.” This is what I had been trained to say. It was critically important to my mom that I prepare to enter the workforce. And I stepped up to the challenge — I was and over-achiever who was exacting, thorough, and got things done. When my parents divorced, I stepped up to the role of second parent all while staying on the Honor Roll and following all the rules..
And all along, I loved my bouts of creativity, even if it just was doing “Backyard Theater.” I came alive when creating, dancing, acting, writing and felt most like myself in those moments.
But I had been programmed for “real work” – you can’t make any real money being creative, so it should just be a hobby.


Flash forward, and I graduated from college with honors (with a Bachelor of Arts, not a doctorate). THEN I got married and somehow in spite of my childhood programming, I ended up with a creative career — owning a successful dance studio. And although it hadn’t necessarily been part of my original “independent woman” plan, we decided to have a child..
I did everything “right” to get pregnant, and I did! So I was super-shocked when that pregnancy ended in a miscarriage (Twins! Told you I was an over-achiever). But I treated the miscarriage like everything else – I powered through, locked away the pain, and went to work.
Shutting down my emotions was the responsible thing to do, after all. I couldn’t miss work!
Shortly thereafter, I got pregnant again and, thankfully, I soon had a healthy, beautiful daughter. Now, I had heard about other mothers grappling with post-baby depression or exhaustion. But … mine NEVER went away. I was entirely and perpetually wiped out for years.
But still, I made sure I did every single thing I could and should. I would wake up in the morning and set my family up for a successful day. Drop my daughter off at pre-school, take a nap. Make a meal, take a nap. Check into work, take a nap. You get the picture.
I must have napped for the better part of a decade. I felt like a complete loser or a zombie, and I hid my struggles from everyone.
I wouldn’t admit the truth – that I was actually depressed.


Finally, when I opened up to a doctor, she declared that I must just be perimenopausal. Really? At 35? And why could all of the other menopausal women I know at least make it through a standard workday without three naps? Some days were so bad that I couldn’t even form a coherent thought!
I looked for answers elsewhere, and I soon found a naturopath who got to the main root of the problem: I had severe Adrenal Fatigue and Celiac Disease. I spent the next year healing myself with nutrition, supplements, and eventually bioidentical hormones.
But underneath it all was a scary realization. It wasn’t just gluten that was poison to my body. I had been poisoning myself and my life with “shoulds.”
I healed physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I embarked on a year of reinvention.
By this time it was 2012. I was 41 and feeling better than I had in the past decade. I was ready for passion, re-connection, and creativity. It was a beautiful June day in Wisconsin and I was in my hammock, I prayed to God “ Please tell me what I am to do with my life, and help me get out of my own way.” I promised, “I’m ready now.”


I dozed for a while and when I woke up, I had an email with the subject “Get Out of Your Own Way.” (God answered quickly!) This email introduced me to the concept that a person’s life purpose and divine design is mapped out in their fingerprints … that our soul’s mission is right there in the palm of our hands!
I got my Life Purpose clarified and soon learned how to do it for others
Officially, it was time … time for me! I’d already worked as a life coach for years, and manifesting? Yep! I could do it in my sleep
I pulled together all the skills I had amassed in my lifetime — combining my natural skill for setting up structures and strategies, and my true passions: creativity, spirituality, and my dedication to the fabulous, beautiful, but elusive direction we call purpose.

I freed myself from my life of “shoulds” and started truly living my purpose: teaching other creative women how they can do the same! I watched them blossom in self-acceptance and amazement too!
With so much momentum, it became my commitment to dedicate the rest of my professional life to helping others remove the emotional barriers, blocks, and other struggles that stand between them and their purpose, bring about the changes necessary to truly flourish, and emerge lighter, brighter, and deeply connected to their creativity and life purpose!
Since then, I’ve worked with many private clients and spoken in front of countless groups. I’m living the creative life of my dreams — feeling inspired, healthy, clear, balanced, and full of vitality and purpose! I have the time, energy, and brainpower for my family, my business, and my creative work in the theater.
And I have created The Abundant Artist system and the 90-Day Unleash Your Creativity and Prosperity Program — a series of six important steps that every artist, writer, designer, photographer, or creative entrepreneur needs to apply to get out of her own way, live her purpose full out, and claim her big, prosperous, creative life!
