“The best way out is always through.”

Fjords of Norway

My life has been full of drastic changes, new beginnings, and transformations. I immigrated to a different country at the age of 7. I was the first in my family to get a college education in the U.S.  and eventually the first to earn a doctorate degree. A few job changes took me from thinking that my job was the pinnacle of my self-worth to the very bottom leaving me to feel lost, unsure about my life decisions to now -- currently on my 6th career (yes, career) that is in alignment with my divine purpose. 

And yet the biggest change of them all?

My breast cancer diagnosis in the summer of 2018.

With the diagnosis came a new version of myself. Some changes impacted my ability to be “productive” for example, I no longer have the same attention span or attention to detail. While some changes were for the best -- I developed an aversion to toxic environments and relationships. Going on my 3rd year being cancer-free, I am only coming to terms with how much trauma I’ve overcome and how this experience was my wake up call to truly live the life I’ve only dared to dream about.

My hope is that sharing my story will be helpful to someone else who is weathering their own storm. I’ve gone through a lot of healing, reflection, laughter, and growth - it's been a lifelong journey and one that has led me to this moment with you. 

I am here to declare my place in this world and stand in my power - and I wish to help you discover and stand in yours.

In closing, I’d like to leave you with a couple quotes as a source of inspiration.

“The best way out is always through” - Robert Frost

“The river needs to take the risk 
of entering the ocean
Because only then will fear disappear,
Because that’s where the river will know
It’s not about disappearing in the ocean,
But of becoming the ocean.” - excerpt from Fear, by Khalil Gibran

Above all else, be well,
