My Story: From Searching to Soul-Aligned Success (and the magnetic path I now walk — and teach)
For most of my life, I was searching.
Searching for clarity. Searching for identity. Searching for the answer to that sacred, frustrating question:
Who am I really… and what am I here to do?
I wore the titles, collected the degrees, climbed the corporate ladder, played the part.
But even with the success, the beautiful life, and the checked boxes…I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was meant for something more.
Something deeper. Truer. Mine.
Eventually, I found it.
But getting there wasn’t a straight line.
Â
The First Breakthrough: Remembering Who I Am
The first challenge was simply figuring out who I truly was — beyond the expectations, the identities, and the roles I had mastered.
I had to peel back the layers and ask:
What lights me up?
What was I born to bring into this world?
What is my soul really here to do?
Once began to uncover my purpose, I thought things would click into place.
But I needed deeper validation to overcome who I believed myself to be and what I was capable of...
Â


The Second Breakthrough: Remembering Through the Code
In the middle of that chaos, I was handed a sacred key.
Numerology.
Specifically, Soul Contract work — a channeled system that uses the vibration of your birth name to decode your soul’s unique blueprint, gifts, challenges, and divine mission.
It wasn’t just insight. It was deep remembrance.
For the first time, I saw myself clearly — not through the lens of who I was trying to be, but through who I was designed to be.
It explained why I had felt so different. Why certain patterns kept repeating.
Why none of the strategies I’d been taught actually worked for me.
Because I was never meant to follow someone else’s formula — I was here to walk a path that only I could walk.
That one reading changed my life.
And soon after, I became certified in the modality, at the highest level, and started offering it to others —
Because I knew women everywhere were holding the same questions I had been asking:
Who am I really? And how do I live in alignment with that truth?
The Third Breakthrough: Feeling Safe to Be Seen
Knowing your mission is one thing.
Owning it? Living it? Speaking it out loud?
That’s something else entirely.
Even with the clarity, I felt blocked. I didn’t feel safe being fully seen.
I was afraid that if I showed all of me — the spiritual parts, the intuitive parts, the power — I’d be judged, rejected, or abandoned.
That I might lose everything.
So I stayed small. I stayed busy.
I stayed stuck in perfectionism — my favorite form of self-sabotage.
Because if I never finished anything, I never had to share it.
And if I never shared it, I never had to face the fear of not being enough.


The Fourth Breakthrough: Letting Go of the Hustle
When I finally began putting my work into the world, I did what most new entrepreneurs do — I followed the formulas.
I bought the courses. I copied the strategies.
I did everything “right”… but it all fell flat.
Nothing felt aligned. Everything felt forced.
Until one day, I realized:
I was never meant to follow someone else’s blueprint.
I was here to create my own. Not through force…
But through frequency.
Â
The Fifth Breakthrough: Saying What I Came Here to Say
Once I finally understood who I was and why I was here…I knew I had to speak it out loud.
And that meant writing the book I had been sitting on for years.
The Universe is Hiring was the message that had been living in my bones — waiting for me to stop doubting myself long enough to let it out.
It took every ounce of courage I had to actually publish it. To release it into the world — raw, real, and fully me.
But the moment I did, everything shifted again.
Because there’s nothing more powerful than a woman who trusts her own voice.
That book became the doorway — not just for my audience, but for me — into a new level of purpose, magnetism, and mission-led work.

Where I Am Now: Magnetic, Aligned, and In Service
Everything changed when I started leading from my energy instead of my effort.
When I aligned my nervous system, healed the old patterns, and owned my frequency — I began magnetizing everything I needed:
- Soul-aligned clients
- Unexpected abundance
- Aligned opportunities
- Creative flow
- And a business that actually feels good to run
That’s what I teach now — because I know I’m not the only woman who’s felt like this.Â
What I Believe...
I believe your energy is your greatest currency.
I believe your presence is your most powerful strategy.
I believe your path isn’t meant to look like anyone else’s — because your soul didn’t come here to blend in.
You came to lead. To remember. To rise.
And I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
