Maybe you saw "CPA" and thought, "Great, another type-A perfectionist telling me to get my life together." But honestly? I'm the recovering people-pleaser who spent years color-coding everyone else's dreams while mine collected dust.

After a decade of corporate life where I perfected the art of looking like I had it all together while secretly wondering, "Is this all there is?" I had my own come-to-Jesus moment. I walked away from the corner office, the title, and the version of success that was slowly burning me out.

Now I help women figure out what they actually want, not what they think they should want.

As a licensed CPA, certified coach, and founder of Change Purpose Action LLC, I bring the analytical rigor of a finance professional and the intuition of someone who has lived the burnout-to-breakthrough journey firsthand. My signature REST is the new revenue plan framework — Reclaim, Exhale, Sit, Trust — that gives women a strategic path to stop performing and start protecting their capacity.

My coaching style? Think strategic planning session with good wine and zero judgment. We're going to get real about where you are, honest about where you want to be, and practical about how to get there.

Whether it's through my coaching programs, the Abundance Lab Collective community, or the DFW Juneteenth Wellness & Empowerment Retreat, every experience I create is designed for one outcome: helping you invest in your health, your wealth, and yourself.
