I’m a speaker, podcast host, tech founder, entrepreneur, mom, and dancin’-in-the-kitchen kinda gal — and my biggest goal is simple: to help you build a strategic, powerful, inspiring life. Over here, you’ll find the tools to craft a future you love… and I’ll help you get there

Real talk: You might believe that something is possible…but do you believe it’s possible for YOU?

If not, it’s time to start.

And you can do this by collecting and creating evidence proving to your “inner jury” that you’re capable of achieving whatever you want to accomplish.

In fact, this is exactly what Heather Hansen, the incredibly talented and brilliant lawyer/advocate/author, explained so beautifully during our discussion (which I’m so EXCITED to share with you.)

In this episode, you’ll learn how to advocate for yourself and your business (in a way that helps you get what you want), the importance of understanding your audience, and how to ask “with delight”. We also touch on overcoming the fear of embarrassment and how the realization that not getting what you want can be just as informative as achieving it.
