THE POWERFUL WOMEN, WHO MADE ME, ME
I come from a long line of powerful women. Each actively shaped their own life and lived boldly. Curanderas, bakers, builders, musicians, and artists. Matriarchs who led with a firm hand. Divorcees and single parents. Women who rescued animals and cared for the feral. These were my models.
Women who sat by the ocean and climbed mountains loved fully and deeply with their hearts. It was these brave stories that brought me to where I am today. Their stories shaped my family and my way of seeing the world.
I realized the power of every person's story and that each of us carries a unique story within them. I inherited a magical connection to the Universe as a result. Like the women before me, I have a strong intuition that I listen to and draw on to help me radiate love and manifest beauty in the world. Their inspiration set me on a path of following my knowing, practicing empathy, and becoming a seer of beauty and magic in every moment. I cherish this gift in all the work I do.
What is the engine for everything I do?
The heart.
An Architect and Pioneer
I am a heart-centered/people-first manifestor. I architect and analyze systems to bring forth the best in others. I help people explore their inner cartographies and asset maps to help them bring forth their unique contributions to the world. The goal is to build connections and momentum and leave the world a better place because of who we are and what we did with our time here.
As a pioneer, the journeys I facilitate for people sometimes require new maps and navigational tools. I seek opportunities to harness the power of people collaborating and, to create opportunities to grow and work together. Like a flotilla, by moving together, we can all go further. In working together, we are transformed and new outcomes are possible.
Some say I am a firefighter. Always. Some say I am a rabble-rouser, and I own that as well. A cheerleader for many, a midwife of birthing the impossible. Absolutely! And I learned to embrace all these parts of me through the act of unconditional love.
The Power of Grace
When my partner was diagnosed with a sudden chronic illness, I learned to hone my craft of approaching each moment with patience and grace. Supporting those I love through the transition from mobility and energy to new and evolving challenges has not been easy.
I leaned into my ability to meet people where they are and discovered a wealth of power and potential that comes from love. Coming from love changed everything I do and how I see problems and solutions. I now take that forward into my personal and professional relationships.
What I learned about Love from my four-legged companions
How to be in intimate relationships.
We are attentive and relate to each other in deep exchanges by paying full and honest attention to one another. This full-attention relationship can be complex but is rich and full. Relationships like these, with all the beings in the Universe, are what we are called to hold sacred and reflect in all our interactions. The guide through these complex and rich relationships is the heart, and my heart informs all my working relationships.
What Speaks to my Heart?
Leaning into the Flow
I love the process as much as the outcome.
It is exciting to get the ball rolling in a new direction, harnessing the power of emotional physics and collective gravity to help ease the path. When you can amplify the energy where the flow is already present, you can generate energy and movement in new ways and see paths untaken.
Seeing Into the Heart of The Matter
“I can see the rich center and beating heart of any situation. All you have to know is where to look”.
“Sharing my advanced knowledge, intuition, and deep expertise is non-negotiable for me.”
I am a Catalyst
There is a global crisis of disconnection, misunderstanding, and stagnancy. Out of the ashes of a top-down culture, I want to reintroduce people to their intrinsic value and personal power and encourage self-efficacy. I want to abolish all misconceptions and help people get in touch with the heart of what matters.
In science fiction, we worry about time travelers inadvertently doing one small thing that changes everything in the future. Yet, people don’t think what they do matters in our lives. I want to smash that misconception. Working in earnest, in love, and with a vision to change everything. Especially if we can find ways to do it together, sometimes that requires being a maverick.
My rabble-rousing is a talent that helps pave the way to needed change.
As a truthteller, I say the things that need to be heard. I lift the carpet where things have been swept and forgotten, beckoning those unspoken truths back into the light where they are required to move forward. This can be challenging to the mainstream.
I challenge the status quo and our accepted and outworn paradigms, especially when they are anchored in a zero-sum-game mentality. I am a catalyst for people seeking the answer to "what else is possible?" And sometimes, those possibilities are as big as the Universe itself.
Working in Service of the Universe
We are all at a crossroads, with opportunities to bring our skills forward in new and innovative ways.
Sometimes in my work, people might fight or flounder. I hold them and work with them to discover their creative core, their unique contribution, and their power which can most often be found in simply being authentic, honest, and filled with integrity.
I help them see the greatness that is already inside of them.
I invite everyone I work with to be authentic and vulnerable, and I love them for their complexities and contradictions.
I help them manifest their gifts and trust their capabilities until they trust themselves. Catalyzing communities toward care and action, love and momentum, grace and creation, is the outcome I hope for, strive for, and trust will emerge.
This is how I am of service to the Universe right now.
