For several years, I have been waging my own personal revolution- confronting my patterns, protecting myself and my family with boundaries, connecting with my true voice and breaking a trail which is completely mine. I’ve promoted myself to CEO of my own life. I do the job in earnest with pride.
Along the way, I joined a public and grueling fight to hold an elected official accountable for his bad behavior toward me in my role as a lobbyist, which resulted in his expulsion from office, the first such expulsion in over 100 years. I confronted my upbringing, full of gender roles and polite racism, and set boundaries with my family of origin which align with my moral compass. I remodeled my marriage (and our family home) to build a partnership where I can take care of myself, radically, while we learn to connect as equals. My husband, Jason, and I completely changed the way we parent our son to prioritize- before chores or grades or sports or social standing- his emotional wellbeing.
My lessons have taught me to deeply understand and embrace my specific brilliance: I create connection, inspiration and growth by performing and devouring stories. Stories are the center of my life (when I’m doing it right!) and my favorite stories are the true ones. I am always seeking the truth so I can speak it to empower others and protect the vulnerable. I say things others are afraid to say - I love to serve as the prow of the ship, even if it means I have to spend the whole next day recovering under the bed.
Through writing, speaking, coaching and educating, I create wellness and connection in the world as an alternative to the patriarchy and its exploitative standards which make and keep us all sick, dim, scared, insecure and competitive with one another. I am creating a really big, exciting life full of adventure and leadership for myself and I envision a world full of others who believe in that abundance.
I have the energy to pursue this work because of boundaries. I am free of toxic, draining relationships because I have said no to people who sink me and yes to those who help me fly. I am deeply committed to guiding others toward their unique path in this world and teaching the power of boundaries to protect that precious energy so it can stay focused on the highest priorities.
I understand, first hand, how scary and liberating change can be. And I know this:
I am brave and so are you.
