As a young adult, I always thought I had a good understanding of who I was. I considered myself to be self-assured and confident. And I truly believed that a successful life was possible…even easy. You just needed to have a plan and then execute that plan. And then in my early 30’s life showed me otherwise; it threw me a curve ball that changed my life path. My husband, who had been my high school sweetheart, left me and our marriage. So at the age of 31, I had to start over. And what I realized was that I had no idea who I was, what I liked, or what I wanted in my life. I had created everything in my world to orbit my husband and our marriage. And in that process, I lost myself. Perhaps more accurately stated, I never took the time to get to know me. I just let life happen.

Since that time….over 20 years now, I have been on a journey. A search – to learn who I am (identity) and why I’m here (purpose). I’ll admit, it didn’t start that way. Initially, I just wanted to get rid of the emotional pain of my divorce. But eventually it became much more than that; a quest of sorts. 

During that time, I spent 7 years in intensive study with a spiritual master. I learned the importance of meditation, I created a morning spiritual practice that I still do today, I changed my eating habits, prayed, journaled, and studied all sorts of Eastern philosophies, religious practices, and ways of thought. I also studied time management, organizational planning, and leadership. I was a sponge, curious and learning everything I could.

After my very first 4-hour session with my spiritual teacher, I knew I was destined to share what I was learning. I remember driving home in Los Angeles and knowing this is what I’m meant to do. That was in the beginning of 2004. I was in the middle of a long career at Warner Bros, so this journey has taken a bit for me to get here…but here I am! And I am excited to share my learnings over the past 20 years with you.
