Ever been told you’re too much or not enough? Same.
In the last 18 months, I’ve collected “no’s” like rejection letters.

✨ From being “too loud” to owning stages.
✨ From rejection to redirection.
Now I cowork with women who get it—because building your business is way better in community.

The Court Wasn’t Built for Me—But I Played Anyway
Do you remember the first time you put on something that made you feel unstoppable? Maybe it was a pair of shoes, a lucky shirt, or even the right mindset.
For me, it was red Converse high tops when I was eight—playing in an all-boys basketball league, and I HAD to prove I belonged.
Fast forward to today, and I still find myself lacing up—this time in business. And just like on the court, there are moments of doubt, exhaustion, and questioning if I’m enough.
But I’ve learned that when those thoughts creep in, it’s time to pause, get a fresh perspective, and surround myself with people who just get it.

Want More Time in 2025? Here’s How I Found It (No Funds or Hustle Required)
For years, I chased “just one more hour” every single day. No matter how much I planned, blocked time, or set boundaries, I was always running out of time. Sound familiar?
In 2022, I finally had enough. I decided to make 3 simple—but radical—changes that completely transformed how I work and live. The result?
• More time to focus on what really matters.
• More space to rethink and recharge.

The best part? These changes didn’t cost me a thing.
