Another year gone by… I used to mark this day, the day I was cancer free with memories, with a bit of heaviness, but also hope. Now, I see it as the day everything changed. The day I truly started becoming healthier, more aligned, and more deeply connected to my purpose. I’m genuinely grateful for the experience, as odd as it might sound. Would I have chosen it? Of course not… But it cracked me open in a way, I don’t believe anything else could have. It forced me to look at my life with raw honesty. Demanded that I slow down, listen to my body, observe with more depth, heal from the inside out—and ultimately, it led me here. So much of what I’ve built since then—personally and professionally—has been a result of that season. And one of the most unexpected, beautiful things to come from it has been my coaching program. Back when I was navigating my own hardest chapter, I looked for support that really fit. Therapy and close relationships helped, but something still felt like it was missing. I needed someone who could see me from a neutral perspective. I wanted a therapist, a guide, a coach, a mentor, and a friend all wrapped into one. Someone who could hold space with empathy and boldness and still lovingly call me forward. I couldn’t find it then, so I created it now. That’s what my coaching work is all about. It’s what I needed, and what I know so many others need too: a safe space to feel seen, supported, empowered, and held through life’s big transitions and quiet awakenings. This day, this anniversary, or maybe even it’s a birthday… will always remind me where I’ve been—and why I do what I do now.
