My Story

Why I Built The School of Courage™

I didn’t set out to start a movement. I was just trying to stay afloat. After being promoted to lead a corporate team more experienced than me, I dove headfirst into leadership—taking every course and reading every book I could find. But no amount of knowledge prepared me for the internal unraveling that came later.

My marriage was struggling. I was exhausted from trying to be everything to everyone—a high performer at work, a present mother at home, and the steady one no matter what was happening around me. On the outside, things looked “successful.” On the inside, I felt disconnected, anxious, and quietly overwhelmed.

What changed my life wasn’t another strategy or productivity system. It was learning how to slow down, notice what was driving my reactions, and choose how I wanted to show up—at work, at home, and with myself. That shift created more calm, more confidence, and more honesty than I thought was possible.

The School of Courage™ was built from that transformation. It’s a space for women who don’t want to keep pushing harder, numbing out, or carrying everything alone—but also don’t want to walk away from their ambition, leadership, or families.

This work is about leading and living with clarity, confidence, and calm—no matter what season you’re in.

The Framework

The Three Pillars of Courageous Living

Live consciously. Lead courageously. Love without losing yourself.
Everything inside The School of Courage™ is grounded in three simple, powerful pillars that help you respond with clarity instead of reaction — at work, at home, and within yourself.

Reveal

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life.”

Learn to notice the subtle thoughts, patterns, and assumptions shaping how you lead, react, and relate — so you can see what’s actually driving your experience.

Rewire

“What if overwhelm isn’t a problem to fix — but a signal to listen?”

Practice pausing, grounding, and choosing your response with intention — so you can lead and mother with calm confidence, even when life feels full.

Reclaim

“Conscious living isn’t about doing more — it’s about choosing differently.”

Begin creating your life on purpose — aligned with who you are becoming, not who you’ve been trying to keep up with.

The Framework

The Conscious Living Equation™

A self-leadership framework for women who want to think, feel, and lead with intention.

Many women live and lead from unconscious patterns — perfectionism, guilt, over-responsibility, and self-doubt. The Conscious Living Equation™ helps you notice what’s driving your reactions, interrupt what’s no longer serving you, and choose responses that create clarity, steadiness, and confidence.

It blends the Self-Coaching Model (C–T–F–A–R) with emotional awareness and conscious decision-making — creating a practical way to lead and live on purpose, even in full seasons of life.

This framework is practiced weekly inside The School of Courage™ through coaching, reflection, and real-life application.

Self-Discovery

Are You Actually Tired — or Overwhelmed?

The Overwhelm Quiz helps you identify what’s really draining your energy — and why rest, productivity hacks, or “doing less” haven’t solved it.

You might resonate if:

  • You say “I’m tired,” but emotionally you feel stretched or raw.
  • Your mind feels busy even when nothing is urgently wrong.
  • Small things trigger outsized reactions you don’t recognize as “you.”
  • You struggle to truly rest — or feel uneasy when you slow down.

Real Women. Real Shifts.

What Changes When Women Practice This Work

Working mom and leader

“I didn’t realize how much mom guilt was running my life. I was constantly questioning myself — at work and at home. This work helped me quiet that voice and trust myself again. I’m still a driven professional, but I’m no longer parenting from guilt or fear.”

— Working mom & people leader

Mother with her children

“I was exhausted all the time and still felt like I was never really there with my family. I’d be physically home but mentally at work. Now I know how to slow my nervous system down. I’m more present, more patient, and actually enjoying my life again.”

— Career-driven mom learning to breathe again

Senior professional

“My boss used to completely derail my confidence. I over-prepared, replayed conversations, and carried work stress home. This work helped me separate my worth from other people’s behavior. I’m calmer, clearer, and more confident — even in hard conversations.”

— Senior professional navigating a tough work dynamic
