Personal Growth Coach
I'm a Personal Growth Coach - see more of that below.
I use my lived experience and training in my coaching on a daily basis. What I haven't gone into in much detail is my history of the ED. Started at 22 (likely the result of a lot of covert family dysfunction in particular a narcissistic mother), though I knew/understood none of that 'til about 10 years ago when the puzzle finally started coming together and I estranged myself from my parents and one sibling - anyway, enough for now - just thought maybe I might be a good fit as a guest - just to share a bit of my journey and how I'm now using it to help other avoid a lot of the same struggles I did
I work with strong women who struggle with toxic/dysfunctional relationships (family, friends, colleagues). I use my lived experience and training to help them start living their best lives on their terms and by their rules.
I've written an ebook - 4 Secrets Strong Gritty Women Need to Know to Rise Above Toxic Relationships. Here's the link:

Here's a bit about me:
A self-professed practitioner of self-care!
A B.A.B.E - Balanced, Authentic, Babe Extraordinaire.
Narcissists and toxic relationships used to surround me like a magnetic field.
I estranged myself from my parents and one sister almost 10 years ago.
Today my life is like 31 flavours of Baskin Robbins ice cream.
The younger version of me was obsessed with reading books and watching movies about the guilty – I wanted to be a Criminal Prosecutor/Crown Attorney (depending on what country you are living in).
Turns out, I didn’t have the grades or the stomach for it ... so I got into Real Estate Development… for a while.
Now, I’m a Personal Growth Coach, yoga-junkie, shopping-fiend to rival Julia Roberts, obsessive dog lover, and Style at Home wannabe Interior Designer.
If you've never tried Coaching before... it changes everything. In a matter of months, in my own journey, I experienced more personal, physical, and mental shifts than in over twenty years of traditional talk therapy. I now help others learn to live (and love) their lives without "the problem" (“the shit”) they’ve been experiencing for years (because that luggage is far too heavy!).
If you've got the weight of the world on your shoulders - let me help lighten the load – let me help unpack some of that shit (or those problems) and lighten your load.
