Discovering Your Internal Operating System 

What do you do in a situation that’s unprecedented? When there’s no map…or even a road? That’s what I began to study, and practice, just about 10 years ago.

After years of doing all the “right” things to secure health, happiness, and success, I came to a point where the generous resources at my disposal became impotent, and the external systems I expected to rely on failed me at every turn. I had to find new tools.

Adapting + Thriving with your Inner GPS

Gradually, I learned to recognize and deploy an internal operating system that—like a GPS—was customized, endlessly adaptable, and strikingly reliable. Working with, rather than against, my personal operating instructions helped me cut through the relentless noise of chaos, and respond to rough waters with more creativity, confidence, and calm.

Recognizing that other folks around me had their OWN unique operating instructions helped me stop expecting them to act just like me (or being bewildered when they didn’t!). It helped me be a better partner, parent, team member, and friend.

The Untapped Potential of Our Innate Tools

This personal operating system is innate—part of our original packaging—yet it’s often out of reach because we aren’t taught it’s there. To me, that’s unfortunate…because, hands down, these internal tools were the most critical asset for getting me through some really intense times.

So I refashioned my career around helping people:

• Reconnect to their unique genius — the singular perspective and talents they can contribute to family, team, and community;
• Recognize and defuse the obstacles to deploying that genius; and
• Chart a course that is fulfilling for THEM, and make the inevitable course corrections necessary to stay aligned and effective, and navigate change.
  
  

I trained in several of the most effective modalities I encountered—Wayfinder Coaching®, Soul’s Calling Coaching®, Equus Coaching® (to partner with horses for transformative experiences that are embodied and interactive), and Dynamic Emotional Integration® (because your emotions are a key and strategic part of your guidance system, and learning to tap and regulate them is mission-critical). Woven through all of this is my training and personal practice in mindfulness, yoga, and Reiki (including my YTT 200 Hour training at our very own Balance Studio!), and my commitment to being trauma-informed and culturally responsive, as a certified Equity-Centered Coach.®

I’ve come a long way from being a lawyer…but I remain a relentless advocate for your authentic self, and a tireless defender against your inner critic. Because I continue to find that when we align with our internal wisdom, we unlock a pathway to both individual and collective well-being.
