Whether you are scaling your operations or planning an intentional transition, we work to align your professional systems with your personal values ensuring your business serves your life, rather than the other way around.
My Journey
When I graduated law school I made the decision to immediately start my own firm. I came from a family of entrepreneurs and I had grown up in a family business. I articled in a small firm that allowed me to see how a firm can be run.
At 26, armed with a shiny new license to practice law and undiagnosed ADHD, I plunged head first. In the subsequent years:
- I built a thriving legal practice;
- I learned to manage my anxiety;
- I got married;
- I turned 30;
- I navigated a global pandemic, personally and professional;
- I acted as a full time care giver for my mother through cancer;
- I bought a house;
- I lost my mother;
- I (finally) got formally diagnosed with ADHD; and
- I became a motherless mother.
It was truly trial by fire.
The reality was that when I started my practice, I knew nothing about budgeting for a business, I couldn't read a profit loss statement, and I didn’t know how to balance a trust account, but more importantly I didn’t know how to set and hold healthy boundaries or manage my anxiety.
I didn’t know how to handle or even identify the casual misogyny and disrespect I encountered from colleagues and clients alike.
I was white knuckling my way through executive functioning with a hope and a prayer.
Since exiting my professional partnership and becoming a mom I have had the opportunity to heal and evaluate my strengths and my weaknesses. Identify the parts of my job that I loved and the parts that I hated. I am now excited to build a sustainable and fulfilling life for myself. I am passionate about mentorship, coaching, and resolving interpersonal conflict.
Now I can confidently say:
I CAN…
- Set and hold a boundary;
- Recognize when my nervous system needs care;
- Understand the ebbs in flows in my energy and focus and use them to my advantage;
- Use systems to manage my ADHD symptoms;
- Recognize when my RSD has been activated and protect myself accordingly;
- Recognize when others are reacting based on personal biases rather than truth;
- Not personalize the reactions of others both to me and around me;
- Make my expectations of others clear and explicit and hold them to it;
- Not internalize failure when things are out of my control or reasonable capabilities; and
- Have empathy for others without being taken advantage of.
I learned the hard way so you don't have to. I’m here to help you navigate the unique way your brain works and find your path to brilliance.
