Five years ago, I looked like the picture of success — great career, house, car, even box seats at Minnesota Vikings New Stadium Opening Game. But behind the scenes, I was slowly burning out.

After three wake-up calls — serious illness, a night in jail, and losing my retirement — I finally realized: how you allow yourself (and others) to treat you impacts every part of your life. I turned my life around by setting boundaries, releasing old patterns, and learning to put myself first.

I enrolled at the Institute for Coaching Mastery under Alyssa Nobriga (featured on Mindvalley) to get my trauma-informed certification. Today I help high-performers do the same — without having to wait for crisis to wake them up.
