"I love to empower women that feel overwhelmed with the constant pressure to juggle all the competing roles and responsibilities in life. I understand the cultural pressure to “get everything right” and that women tend to judge their own worth by comparing themselves to others. I seek to guide these women through their fears and beliefs that they are not measuring up to their standards. I partner with women as they challenge the faulty messages from today’s culture and help lead these women to a liberating life of purpose and meaning. "
