Sabbatical coach who Wrote the book on breaks
I built the life I thought I wanted. Then I left it behind.
My adult life started off with a bang. By 25, I had the corporate job, a great salary, and had just bought a home in Atlanta. I worked my way up the ladder across three large companies, earning praise and awards along the way. It looked like I had it all figured out.

Before we go any further…
Here are a few fun things and serious things you should know about me.
Earned the same nickname at three completely different companies. (It was ‘Sunshine.’ Very on brand.)
Roamed the world, living a nomadic lifestyle for over 8 years — yep, before it was cool
Traveled 40 countries in one decade (and didn't leave the U.S. until age 30)
Weirdly competitive about mini golf (I once fell into a blue pond wearing white pants, trying for the perfect shot.)
Been coaching breaks since 2017 — which makes me the longest running career break coach in the world 😉

Best of Both Worlds
Good news! You don’t have to choose. I do the inner work AND the practical planning. Because inner work without a plan leaves you struggling with the ‘how,’ and a plan without inner work leaves you organized but unchanged.

Breaks Aren’t a Privilege
We Don't Use the "P" Word Here. Breaks are a right we've been made to feel guilty about claiming — rest isn’t a privilege we have to earn. Not everyone can afford to take one right now, but far more people can than realize it. Breaks aren't reserved for the ultra-wealthy or the chosen few. And the more we normalize them, the more we make breaks possible for others too.

An Inclusive POV
As a biracial woman, I've spent my life wrestling with belonging, while straddling two worlds. This perspective shaped everything about how I coach. You'll be seen here, all of you, no matter how unique your story is.

Relentlessly Positivity
I'm your biggest cheerleader and your steadiest believer. I'll see possibilities and hold that vision until you're strong enough to hold it yourself. I will celebrate every win — and teach you to see them too. But I will never rush you past what you're feeling to get there.
