She also felt drained, stressed, and feelings of  anxiety and overwhelm were constant companions not leaving her side despite the mindset, growth and self help work she was doing. All of this kept pushing her to seek for answers and solutions that would actually change her day to day experience. She became relentless about  reigniting the connection with her own essence and creating work and life that is energizing, nourishing, life giving and also fun.  Her mission is to inspire and guide others who feel the call on their heart that there must be something more to work and life than living only for weekends and vacations.
