Transitions and Expansions

If you’re in the middle of a life transition—not the tidy and predictable kind, and not the kind that resolves quickly—you’re not behind.

You’re moving at the pace of grace. Take your time. 

And if you’re feeling a growing nudge to speak more boldly, be seen more clearly, or pursue a passion project or a long-held vision—you’re also right on time.

There are people waiting, even praying, for your wisdom. 

I see so many visionary women with big, sensitive hearts quietly and inwardly, navigating seasons like these.

A relationship ending or evolving.
A role dissolving.
A career no longer fitting.

Or…
A creative pulse is beating louder.
A desire to share your voice, wisdom, and impact with more potency or visibility.
A knowing that there are more spiritual gifts wanting to come through you now.

Transitions can be disorienting. And expansions can be just as tender.

Both ask us to loosen what’s familiar and listen more honestly to what wants to emerge. Both call us to trust, to get comfortable in the not knowing. 

Our culture doesn’t do a great job of supporting either. We’re rushed toward certainty, productivity, and polish when what’s actually needed is space, reflection, and truth-telling. And what’s most helpful is steady companionship while we reorient our lives from the inside out.

I know this terrain intimately.

Four years ago, I took what I thought would be an enriching sabbatical, a fulfilling international pilgrimage. Sounds sexy, huh?! 

What unfolded instead was a full dismantling. And it turns out this painful dismantling was exactly what I needed to become who I am today. 

At 52, while traveling the world, I found myself without a home. Without a career focus. Ending an eight-year relationship. Losing half of my savings in a cyber theft. I was forced, both voluntarily and by surprise, to let go of identities I had carried for decades.

When all of this devastation hit, I had to ask questions I couldn’t bypass:

Who am I now?
Who am I no longer?
What still feels true—and what no longer belongs?

I came face-to-face with something humbling and clarifying:

I am not my credentials.
I am not my bank account.
I am not the roles I play or the titles I’ve held.

And honestly, I’m not anything I won’t take with me when I die.

What remained was my soul, my essence. My spiritual orientation. My wisdom and knowing. My devotion to women’s leadership, creativity, truth, and conscious living. My connection to a bigger picture, a greater truth, and a guiding light. My integrity. 

From this empty space, I started anew. 

As I reassembled myself, I moved back to Mt. Shasta after being away for 4 years. I rekindled community and found new friends. I deepened my roots in a place that feels like my sacred home. I forgave myself for the ways I had abandoned myself.

I rebuilt my coaching and mentoring work—this time with more depth, more honesty, more soul. Less performance. More presence. And for sure, more compassion. In time, I opened up and found new love, a more aligned and truthful partner whom I now happily call my beloved husband. 

I’m no stranger to loss.
And I’m no stranger to reinvention.

This is why I created The Creators Circle, a 9-month sisterhood for visionary women. Women in transition and women in expansion.

Women who are:
• re-evaluating who they are and how they want to live
• reclaiming their voice and visibility
• reinventing their work or pursuing a passion project
• creating from a deeper alignment with what brings them joy

Inside the Circle, we don’t rush clarity.

We listen for it. We know that the womb of creation has a natural timing. Not to be pushed, but birthed.

We make space to grieve what’s ended. We tend and nourish what’s silently gestating. We share parts of ourselves that may hold shame, and at the same time hold our freedom. We support one another in bringing our wisdom, creativity, and leadership forward—without forcing or pretending.

Because yes, we all get to play a part in this world. And that part lands best when it’s aligned with your self-honesty, your joy, and your desire to contribute meaningfully.

If you’re standing in the in-between…
or stepping forward into greater expression…
or both at once…(often that’s the case)

You don’t have to do it alone. I’d be honored to walk with you in this sisterhood as we gather in a circle. We do this together. 

I love who you are and who you are becoming.
