In 2014 I picked up the mic and started my podcast, not realizing that in doing so I was catapulting myself into public speaking. I’ve always been a writer, but over the past decade as I’ve continued podcasting while traveling the world, it was through the microphone that I found my place and my voice on my platform.
I know what I’m here to do. I know what my role is on the mic, and I understand the immense honor and responsibility of picking it up, every time. I have created and led retreats and workshops and shared my messages on stages across hemispheres, always trusting that if I show up for my purpose and invite you to meet me there, you might just be inspired to show up for yours.
Thank you for considering me for your next event.
