My Journey
to Winning Within
Do not go where the path may lead. Instead, go where there is no path and leave a trail.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My Story
I’m a former D1 athlete, FSU alum (Go Noles!!) Certified Life Coach, International Speaker, Two Time Author, Podcast Host, and Self Love Advocate.
In my youth, I won a high school state championship, Georgia High School Player of the Year, an ACC Championship, and became a 2nd Team All-American. I took my winning mindset into life attempting to have a similar winning streak off the field and into adulthood. I was under the impression that I must win a secure career, get married young, buy a forever home, and start a family by 25. (It’s okay to laugh, I’m laughing as I type this!) While I “won” most of those things in hopes to gain the approval and applause of my family, friends, and peers, I was genuinely unfulfilled and insecure. Then I lost it all, my career, my marriage, my house, and my pregnancy. Worst of all I lost myself. I fell flat on my face like I did here:
The cool thing about falling flat on your face is the only way to go is up from there. So I did the work to rediscovered myself, stop comparisons, improve my resilience, define my identity, find freedom in enjoying the journey, and I learned that to truly win is to live as your authentic self.
That propelled me into becoming a certified life coach and helping numerous women rediscover themselves and find freedom and fulfillment from within. Then I thought what if I help high-achieving young girls on the front end as they are figuring out their identity so they can conquer anything on and off the field
Now I empower female athletes to gain a higher sense of self-worth, build enthusiasm, and instill unbreakable confidence.
My Mission
My mission is to be what I wish I had to be young, high-achieving woman. While I had coaches, parents, and a therapist, I didn't have someone who had been through what I was experiencing as a collegiate athlete going through a multitude of pressures. I needed someone. I could relate to on a deeper level who could talk to me about my performance and my feelings. I longed for someone who wanted to see me win and had the time to pour into me personally and introspectively.
I strive to connect with athletes, help them define themselves and empower them to make sound decisions for the betterment of their performance and their lives.
My Method
My method is to first build rapport and trust with my clients by creating a space where they feel safe and autonomous. From there, I empower my clients to feel the freedom to define themselves and discover their dreams within and beyond their sport. We develop SMART goals and practical action steps to reach their goals while I hold them accountable. My method promotes confidence, self-worth, and improved performance.
