When a dream won't let you go...

Life Coaching

Do you have a dream that won’t let you go?

Do you feel stuck or perhaps inadequate to fulfill it?

Do you think someone else could do it better?

Perhaps it just doesn’t fit within the lines of your current life.

You may have other questions:

“How will I pay the mortgage?”
“How will I fund the dream?”
“Who will help me?”
“How will I reach the people I feel called to?”
“Am I enough?”

A life coach helped me take one step at a time toward fulfilling my own calling. Without her, I don’t know that it would have happened.

That’s why I’m coaching other dreamers and unlikely world changers now.

You don’t have to go it alone and aren’t meant to!

A coach can help you:

  • Clarify your vision.
  • Know your ‘why.’
  • See yourself clearly. By holding a mirror up to you, she can help you see who you are and recognize the special gifts you bring to the world.
  • Find courage you didn’t know you had.
  • Identify barriers to fulfilling your calling and overcome them.
  • Find paths to the fulfillment of even impossible dreams.
  • Count the cost — of doing your dream and of not doing it.
  • Create actionable steps.
  • Spend your one precious life for what matters most.

Coaching Services for:

  • Divorcees
  • Survivors/Overcomers
  • Dreamers
  • Entrepreneurs
  • Career Changers
  • World Changers
  • Writers

Have you survived a divorce or abuse–emotional, physical, spiritual, or financial? I’ve  survived those nightmares myself and am on my own path to healing. 

As a trauma-informed coach, I’d love to walk with you along your healing journey and hold safe space for you to share your experiences, thoughts and feelings and be validated. It would be my joy to help you get unstuck by establishing new ways of thinking and feeling that serve you and your own goals.

Are you dreaming of finding true, lasting love, perhaps after a divorce or an experience of abuse? 

I offer dating coaching to help women clarify their goals, know their worth, and overcome obstacles to finding the right kind of romantic partner. I specialize in helping women identify red flags and trusting  their own gut.

Are you dreaming of saving the world or one little corner of it? Serving people who need what you have to offer? Perhaps you’re considering launching a business, a social enterprise, or a nonprofit organization.

I’ve launched all three and would love to walk alongside you as you move toward realizing your own dreams, whatever form they take–because someone is waiting!

Do you have a book in you that needs a midwife to help them come into the world? 

I also offer coaching for writers to help them overcome obstacles, including the common ones between our own ears–imposter syndrome, perfectionism, feeling inadequate. If you have much to say, a message for those who need it, but find yourself holding back, perhaps waiting for validation or permission to release your work into the world, coaching may help you get unstuck. This type of coaching is not editing, but helps writers themselves clear the path, examine thoughts and dispel fears that paralyze us and keep us from offering our gifts and words to those who most need them.

About Me

When I was dreaming of starting a business in Afghanistan to employ struggling moms, the enemy of my soul would whisper in my ear:”Who do you think you are?”

Almost everyone who steps up to address an injustice, become the voice of the voiceless, or meet the needs of desperate, even unseen people, faces this question.

But decades ago, I left a career in the tech sector to found a nonprofit organization to help Afghan women in trouble through social entrepreneurship, including a business in jewelry making. After leaving Afghanistan, I expanded the nonprofit mission to include women in Kenya, women and girls in India, and refugees in the US. As an entrepreneur, I’ve also been part of start-ups, including my own businesses. 

I’m a survivor of childhood abuse and domestic violence and have a heart for the vulnerable and oppressed. There is a path forward to healing and victory that turns our painful experiences into a bright light that guides
