A little more about me

I know what it is to begin one's life as a young adult, fueled by big dreams, one's sense of possibility undaunted. I know that sense of trust, alignment, that sure optimism that Life is on our side. I also know experiences of loss, dashed dreams, major shipwrecks, and the ways those experiences cause us to contract and pull away from the bright, expansive feeling of hope. 

 

When my children were very young, my former husband, a venture capitalist, was indicted for fraud and went to prison for 4 years. We lost everything overnight. Suddenly, I was on my own with two small children, no resources, and only a fierce determination to limit their chaos, loss and trauma. 

 

My life felt shaped more by survival than by any expression of my creativity and gifts. 

 

When my children were safely launched into college, I felt an urgent pull to turn back toward myself and the dreams I'd set aside. I'd completed yoga teacher training but felt mostly unready when an unexpected invitation to audition arrived. But something deeper knew this was my moment. Saying yes before I felt ready or even worthy, changed everything. It taught me that worthiness emerges when we trust what wants to come through us. What I discovered is that when we commit to what's trying to emerge - even before we feel ready - the universe responds. That one yes created a whole stream of events and connections I never could have orchestrated on my own.
