Evolve with Grace. Lead with Strength. Live in GREATness.

You're Exhaused—It's Not Your Fault.

But I Do Have A Framework For That!

Helping women who “hold it all together” reclaim their energy, identity, and boundaries while living with chronic illness, stress, and silent burnout.

When your nervous system is in survival mode, self-care isn't enough.

You’ve carried the weight of everything—your work, your people, your pain. Now your nervous system is fried, your spark is dim, and your soul is whispering, “I can’t keep doing this.

stress, responsibilities, caregiving, chronic illness

Juggling deadlines, doctor’s appointments, and the pressure to hold it all together—you show up, you smile, you push through. But deep down, you know: something has to change.

You’ve tried the planners. The supplements. The early mornings.
But when you're living with chronic symptoms and deep exhaustion, healing has to look different. It has to be yours.

You don’t need another pep talk. You need a system that honors your body, protects your energy, and brings you back to the version of you that’s still in there—buried, but never broken.

There's a better way to lead your life...

The GREAT Framework blends behavioral science, trauma-aware coaching, and lived experience to help you reconnect to your energy, identity, and leadership—without guilt or grind. This isn’t about doing more—

it’s about feeling steady, even when life isn’t.

...because the truth is, what you're feeling isn’t failure. It’s a signal.

What You’ll Reclaim When You Finally Say Yes to Yourself

You’ve spent enough time managing symptoms, second-guessing your instincts, and trying to squeeze into wellness trends that were never built for your life.

Here’s what happens when you finally choose a system that’s built with your truth, your body, and your bandwidth in mind.


Say yes to yourself—and this is what you’ll start reclaiming:

body confidence, boundaries, self-worth, guilt-free living

Confidence in your body and boundaries—without guilt

sustainable wellness, energy plan, chronic illness, tailored coaching

An energy plan that works with your symptoms—not against your body.

self-leadership, neuroscience, habits, burnout recovery

A self-leadership rhythm grounded in neuroscience, compassion, and truth.

flare day support, flexible routines, energy management, autoimmune wellness

Tools that flex on your flare days—and fuel clarity on the strong ones.

burnout relief, self-reclamation, emotional healing, empowerment coaching

Relief from burnout—and a reclaimed sense of self that’s no longer performance-based.

If You've Been Waiting for A Sign... This Is It!

Let’s chat before life throws you another flare-up, deadline, or breakdown.

My Story

Hi, and thank you for being here! For over 25 years, I've led teams, managed systems, and empowered others to thrive inside some of the world’s most demanding corporate environments. But behind the scenes, I was silently struggling—navigating chronic illness, emotional exhaustion, and the slow unraveling of a version of me that could no longer survive on performance alone.

The past decade brought multiple autoimmune diagnoses, emotional exhaustion, and a truth I couldn’t ignore: I didn’t know how to ask for help—or where to turn when my body, mind, and identity felt like they were slipping through my hands.

When the noise got loud and the fog set in, I drew on everything I had—my training, my leadership experience, my lived reality—and created the framework I needed when clarity was nowhere in sight. A softer way of living—one that moved with my body instead of against it, and made space for my truth on even the hardest days.

I stopped searching for the old me. Instead, I redefined what strength looked like. I honored every version of the woman I’ve been—and built something for the one I was becoming.

From that journey—through the burnout, the breakdowns, and the rebuilding—came something new.

That’s how the b•great Coaching System was born.

... and now, it's here for you!
