My story
I’ve spent my career helping other people communicate with conviction.
By trade, I’m a marketer. I’ve spent the last eight years building brands, leading social strategy, and helping executives, emerging leaders, and employees communicate clearly and confidently. Today, I lead global social media strategy at a major financial services company.
And for a long time, I assumed competence would eventually create certainty. If I worked hard enough, learned enough, got enough validation, I thought I would arrive at a version of myself who simply trusted her own judgment.
But achievement and self-trust are not the same thing.
I could make decisions all day at work and still ask three people what they thought about my own. I could look confident and still soften something I wanted to say. I could know what I wanted and immediately begin building a case for why maybe I shouldn’t want it.
A lot of my own self-trust work has been surprisingly ordinary. It has looked like noticing when I’m seeing myself through someone else’s eyes, letting someone misunderstand me without immediately correcting the record, and asking what I would do if I already believed I was good enough.
That curiosity led me to coach training through iPEC, an ICF-accredited professional coaching program. What began as professional development quickly became much more personal: a way of understanding how beliefs, patterns, fear, expectations, and approval shape the choices we make every day.
I created Pause for women who are thoughtful and capable and still want a place to slow down enough to hear themselves. Sometimes that work is about a huge life decision. Sometimes it is a workout routine, a new job, a boundary, a hard conversation, or a pattern you are finally tired of repeating.
I do not believe my job is to hand you the right answer. My job is to ask the question that helps you notice what you have been missing — and help you build enough trust in yourself to do something with what you find.
