When I started, I wanted the success that others had... and then I didn’t.

I realized I didn’t want my success to look like theirs, so I began to claim it for myself.

I had to look beyond the surface, beyond the numbers, and beyond the praise, and bring it home—to my heart.

What if success could feel as good as it looks?

This question immediately brought me into the present.

It was never just about hitting revenue goals or gaining recognition. That was my mind's desire and the more I chased it the more empty and alone I felt .

My heart desired to live a life that felt true. A life where I could show up for my child without feeling torn between work demands and motherly duties. Where I could lead my business without the fear that resting would make everything unravel.

But the journey wasn’t seamless.

I was constantly ON—my mind racing with the next business move, anxious about keeping up with my to-do list. Even when I was physically present with my child, I was mentally somewhere else, planning, strategizing, worrying. The obsession to always be ahead was so strong that I mistook it for visionary thinking. It was all-consuming.

And the distance grew.

Not just between me and my child but also with my family and friends. I was there, but not really there. My body was present, but my mind was perpetually elsewhere. It felt like I was in a constant state of anticipation, always thinking about what was coming next. And it wasn’t just exhausting—it was isolating.

So I went on a mission to discover what it means to lead with heart.

Trusting that you don’t need to sacrifice your presence at home for your vision at work.

Allowing your intuition to guide your decisions instead of the pressure to keep up with someone else’s definition of success.

When you lead with your heart, not just your mind, you unlock the freedom to be fully present and emotionally available—for your family and for yourself.

It’s a freedom that lets you engage in each moment without guilt or distraction.

It’s being able to sit with your child, fully there, not just in body but in spirit, without feeling like you’re falling behind. It's leaning into moments with curiosity without racing through and forgetting about what matters most.

This isn’t about balance. It’s about integrity.

It’s about living in a way that honors every part of you—the visionary, the leader, the mother.

Because success isn’t just about what you achieve; it’s about who you become along the way.
