The Roads That Carried Me Here
My life has taken me down roads I never could have anticipated... through deep loss, meaningful achievement, reinvention, detours, and setbacks I never saw coming.
At 21, I fulfilled a childhood dream of becoming a police officer. Later, I owned a boutique for full-sized women, hosted a radio show, and eventually built a career as a corporate trainer, speaker, and executive coach.
From the outside, my life kept expanding. Inside, an old story kept traveling with me: "I wasn't enough."
I tried to outrun that story through achievements. But success couldn't resolve what I hadn't yet learned to face within mySELF.
From Resistance to SELF-Permission
My Inner Quest
I wanted to understand why achievement wasn’t changing what I felt inside. That question led me through Social Psychology, coaching, and eventually a doctorate in Organizational Psychology. Education gave me language, but it didn’t end the consistent inner tug-of-war.
Then, in 2001, Divine ONENESS brought me to a realization that changed my life’s direction: I had spent years waiting for permission to live beyond an old story that no longer held the truth of who I was.
What began as an exploration of the common phrase “giving myself permission” gradually became something deeper. I was learning to reconcile my everyday human self with my Sacred Expressive Life Force™ (SELF), which had been present all along.
That journey became the foundation of the work I now share with other women: SELF Permission isn’t about creating a new SELF, but reconciling with the truth and sovereignty already within.
A Life of Many Roles
What I Know Now
I no longer believe the goal is to become a perfected version of mySELF.
I believe our lives keep offering us opportunities to return with more awareness, gather wisdom from what we have lived, and choose what belongs now.
My work is rooted in that freedom: helping women trust what they know within and give their Sacred Expressive Life Force™ permission to participate more fully in life.
I Am the Sacred Expressive Life Force™ of the Ancestors
I don't walk this road alone. I carry wisdom shaped before me, lessons lived through me, and a responsibility to leave something useful behind me.
I honor that inheritance not by becoming someone else's answer, but by living truthfully enough to help create room for another woman to hear her own.
