About me

I am an expert on living your best life at home and work. A sought-after keynote speaker and expert on wellness, grit, resilience, and change-readiness, I draw on my adventures and real-life experiences, from hiking the 2,189.2-mile Appalachian Trail and running 26.2-mile marathons to jumping out of my burning home. I have mastered resilience and am a true believer in positive change.

As an entrepreneur, speaker, life coach, fitness trainer, author, and outdoor enthusiast, I inspire audiences and help make change stick, now and for the long term. My content is fresh, positive, and essential based on fundamental strategies used by Fortune 500 companies.
