When someone steps away from a business or career, it is not just a financial shift. It is an emotional and relational one. Questions around identity, purpose, and relationships often surface at the same time decisions are being made.
My work focuses on helping bring those conversations forward. I support advisors in having more meaningful, human conversations with their clients, and I also work directly with individuals and couples as they navigate what comes next.
Before this work, I spent my career in senior marketing roles and as an entrepreneur, building and growing a business before transitioning into coaching in 2011. That experience shaped how I approach change, not just as a process, but as something people have to live through.
Today, I am Co Founder and Partner at Next Chapter Lifestyle Advisors and serve as faculty for CEPA program, where I teach how personal planning fits alongside financial and business strategies.
