A bit about my story…
Seeds, Weeds, and Seasons in Bloom
I’ve been passionate about health, wellness and lifestyle design since my grandmother taught me that daily walks and dark chocolate were the keys to a long and happy and life And to keep aloe plants on-hand in case of burns. (She lived to 100!).
I’ve also spent much of my life torn between opposing parts of myself: ambition and high sensitivity (but I didn’t learn this until my 40s).
After studying human development at Cornell, I focused my career on health and wellness communications for two decades.
Though I worked at top organizations with incredible teams, my default mode was “overwhelmed and stressed.” Despite my “healthy lifestyle,” my emotional and physical wellbeing were tanked.
Then some big events happened.
My highly sensitive (and intelligent) mom passed away in her 50s. Her sensitivity played a part in many of her challenges. I wanted a different future.
I also had my own health crises, including several years of recurrent miscarriage between my two children, and mold illness.
Many times I’ve questioned I thought to be true: What does it mean to BE WELL (hint: it’s not a number on a scale, a title at work or working out 7 days a week)? What is my purpose? How do I line up my head, heart and actions?
I discovered that wellbeing and “success” are interdependent. I’d been planting the garden of my life in depleted soil wondering why I was stressed and exhausted.
Since having my miracle second baby (now a spicy second-grader) and evolving my career to coaching over 5 years ago, I’ve discovered that I am what’s called a Highly Sensitive Person. If you’re here, you probably are too (at least a little). Our emotional and physical wellbeing require extra TLC. I’m so glad you’re here.
Honor is gifted with a unique ability to empathize and connect with clients on a deeper level. She helped me transition from a place of pouring from an empty cup to a place where I felt empowered and confident with a toolbox packed full of tools. I cannot thank Honor enough for her service and would highly recommend her to all women who feel tired, lost and unsure where to go next.
