I’m known as the “Stressbuster”—a TEDx Speaker, Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, trailblazer, and an undeniably unstoppable force in the world of human performance and well-being. My work focuses on helping individuals and teams navigate a fast-paced, ever-changing world, so they can manage stress, overcome fear, and thrive personally and professionally.
My journey began inside a box—filled with limits, doubt, and fear—the very definition of stress.
But I didn’t stay there.
I became great at running away, until I finally chose to run toward possibility. I learned to swim at 26, play soccer at 35, and golf at 50—my proof that reinvention has no age limit and courage has no timeline.
I’m a wife, mom, “professional” nurse, speaker, innovator, author, design thinker, and survivor. Every chapter of my life reflects resilience, curiosity, and a refusal to accept the limits others tried to place on me—or on the profession I love.
My story isn’t just a bio. It’s a testament to what happens when you step out of the box, challenge the narrative, and decide to become unstoppable.
I’ve asked myself the same questions so many people wrestle with:
What if I fail?
What will others think?
Who am I to even try?
I learned that fear wasn’t the enemy—it was a signal that I was standing at the edge of something bigger. By learning to think differently, I shifted from surviving to serving, from invisible to unstoppable, and built a life I intentionally designed on my own terms. Now, I help others do the same—break free from the box, reimagine what’s possible, and move boldly from stress to transformation.
As the co-creator of Harmony by Design, I deliver solutions that support balance in work, life, and leadership. With a global footprint across more than 50 countries and every U.S. state and Canadian province, I’ve helped elevate conversations, cultures, and connections. I guide teams through complexity with clarity and confidence, leaving a lasting impact on engagement, productivity, and well-being.
As an NSA-Certified Speaking Professional, Master Storyteller, and dynamic keynote speaker and emcee, I bring energy, humor, and authenticity to every stage—creating experiences that inspire, engage, and keep audiences wanting more.
