I threw myself into learning whatever I could about mindfulness, and my stress levels fell dramatically. I felt so much more in control of my reactions, and I began to take things much more in stride. I started to look at my life in a much more balanced way. 

I wanted to help others experience the same in both their work and life because over my meandering career, I’d seen so many people — including myself — who too often were not in a role that showcased their gifts and allowed them to thrive. And I saw what a direct link there was between happiness in life and work.

So I left my high intensity COO role and studied how to incorporate mindfulness into life coaching. I proceeded to get several coaching certifications, focusing on what I’d just gone through — career transformation and mindful living. 

Ultimately I developed a course for Indiana University called career success preparation, where I infused aspects of mindfulness into the career launching process and developed a methodology called The Love Monday Method, a 7-step system that’s proven so effective for college students and pros in their prime.

​

I’m so passionate about this because the world is a better place when people love what they do, and research shows most people don’t, nor do they maximize their gifts. That makes for a lot of unhappy people and lackluster products, services, solutions, moments, relationships and communities.

After teaching for five and a half years, I moved myself and my coaching practice to Georgetown, in Washington DC, and recently, Jersey City NJ. As Kramer would say on Seinfeld, “… and I’m loving every minute of it!”
