I once was 'not good enough'.

For decades, making a difference in someone's life was something I desired but always seemed 'just out of reach.' It was 'good enough for everyone else but not for me.' I believed the lie that I was too broken, too wounded, too everything, to have anything to offer anyone else. The garbage of life was trying hard to smother the glowing ember underneath. Hope was elusive, discouragement a constant companion, and purpose only a dream never to become reality. Sound familiar? I get it.

Everyone wants to make a difference in some way but often believe they have nothing to offer because they don't have it 'all figured out.'

Now...I am a Voice of Hope, a Lighthouse for your journey!

I'm here to say you only have to be a step ahead to help the person behind you.

As a Master Certified Life Coach and Board Certified Master Mental Health Coach, I empower those who feel stuck and 'disqualified' in life to be all they ever dreamed of becoming. No matter the challenge or goal, you matter and your dreams can be reality now! We all have purpose and sometimes we just need someone to come alongside us to help fan the flame of hope and find the way out of our rut - to get unstuck and start to move. Maybe the issue is self-confidence, relationships, stress management, anxiety, goals, or something else. No matter the issue, you can have a better life now.

I founded My Step Ahead to serve as the umbrella organization to empower others to share their story while they are healing because 'you only have to be a step ahead to help the person behind you.' We all have life experiences which are meaningful, regardless of how we classify them. My Step Ahead has launched the Dare to Believe Movement, daring people to believe that they matter. Through main stage speaking, podcasts, conference presentations, and life coaching, I provide resources to help you take the next step in your journey and would count it a privilege to walk your journey with you.

I will help you get where you want to go.
The first step is yours!
