Create a personal brand you love.

How Building My Personal Brand Changed Everything

Five years ago, I went from being drained and consumed with fear and worry as a divorced mom to creating health, happiness, and career success in a beautiful life I’m proud of with my now nine-year-old daughter.

We live half a mile from the ocean in a house with a gorgeous yard. I’ve been in an extraordinary relationship for the last four years (the first & only person either of us met on Bumble!), and I’ve healed my worrying, self-judgment, and shame to be in flow with the magic of the Universe.

In 2019, I came back to the United States with my daughter — terrified.

We’d been living abroad in Taiwan, but it became abundantly clear that I needed to get divorced. I didn’t know how to begin legal proceedings, where we were going to live, or how I would support my daughter with $200 in my bank account and $50K of mounting debt.

“How the f*ck did I get here?!”

I was a smart, accomplished woman who made so much money in my 20s that I lived off my savings for the next 10 years, making my dreams come true as a travel writer, yoga teacher, and Reiki Master.

Now, here I was, crumbling.

I had no confidence. My health was failing. I didn’t have a job. I felt consumed by shame.

I struggled to find clients, charging $30/hour on Upwork — less than I made at my first full-time job! My heart raced every time I used my debit card at the supermarket, worried there wasn’t enough money to buy the groceries on the conveyor belt.

I did whatever I could to write a new chapter of life for myself and my daughter.

Even when it didn’t seem like it on the surface, I knew that the Universe was on my side nudging me along and that somehow, everything was working out for me.

Everything did work out for me.

By working deeply on my mindset and personal brand, I transformed challenges into triumphs:

• I went from feeling scared for myself and my daughter, having barely any money in my checking account, and hustling to find clients to becoming fully debt-free in less than two years. More importantly, I’m now extremely financially confident thanks to learning from the mistakes I made.

• I went from doing work I didn’t love and selling my services below market value to attracting dream clients (royalty, social media influencers, founders of iconic brands) as I charge the highest rates of my career! I’ve 20x the rates I charged when I first got back into the country, increasing them every quarter, and have built a multiple-six-figure business in under 18 months.

• I went from not telling anyone what I was going through and feeling alone in my shame to creating a huge high-caliber professional network and community of fellow divorced moms who surf — we support one another in raising our kids and travel together on surf trips around the world.

• I easily scored a paid book deal with Ulysses Press (a division of Simon & Schuster) that’s distributed on Barnes & Noble, Target, Amazon, Audible, and more; launched a top-rated podcast, F*ck Saving Face; and manifested amazing paid speaking opportunities with ease.

• And, I’m not only the strongest I’ve ever been (physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually), but I’m also in the healthiest relationship of my life with a divorced dad, where we have extremely clear communication, deep intimacy, and total respect! (In fact, two therapists — a friend and my own therapist ‚ have validated that it’s a remarkable relationship. :))

Because I had to rebuild my life from the ground up, I discovered my personal power and the power of personal branding like never before. I am now able to tap into a profound sense of self-reliance — regardless of whatever happens around me — to create a real peace of mind for myself and my daughter.

Today, my high-caliber connections, intuition, and skills lead to remarkable opportunities for myself — and my clients.

You can write a new story, too. I’m holding that vision for you.

Let’s write a new chapter of your life together.
