When The Tower Fell

Coaching found me at a time when I least expected it. A few years into my legal career, I was on what I thought was the only path upward. I had been promoted quickly, given more responsibility and visibility, and my mindset was simple: climb the ladder as high and as fast as I could (#millennialhustle). I was ambitious in that old-school way, measuring success by how quickly I could reach the next rung.

But the universe had other plans. It was as if the Tower card in tarot came crashing down around me; everything I thought was stable seemed to fall apart and I was left standing in the rubble, wondering what was next. At the time, I was resentful and confused, especially toward the person I felt was creating a toxic workplace. For the first time, I dreaded going to work. I’d sit in my car, coaching myself just to step into the office.

Looking back, that Tower moment was the greatest gift. A Tower built precariously atop a hill can’t withstand the wind and storms. As rude as it was, it was the universe’s way of waking me up to a new way of being. I realized that life didn’t have to be a single, linear ladder. It wasn’t about climbing up or down someone else’s structure. Instead, I could move sideways, expand outward, and discover new directions. I let an old way of thinking, being, and feeling begin to crumble.

During that challenging period, I turned to practices I’d never fully explored before: meditation, creative writing, and the neuroscience-backed To Be Magnetic manifestation program. I fell in love with tarot and Human Design.

I began working with a leadership coach who saw me ten times bigger than I saw myself. She asked me powerful questions that cracked open a new vision of what my life could be.

That was when I realized my soul wasn’t meant to just climb a ladder. It was meant to flow in all directions. And I discovered a calling: to become a coach myself, to blend the esoteric and the practical, and to help others find their own path of transformation.

With more than 100 hours of coaching, I’ve developed a philosophy that honors both intuition and action. It is my joy to help others find their own way through change by exploring the full landscape of their soul’s journey. Because underneath it all, we’re all souls in this beautiful, wild earth school, and there’s so much more to experience.
