When I was first invited to contribute to The Girl Boss Effect, I hesitated.

Many collaborative books focus on recounting pain stories—moments of trauma frozen in time. While I honor the weight of emotions, I believe in the power of transmuting them into something positive. As a Feng Shui Master practicing Black Sect Tibetan Buddhism, I understand the immense power of written and spoken words to ripple outward into the world.
I chose not to leave a legacy of hardship, but one of transformation, growth, and conscious collaboration. This is why I said yes to this project: to show that challenges like divorce, raising young children, and running businesses can be met with perseverance, alignment, and support from the right community.

The Power of Collaboration and Community
During the pandemic, I faced the daunting challenges of divorce while raising two kids under five and nurturing two fledgling businesses.
Those were some of the hardest moments of my life, but I’m proud to say we persevered. Not just me, but my family. We each transformed for the better and attracted new opportunities into our lives.
This book is my way of showing others that transformation is possible—even in the face of great challenges. Through conscious collaboration, I’ve created a support system that has helped me grow both personally and professionally. St. Pete Girl Boss became a key part of that system, a community where I found like-minded women who not only supported me but helped me amplify my potential.
The magic of collaboration lies in the way it transforms us—not just our businesses, but our very sense of who we are.
The connections I made in St. Pete Girl Boss have grown into meaningful friendships and powerful partnerships. Together with my good friend and Nicole, we created the mantra, “Why be a shooting star when you can be a galaxy?” This mindset has carried into all of my work, including The Conscious Collaboration Podcast, which I co-hosted with Emily and Michelle.
These collaborations don’t just inspire me—they sustain me. They’ve helped me put food on the table, taught my children the value of chosen family, and allowed me to create a business legacy rooted in integrity, empowerment, and transformation.
Transformation doesn’t happen in isolation—it blooms in community.
Why I Said Yes to This Book
I chose to contribute to The Girl Boss Effect because I wanted to tell the story of what’s possible. Not just for me, but for anyone willing to lean into the power of community. My story is not one of reliving pain, but of creating circles of support, of reflecting the best in others, and of building something larger than ourselves.
St. Pete Girl Boss introduced me to many of the women who now form my support system. It was here that I found a space where collaboration replaced competition, and authenticity was celebrated over perfection. This community became a place to share triumphs, trials, and the lessons we all needed to grow.
Why be a shooting star when you can be a galaxy?
