Sometimes things have to fall apart for them to fall together.
That’s the heartbeat behind Life Unraveled.
And, around here, when life unravels, we unravel life. Because…when 💩 happens, let’s face it, we can either choose to ignore it, or we can become intentional in our exploration and resolution of the ‘undoing’ we’ve experienced.
But, let's also be real, being intentional is hard.
I mean, when life unravels it often leaves us ruminating in indecision that is weighed down by tidal waves of overwhelm. And then, we become uncertain about (and overthink) everything.
Despite this overthinking overwhelm, my hope remains to inspire and empower you to be intentional - to support you as you take the unraveled threads of your life and find a clarity aligned with who you really are. And then, weave those threads back together into a tapestry of your own making - stronger and better than before.
Like what I had to do as a recovering religious fundamentalist. 👀
But, before I get into that, I want you to know that I’m really glad you’re here.
And, free or paid, I hope you’ll join me. 😊

Now…A Little About Me 🧐
As I mentioned…I’m a recovering religious fundamentalist whose life had to completely unravel before being able to recognize, understand, accept and embrace my true queer, gender expansive self.
Yep. For decades, I lived by an imposed set of beliefs that gave me a mission, a sense of purpose and a confidence about who I was and how my life would unfold.
Until it didn’t.
Until, in 2015, after months of wrestling with questions that challenged everything I understood to be true, I suddenly found myself without a career or community - uncertain about who I was or how to move forward.
It was a dark and scary time from which I almost didn’t make it through.
But, after sifting through a lot of rubble, I took the unraveled threads and good pieces from my past and worked to weave together a new tapestry of my life.
It’s taken some time, but I’ve learned to repurpose the skills and experience I had in social service and ministry and I’ve used them to become a professional Authenticity Alignment Coach. As such, I get to help folks who’ve lost themselves, find and become who they’ve always been and were meant to be.
So, if you feel lost or have some life to unravel, I’m here to support you in any way I can. 😊
Because, truth is, unraveling life is better when we do it together.
