Sometimes things have to fall apart for them to fall together.

That’s the heartbeat behind Life Unraveled.

Because…when 💩 happens we can choose to ignore it, or we can become intentional in our exploration and resolution of the ‘undoing’ we’ve experienced.

Full transparency?

My goal with this publication - and community - is to inspire and empower you to be intentional. To support you to take the unraveled threads of your life and, with renewed clarity, confidence and courage, weave them back together into a tapestry of your own making - stronger and better than before.

But sadly, many of us are frantically treading water in the current riptide of our times. And, we need help grabbing hold of one of the most powerful tools we have - our vision for a thriving future as we reclaim and reimagine what could be.

So, I’m really glad you’re here.

Because, truth is, unraveling life is better when we do it together.

Now…A Little About Me 🧐

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.

For decades, I lived by an imposed set of beliefs. Something 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.

You see, in 2015, after many months of wrestling with questions that challenged my entire way of thinking, moving and being, everything I had understood to be true - and that had informed who I was, why I was here and where I was going - suddenly disappeared. And, I found myself without a career or a 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 certified professional life coach - one who helps folks gain the clarity, confidence and courage to come out of whatever is holding them back and step into who they are meant to be.

So, if you have some life to unravel and would like some support in doing so, I’m here to cheer you on and support you in any way I can. 😊

Let’s unravel - and reimagine life together! ✨
