There are a lot of Cinderellas in the room lately. Tender-hearted, high-capacity women doing the caring work, burned out not from failure, but from too much giving. Ash-covered, holding dreams that feel too precious or too impractical to name out loud.

We’re figuring it out together—step by step, day by day—what healing looks like when you’ve spent years holding it all.

In a mentorship group this week, I heard myself say:

“There are a lot of Cinderellas in the room feeling for the comfortable shoes. We’re figuring it out together. I look forward to watching you rediscover your spark.”

But the autocorrect changed it: rediscover your speak.

And honestly? That felt just as true.

Because when the right shoes find you—not the ones that make you disappear, but the ones that fit—you do begin to speak differently.

From the ash, from the spark, from the truth of who you are.

Because this is what I believe: we’re not looking for glass slippers that shatter under pressure. We’re feeling for the shoes that fit. The ones that only we can wear. They might seem unbelievable, even impractical—but when they’re right, they feel amazing. They carry us forward. They open doors.

Later, someone shared their ‘taking a break’ story, and I found myself responding:

“Oof. I’m not sure healing from pneumonia counts as relaxing. Recovery is some of the hardest internal work there is. Lots of lessons in humility and receiving care. Not easy ones either.”

That’s what this work often is. Not glamorous. Not linear. And certainly not effortless.
Rest can feel impossible when we’re wired to keep going. But sometimes, the body insists. It lays us down in the ash. To let the cinders speak.
It’s hard. It’s real. It’s not the glam part of the story—but it is where transformation begins.

Here’s the thing: I’m a coach, yes—but I’m not your fairy godmother.
None of us are, alone.
She’s all the women who’ve lived this story.
Who viscerally understand the cost of care.
And who are quietly, fiercely rooting for you.

When you speak your dreams—even if they sound wild or whispery—those godmothers gather. We make things happen. We offer you a glimpse, a taste, a time-limited magic to show you what’s possible. And once your heart connects to that feeling? Your path starts to show up. Step by unexpected step.

It’s not about a perfect fix.
It’s about a glimpse, a breath, a moment of presence.
A heart-connection.
A sense of how the path might feel, once the shoes are on.

And once you’ve felt that truth in your body—once the path finds you—you start walking, and talking – differently. With more clarity. More energy. Less pretending.

That’s what I offer in my coaching:

• A place to let the cinders speak.
• Support in finding the shoes that really fit.
• Partnership, not perfection, Trusting that your next steps are already being shaped by the ones who walked before you, including your younger self.

Becoming the star

For sensitive, big-hearted women ready to stop shape-shifting and start walking their true path

In our work together, we listen for what the ash is telling you, reconnect with the shoes that really fit, and follow the felt sense of what brings you alive. 

🧠 Curious Mind
A space to pause and let the cinders speak.
To notice what’s been lost, what still calls to you, and what no longer fits.
We start with awareness—kind, nonjudgmental, and quietly powerful.

💖 Connected Heart
Support in finding the shoes that truly fit you.
Not someone else’s idea of success or healing—your path, your pace, your pulse.
Because when your heart says yes, the next step becomes clearer.

🦶 Creative Body
Partnership that honors your energy and rhythm.
We listen to what your body knows about exhaustion, longing, and readiness.
Together, we follow the aliveness—not the pressure.
