When I started my business, I was the definition of a high-achieving, hyper-functioning, “get shit done” woman.
The adrenaline? Addictive.
The growth? Wild.
The identity hit? Euphoric.
I scaled to $340,000 in my first year like it was nothing.
But here’s the truth:
I built that year on a nervous system that was completely fried.
And the crash was inevitable.
The year after hitting multiple six figures, I still made $200,000… and felt like a failure because it wasn’t more.
Read that again.
I wasn’t celebrating two-hundred-thousand dollars.
I was punishing myself for not being “better.”
Every month became a scoreboard for my self-worth:
If I didn’t hit $20K, I spiraled.
If a client didn’t renew, I made it mean something was wrong with me.
If someone needed boundaries, I avoided them.
If money slowed down, I panicked and overgave.
If someone asked for a payment plan change, I bent until I broke.
I isolated myself.
I abandoned myself.
I built a business that rewarded my trauma responses and suffocated everything else.
I wasn’t leading — I was performing.
I wasn’t expanding — I was shrinking behind the mask labeled “high achiever.”
My whole life revolved around how much money I could make, and slowly, painfully, it corroded my mental health, my presence, my joy, my relationships, and my ability to actually live.
I didn’t build this brand because I mastered feminine leadership from day one.
I built it because I did the exact opposite.

My business looks nothing like the burnout era and thank God.
There’s white space in my calendar.
Real breathing room.
Real aliveness.
Money flows in consistently... not because I’m sprinting, hustling, or gripping…
but because my system can finally hold it.
If sales slow down, I don’t panic.
I don’t spiral.
I don’t make it mean something about me.
I trust my work, my message, my body, and my leadership.
I’m not chasing validation.
I’m not glued to my phone.
I’m not refreshing my Story views like my life depends on it.
I’m living.
I’m present with my daughter.
I enjoy dinners without checking DMs.
I take walks and trips without guilt.
I have friendships again.
I have a nervous system that feels like home.
I have a business that supports my life — not consumes it.
I delegate because I’m no longer trapped in hyper-independence.
I trust people.
I trust myself.
I trust my body.
I trust my business to move even when I’m resting.
My clients are dream clients because my energy is clean.
My marketing feels like expression, not performance.
My wealth feels steady, not shaky.
My leadership is embodied, not forced.
This is what happens when you stop building from trauma
and start building from truth.
This is what happens when the body becomes the business partner.
This is what happens when nervous system healing becomes the strategy.
This is INpowered Coaching.
This is the movement.
This is the new wealth paradigm for women.
