MY STORY
As a high-achieving, high-masking neurodivergent woman, I have always excelled professionally and personally. With four degrees, including a doctorate, Fortune 500 consulting experience, and a multi-six-figure business. I had built a life that looked successful, but I was living in High-Functioning Survival Mode™. After years of performing, overworking, and proving my worth through achievement, I burned out. Twice. The second time, I made a different choice. I fully paused, rested, and let go of the performance. Resting allowed me to redefine my relationship to work, to myself, and to my life, and I realized what true alignment actually looks like outside of the traditional markers of success.
That pause led me to create the Soul Activation Model™—the foundation of my entire practice and the work I do with other high-achieving, high-masking women. I then decided to conduct the High-Functioning Survival Mode™ research to test my theory. Now I guide women through the same transformation of exiting High-Functioning Survival Mode™ and rebuilding from soul-led alignment.
