Despite the recognition and accolades I received, the company culture took a toxic turn, misaligned with my values. It became clear that I could no longer grow within the organization. It was a difficult decision to leave behind the team and career I had nurtured for almost 20 years.
This pivotal moment in my life took a toll on my well-being. Overwhelmed by the demands of leadership, motherhood, and personal relationships, my mental, emotional, and physical health suffered. Seeking recovery, I reached out to professionals, including doctors and health and wellness coaches, to support my healing journey. I embraced the need for change and embarked on a search for a path that combined my passion for leadership and teaching, leading me to discover the powerful world of coaching. With great enthusiasm, I enrolled in a Health and Life coach program and obtained my certification in the field.
