I’ve Been
Where You Are.
I understand on a visceral level the challenges high performers face in building a relationship. On paper, I had it all — a seven-figure business, good friends, hobbies. But my love life still wasn’t working.
Building a thriving relationship as a high achiever requires a fundamentally different approach, and nobody tells you that.

On the last day of that retreat, I had a vision of my future husband so real it propelled me to break my lease, leave my home of 12 years, and move on intuition to Scottsdale, Arizona. I planned to attend a new event every week until I met my person. The first event was run by a friend of my husband’s, who introduced us a month later.
