Here's the real bio...
I struggled with school, lost my best friend, want to be a rock star... still today!
Although most people did not see it, I had a complicated relationship with school, dreamed of being a rock star as a teenager and still hold that dream in my heart today. When I was in my 20s, my best friend committed suicide... and I have felt a pain in my chest since then.
I had my share of dealing with dependencies such as recognition and power. When working for a certain type of leader, I became my own shadow and decided to break free... yes, freedom is my strongest value.
I had no clue what I would do when I left my job... walked in the mountains for 3 days and prayed what I was supposed to do on Earth... I heard the answer inside me... coaching was my path.
I need a vision to thrive in my life... and mine is HUGE: world peace starting from within.
