​I took a 100-day break from drinking because my life felt messy. My family encouraged me to stop, and I thought a short break might help me reset. Instead, it completely changed my life. Ten years later, I still choose sobriety — not because I’m afraid of alcohol, but because I wouldn’t trade this life for an occasional drink.

But my biggest struggle wasn’t alcohol — it was shame. That shame and negative self-talk followed me well into my recovery. I was sober, but I still didn’t fully know myself.

​

Then one day, my therapist asked me a question that changed everything:

​​

“Are you happy?”

​

I didn’t know how to answer. I realized I’d been chasing goals, control, and improvement — but not happiness. That moment set me on a new path.

​

I started studying happiness, mindfulness, and the science of positive psychology. I learned that happiness isn’t about fixing what’s wrong — it’s about reconnecting with who you already are.

​

That’s when I found life coaching, and everything began to shift. I learned how to listen to myself, challenge old stories, and build trust in my own voice.

​

I created Embrace Your Today for people like me — people who are curious, questioning, or quietly struggling. People who want to make a change, whether that’s cutting back, taking a break, or finding themselves again, without shame or labels.

​

You don’t need to be broken to change. You don’t need a label to belong.
You just need a place to start — and permission to become who you truly are.

​

Today, my work blends what I’ve learned from neuroscience, mindfulness, and positive psychology with years of coaching experience. I focus on four core pillars: Awareness, Confidence, Direction, and Action. Together, they help people move from self-doubt to self-trust, from confusion to clarity, and from simply getting by to living fully.

If you’re ready to reconnect with yourself and build a life that feels like your own — you’re in the right place.
