Dear Sacred Rebel, Change Maker, Big Hearted Business Shaker,

 

I have something to share with you, a note like none other I've ever written before. Please do gift yourself the opportunity to read it through, because if you're one of the courageous leaders meant to receive this, I really don't want you to miss it.

 

This isn't a long essay on leadership or life purpose, but it may contain the one decision at the bottom of this note that is powerful enough to change the path of your life, your leadership, and your impact. 

 

I see you. I know you possess oceans full of courage, determination, and intention. You've been working so hard, for so long. 

 

And right now something is missing. A sense of deep meaning in your work, a well from which you can draw creative energy. There’s a stuckness along the path and you’ve lost the sense of ‘living fully.’

​

Time for you and what you care about is relegated to weekends and short vacations that must be “earned” and there’s a disconnect between the you who shows up at work and the you who craves to live and work in a way that lights your soul on fire.

​

I get it, because I’ve been there. My life used to feel so different and I believe know there is another way. 

 

 

 

 

A personal story…stick with me for a minute…this might resonate…

 

For years I shoved down the discomfort of frustration, loneliness, feeling like I was beating my head against a wall, screaming into an empty room, and the burnout of doing something I didn’t 1000% believe in. Until I could not.

 

I began to question my path and what had driven me thus far in my corporate persona of endless striving and to-do lists, self-inflicted pressure to be productive, always “busy,” over-achieving, and an emphasis on my masculine traits with a de-emphasis of feminine qualities.

 

I worried this predictable hamster wheel was all I would have to look back on.

 

As a Corporate Responsibility Director, I spent 14 years crafting my ‘dream job,’ working up to my goal salary, challenging fashion’s capitalistic systems to operate in new ways, traveling to places and meeting people who expanded my heart and my thinking.

 

And yet, I didn’t feel soul-on-fire good like a dream job ‘should.’ I felt frustrated, exhausted, and like my contributions were somehow not enough. And I was taking my discomfort out on my body, my relationships, and other emotional areas in my life

 

I wondered who I would be without this work? What is it I REALLY care about?… The scary thing was, I didn’t know the answers. Or what I would do even if I did.

 

And the stunning question: What if I make no changes and keep living this way?

 

I knew something had to give…But I wasn’t sure where to turn or what to do. 

 

Maybe in the same way you are feeling lost right now?

 

One fateful trip to Sri Lanka in 2018 changed my life. I challenged myself to try new things, meet new people, go to this new country.  I intuitively knew by taking myself out of my comfort zone I would gain clarity for the unknown I felt looming in my future.

 

A shockingly simple - and at the same time confounding - ah-ha emerged as I digested that first visit.

 

In Sri Lanka I had seen myself truly joyful. And I realised how deeply unhappy I really was.

 

In Sri Lanka I felt like I met for the first time - or remembered - the happiest, healthiest, most confident and free version of me.

 

​

I realized it was only me standing in my own way. Blocking my way to living in alignment with my purpose and values…even if at the time I didn't really have an idea of what that meant.

 

We get to choose to create our lives differently, walk an unprescribed path in a new way and stand for and in our values every day.

 

This invitation may only resonate with a few of you. The big hearted rebels ready right now to step into a new way of leading and living in 2022.

 

Maybe this invitation is even a little bit scary to you. 

 

A few bold leaders are willing to risk making 2022 the year you up your impact game, experience more full body yes's to joy, and connect wholesomely with your purpose by saying YES to a transformative experience that has not been possible before now. 

 

 

A journey in discovering and co-creating a new way. 

 

This is a transformative experience for reclaiming your joy, connecting with and sinking into your purpose, laying the groundwork to meaningfully amplify your work’s impact with clarity.

 

I know it feels comfortable following the default path. That leadership model and route has gotten you this far, right?

But I believe you feel a rumbling beneath the surface. A deep knowing that there is another way…UNCHARTED is the catalyst.

 

I’m not promising to wave a magic wand and life will be all peacocks dancing and rainbows over rice fields (though it can be in Sri Lanka!). UNCHARTED is a powerful journey where you will develop a new way of leading and a lifestyle with more ease and enjoyment while making an impact and doing your important work.

 

Imagine waking rested, feeling vibrant and creative, and not sleeping far fewer hours than you work.

 

I created this opportunity to support the bold and adventurous ones seeking more, feeling the gravitational pull to do something new, who wish to live and lead in a way alive with the positive change we so need now. 

 

I’ve been coaching pioneers like you to make big shifts in the direction of what lights them up, whether that is working in a new way at the same place, bravely learning new skills and starting a new career after over a decade in one track, moving countries or states, being easier on themselves, and doing work and living lives that boldly contribute to something beyond themselves.

 

This is your invitation. Join us. 

 

Discover your most powerful way to lead change, to shape yourself authentically, and to experience more joy and fulfillment in this life.
