From scaling fast to slowing down — on purpose.
I started my career at Compaq when it was still a startup. Fifteen years later, we were Fortune 20. I held executive roles, led national initiatives, launched systems from scratch, managed a $150M P&L, and built teams that made the impossible happen. I thrived in high-stakes environments and earned my seat at the table. I didn’t just survive in the corporate world — I helped build it.
But after 15 years, I traded the title for freedom.
I built a solo advisory practice from scratch, replacing my salary within nine months. Over the last 25 years, I’ve quietly helped more than 100 business owners grow, scale, and sometimes exit — all without ever building a public-facing brand.
Until now.
In my second half, the script changed.
At 51, a one-week-old newborn was placed in my arms — and everything shifted.
I stepped out of location-dependent consulting. I simplified. I prioritized presence. I chose slower mornings and long walks over boardroom flights. I kept my best clients, took on short high-impact projects, and worked only with people I truly respected.
Within the last five years, I made an even sharper pivot:
A 20-hour workweek, 9 months a year.
A streamlined business with just a handful of offers.
A life designed around meaning, not meetings.
Now, for the first time, I’m sharing this model more openly — not because I want scale, but because I want more women to know: you can do this differently.
You can lead without carrying it all.
You can work with clarity, not chaos.
You can design a second half that fits you — not the version you built for someone else.
This isn’t about reinvention.
It’s about refinement.
It’s about trusting that the experience you’ve earned is more than enough.
And it’s time to enjoy the hell out of it.
