Clarity. Courage. Authentic Growth.
Let’s uncover what’s holding you back—so you can live in alignment with your truest self.
Welcome
U-INSPIRE ME is for those who feel the disconnection between who they've become and who they truly are. We guide you in recognizing the patterns that no longer serve you, reconnecting with your inner wisdom, and taking courageous steps toward a life of authentic alignment. Through compassionate support and practical tools, we help bridge the gap between where you are and where your heart knows you're meant to be.
Our approach honors your journey while providing the structure, accountability, and encouragement needed to transform insight into lasting change. Whether you're feeling stuck in repetitive cycles, sensing an internal shift that's hard to define, struggling with people-pleasing, or finding that checking all the right boxes hasn't brought the fulfillment you expected, we create a safe space for you to explore, grow, and ultimately thrive as your most authentic self.
My Journey to Authentic Living
For years, I lived a life divided. On the outside, my HR career advanced steadily from Generalist to Chief People Officer over 25 years. I was the consummate professional—organized, successful, respected. Yet beneath that polished exterior lived a woman haunted by past trauma, self-doubt, and the exhausting effort of trying to be "enough."
My story began under challenging circumstances. At 22, I was a homeless single mother determined to create stability for my children. I channeled all my energy into building a prosperous career, believing that external achievement would somehow fill the void I felt inside. As I climbed the corporate ladder, I became increasingly skilled at wearing masks while disconnecting from who I truly was.
The turning point came not as a single moment, but as a gradual awakening. Despite professional achievements, I found myself struggling with anxiety, people-pleasing patterns, and a persistent feeling that something essential was missing. I began to recognize how past conditioning and traumatic experiences had shaped my beliefs about myself and what was possible.
This recognition sparked a transformation journey that would completely reshape my life. I immersed myself in mindfulness practices, studied limiting beliefs, learned to set boundaries, and gradually reconnected with my intuition and inner wisdom.
As my inner landscape transformed, my outer life naturally followed. In 2024, my husband Omar and I took a bold step that embodied this shift—we sold our home, I left my corporate career, and we embarked on an eight-month journey across the western United States. This wasn't just geographic exploration but a profound commitment to living authentically.
Today, I feel a deep sense of purpose that resonates in every fiber of my being. The pain I experienced wasn't meant to break me—it was preparing me to help others find their way home to themselves. I founded U-INSPIRE ME from a place of profound love and compassion, recognizing that so many people are where I once was: accomplished on the outside yet yearning for something deeper within.
This work isn't just my profession—it's my calling. Every time I witness someone reconnect with their authentic self, I'm reminded why I'm here. My journey through darkness into light wasn't just for me; it was preparation for holding space for others with genuine care as they navigate their own path to wholeness. I bring not just expertise but my whole heart to this sacred work of helping you bridge the gap between who you've become and who you truly are.
