Allow me to introduce myself…
A seasoned transformational coach with a penchant for guiding folks through the twists and turns of life's adventures. My journey? Well, it's been a tapestry woven with threads of change, epiphanies, and leaps of faith. Luckily, I am equipped with a great sense of humor.
In my childhood, I felt most at peace when creating - that magical feeling of being immersed in problem-solving and seeing what magic can come into a page. This passion led me to the world of art education, teaching both high school and elementary school for a little less than a decade. Looking back, it wasn't just about art; it was about planting seeds of self-confidence, fostering courage, and nurturing a belief in one's innate abilities.
As time went on, so did my path. I transitioned into supporting creatives as they navigated the exciting (and sometimes daunting) terrain of post-secondary education and career changes, venturing into the ever-evolving tech space. As my roles changed, I found courage by embracing a learner’s mindset. One of my superpowers is breaking complex jargon into simple concepts.
Through 13 moves (yes, you read that right!), I noticed a common thread: people sought comfort during moments of transformation. This revelation propelled me into a phase of assisting others in embracing change.
In my early thirties, I faced my significant shift - a divorce. This experience inspired the birth of my blog, "The Mulligan Marriage™️," where I shared my journey of finding strength in new beginnings. This transformative period ignited a lifelong commitment to self-growth and boundless curiosity.
Despite a lingering intuition, embracing coaching as my calling took time. The universe introduced me to the Martha Beck Wayfinder program when the stars finally aligned. This program resonated with my beliefs and philosophy and fueled my desire to help people navigate their own transformative journeys.
When I'm not in coach mode, you'll find me fully immersed in my other great love: the arts. Painting, drawing, photography - these are not just pastimes but a way of life. I'm also an avid gardener, a passionate hiker, and a wanderer of new horizons. Nature is my sanctuary. My trusty pup, Phoenix, and my love, Jamie, are my enthusiastic travel companions.
I'm beyond excited to be part of your journey, to be that friendly face in times of change, and to witness the incredible transformations that await you.
Let's embark on this adventure together. Let's embrace change and rediscover your innate strength.
