I spent much of my professional life being afraid of being found out as a fraud, as somebody who didn’t really know what she was doing. That is until I worked myself into a burnout and took a long hard look at what had brought me there.

That’s when I decided I was done being afraid!

Done being afraid of being found out as an impostor!
Done being afraid of not living up to what I thought were other people’s expectations!
Done being afraid to live a life of my own choosing!

After 20+ years I left the corporate world of project management and consultancy. I moved to the mountains. I became a life coach and mountain hiking guide.

Now I have the privilege of helping successful people who live in fear of being found out as a fraud to stop being afraid, to acknowledge their own very significant contributions to their success and to start figuring out what the life they choose looks like!

So my question to you is:

What fears will you conquer this year?!

As always…

Daring Guide & Coach

I guide people who are visionaries, change-makers, rulebreakers and those who feel stuck in the frustrating DO-ing of everyday life and work, into quiet, expansive mountains to help them refocus on what life for them is all about.

As we walk through mountains they reclaim their Identity, regain Clarity and take back their Power so they can re-connect with and live in line with who they truly are; with their essence.

The mountains are a magical place; uniquely suited to help us slow down, be present and get a different perspective on life.

A former project manager & consultant with 20+ years of experience, I am trained as a life coach and mountain hiking guide. I have a special gift for taking people on trails – in mountains and in life – they would never think of walking by themselves. I have a talent for both challenging and helping them reach heights they didn’t think themselves capable of.
