Your Partner in Reclaiming Focused Freedom

Do you ever feel like you're constantly putting out fires, pulled in a million directions by demanding bosses, pressing deadlines, and the never-ending needs of your team? I get it. I've been there. Back in my days in retail sales leadership, the pressure felt relentless. Every request – from corporate, HR, even my own team and their customers – seemed urgent, needed 'yesterday.' I was overworked, exhausted, and felt like my life was being dictated by everyone else's priorities.

That feeling of being completely overwhelmed became my turning point. I knew I had to take back control – to reclaim my time, my energy, my very life – from the external forces that seemed to be monopolizing it. This realization sparked a journey of self-discovery. I started with something simple: intentionally scheduling my day, from wake-up to bedtime, and being deliberate about the tasks in between. This simple act was transformative. It led me to the power of journaling, the focused productivity of the bullet journal method, and a continuous exploration of strategies to become my best self.

Out of this personal transformation, the 'Hijack My Life' podcast was born – a passion project dedicated to helping others do exactly what I did: take the reins of their own lives. My goal is to empower you to break free from the feeling of being controlled and step into a life of intention and purpose.

This journey of reflection and continuous improvement didn't stop there. As I progressed through my doctoral program in Higher Education Leadership, the practice of reflection, review, and revision became deeply ingrained. This ongoing process has shaped me into the authentic and effective leader I am today – someone who understands the delicate balance required to lead from the middle, navigating organizational demands while nurturing and motivating your team. My unique approach isn't just based on theory; it's forged in the fires of real-world leadership and the personal triumph of overcoming burnout myself. I truly understand the pressures you face.

My deeper motivation is to see my clients experience true freedom. Freedom from the mental shackles of self-imposed limitations and the expectations they believe the world has of them. I am most passionate about helping stressed leaders like you get out of your own way, cultivate a positive mindset, and see a clear path forward with genuine hope.
