A movement inviting us to explore what lives beneath the surface in our homes, our leadership, and ourselves.
A movement inviting us to explore what lives beneath the surface in our homes, our leadership, and ourselves.
What is happening silently underneath the floorboards?
What is shaping how we lead?
What is quietly influencing the choices we make?
What’s In Your Neighborhood invites courageous examination of the inner landscapes that shape our lives and our impact. What began as a deeply personal journey has evolved into storytelling, conversation, and community designed to help us see what we have learned to hide.
Because what we refuse to see does not disappear.
And what we are willing to face can transform us.
What’s in our neighborhoods matters. When we have the courage to remove masks, healing becomes possible.

Conversations for the shame-shifter in all of us.
What's in YOUR Neighborhood Podcast brings thoughtful dialogue to the intersection of leadership and self awareness.
It is a space where leaders examine the unseen forces that shape their decisions, relationships, and influence.
Because leadership without self-examination has limits.

A nonprofit community for professionals impacted by adversity.
A community for professionals navigating trauma, addiction, and mental health challenges while striving to lead and live fully.
It’s a space of belonging, shared experience, and collective healing. Through connection, advocacy, and support, individuals can shift from isolation toward strength and voice.
Our first 100 charter members can join the community at no cost!

The book, currently in development, is a memoir exploring what happens when silence is broken and what becomes possible when we confront the realities within our families and ourselves.
It invites readers to remove the masks that may have led to success but have also acted as shields that keep shame in place. It calls us into a deeper reckoning with our own stories and the systems that shaped them.
This is where the movement began.
I am a mother, I am a wife, I am a trauma survivor, and a woman in recovery.
I am an executive coach and consultant who has worked with hundreds of leaders across five continents from startups to Fortune 50 organizations for three decades.
I have struggled with work addiction, burnout, imposter syndrome, and wearing masks to shield parts of my identity. Those masks were shaped by deep shame. I still work to lay them down, and that ongoing process is what inspired this movement.
I'm here to talk about it.
I have come to believe that some of the most important work we do as leaders is in the quiet corners of ourselves, our emotional neighborhoods. This has become even more evident in today's organizations; it has also become my passion.
I have lived experience of more than 40 years of generational trauma, PTSD, struggles with mental health, teenage addiction, and navigating motherhood with children facing these same challenges.
I am a person who has lived in adversity, but I am also a person who walks with hope and resilience. I live today in acceptance, agency, vulnerability, and truth. I am a proud neurodivergent woman. For many many years, I hid these truths and wore masks and armor as shame shields. I AM a shame shifter.
I believed deep inside I was never enough, there was never enough, and tried to prove my worth through performance and achievements. I told myself a narrative that I had acted my way to the top. You can hear all about this journey if you choose to read my companion memoir which is still in progress.
Today, I walk proudly with over 30 years of recovery from alcoholism. My ongoing work in therapy and my journey through adversity has become my compass, which guides me to continually explore and expand my inner landscape.
Come walk these streets with me, and let's discover what's in YOUR neighborhood!
Whether you arrive here as a reader, a leader, or someone seeking connection, this work asks one central question:
What is living beneath the surface?
When we are willing to look, speak, and listen differently, we learn to come home to ourselves.
