For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to exploring human potential—what becomes possible when we truly turn inward and meet ourselves honestly.

That curiosity led me to places like the Esalen Institute, Modern Elder Academy, and Tony Robbins Date With Destiny, peeling back the roles of mother, daughter, wife and working professional to reconnect with who I am underneath it all. It’s what also guided me to my work at goop, helping women access more agency and beauty in their lives.

But this path hasn’t just been professional—it’s been deeply personal.

Over the years, I’ve invested in my own growth through many modalities I once questioned or resisted: therapy (individual and marriage), hypnotherapy, regression work, MDMA-assisted therapy, executive and life coaching, and countless hours of learning, reflecting, and unlearning.

The culmination of it all has been the realization that for much of my life, I lived by the value of sacrifice—giving, holding, tending… often at the expense of myself.

I finally awoke to the truth that this outdated value no longer serves me nor my loved ones. In working with my own coach, I stepped into a new way of being and reclaiming a new core value — one that I would be proud to pass on to my own children: Radiance.

A noun, not a verb.

A way of living rooted in vitality and wholeness. Being fully expressed and deeply resourced.

I no longer run around shining a dim flashlight on everyone else while my own light is depleted.

My Radiance—my energy, my joy, my well-being—is the source. And when it’s alive, it naturally extends to the people and spaces I deeply care about.

I believe each of us is here with something uniquely ours to offer. Not to play small. Not to stay hidden. But to live in a way that feels fully aligned—and to let our light shine bright.
