They say grief is love searching for its home.

Losing her made me realize that my true home was within me.

I began to redirect the love toward myself and became my own best friend first.

Mind you, this transformation wasn't all roses and butterflies, it didn’t happen overnight.

After weeks of isolating myself from the world, I decided that I needed support.

My lifelong strategy of “I can do it alone” was no longer serving me.

So, I opened up to my friends and allowed them to be there for me.

Pairing their support with professional coaching from the incredible Carin Rockind became my magic potion to bounce forward.

She helped me battle the guilt of prioritizing myself, the fear of disappointing others, and the weight of self-doubt. I rediscovered my strengths and embraced both my warm, kind self AND my fierce, adventurous spirit—the part of me I had nearly forgotten.
This transformation led me to divorce my ‘perfect’ husband after 20 years and pivot my business from innovation to (inner) leadership, all while launching the bird (!), as my daughter was preparing to study abroad.

If I can do it, so can you - maybe even better!
I hear your inner voice saying, "I could never do that...".

I know you can!

I am not telling you to divorce and change jobs, unless that's what you want.

What I am saying is to go after what truly matters to you, what is gnawing at you, that burning desire...

Whether it's writing that book, speaking up in your relationships, starting your own business, asserting yourself, starting a podcast, prioritizing YOU for a change, or pursuing a new job—you’ve got this.

You’re not crazy, and you’re not alone.

I believe in you.

Find the courage to face your fears and do it anyway.

Because life can be too short...

Do you know that the number one regret of the dying is

"I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me."

No comment.

I am now at a point in my life where:

I journal on what I am proud of, every day.
I embrace any feedback I receive, as well as the validation I don’t receive.
I prioritize my own well-being.
I feel centered, confident, and powerful to go after what matters to me.

Well, on most days anyway.

On the not so glorious days, I tap into self-compassion, into my own inner best friend, the voice of Ronette. I hear her tell me it's OK not be OK, asking me what I need, inviting me to be kind to myself.

I tap into my emotional and mental agility to move through the challenges

You will only be Unstoppable if you work in your zone of genius and embrace the things that make you feel in total alignment.

For me, this means that I only work with women who:

Are committed to putting in the (hard) self-work to learn and grow, and
Have the willingness and ability to reflect on their thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors, and
Desire to feel balanced to create a life that feels authentic to them.

This also means that if this is what you want:

Continue running in the hamster wheel of meeting other people’s expectations.

Find someone who will listen to all your sorrows and receive acknowledgment that your life really sucks.
Blame your manager, your parents, and/or your significant other for everything that has happened to you.

then I am NOT for you!

If you are not into taking ownership to change your life, you generally feel like a victim and you just want to continue reading self-help books and listening to podcasts, or anything else that will keep you from having to take courageous steps, it's all good.

I'm just not your girl.

Still here? I knew I liked you.

A pink heart

Did you know that flamingo’s feathers are pink because of the carotene in the algae, mollusks, crustaceans they eat?

The right nutrition seems to be essential for these beautiful animals to be their own true selves.

I want to be that nutrition for you....

I want to nurture you to become your own best friend.

So that you can connect with your beautiful heart and give yourself the love you deserve.

So that you can stand tall and strong in your power, on two legs or one!

So that you can spread your wings and soar like a flamingo in the wild.

Embracing your whole true self.

The Blue ocean

Diving deep into the depth of the ocean...

Uncovering the depth of our being and of our emotions.

Surfing the waves of life.

The infinite horizon with endless opportunities.

For me the blue ocean is a symbol of a hopeful, positive and empowered perspective on ourselves.

From there we can choose our path and grow. Blue is freedom, the sky that has no limit.

I love being on or close to the ocean, on the beach for example. The endless rhythm and sounds of the waves has a meditative effect on me. I can watch and listen for hours. It brings me peace, harmony and love. Love for the world around me and love for myself, enjoying it all.

Hence The Blue Flamingo!
