About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be Transformed.

ABOUT ME

I am a life coach, joy spreader, and speaker that is traveling around the country with my boyfriend and cat in our van that we built out. Her name is Ruth Bader Vansburg:) We are headed West from Denver and would love to learn different cities, meet amazing people, and leave this world with a little more love in it.

PHILOSOPHY

"Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they will be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the kindness, care, and understanding you can muster and do this without any thought of reward. Your life will never be the same." Og Mandino

I live my life to make a difference and for the relationships life creates. People are everything. Push yourself outside your comfort zone and have faith everything will fall into place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Standing staring at the "Before I die" wall in New Orleands, I realized in that moment the only way to transform the world is by first transforming ourselves.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn different languages. I am always looking to broaden my knowledge on any topic and so anything anyone has to share I would love to learn!
I love to share the experiences I have had and the difference phases of life we encounter. I can share anything about what I have come to know from life thus far!
