My Story...
There was the boy in the corner... he clearly didn't want to be there, didn't care, and was likely dreaming of a better time.
But for some reason, I immediately cared about him. I could see his potential - how intelligent he was on the inside - and how much stronger he was than he knew.
Perhaps no one had ever taken the time to really get to know him, or maybe he had proven others wrong so many times so they had just given up hope.
Whatever it was, I knew he could far exceed everyone's expectations (even his own) if I could just reach that part where he had given up - and get him to see how things could be different if only he would try.
Of course, I began helping this student whenever I had the chance... and I (as well as his main teacher) saw some outstanding improvements in him and his schoolwork over the next few months.
This began my love for helping ALL kids... especially the ones that were struggling a bit in one aspect or another.
You see, I had always LOVED helping others. I wanted to save every cat, dog, child, and person that I could since I was a little girl.
However, at the time, I was in graduate school to get my PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at UC Davis. I loved the idea of researching to help find a cure for cancer, but I just didn't feel like I was making enough of a difference. There were many passionate scientists, but in my heart I knew I was meant to help people.
My super power is seeing the strength inside of everyone. Especially when others have a hard time recognizing it.
Over anything else, my biggest joy in life is helping others overcome their challenges. This is my purpose.
I've since gone on to be a science teacher, sports coach, world championship qualifying triathlete, parent coach, author, mentor, business coach, school owner, amongst other things. But what brings me the most joy is helping others find their own inner strength and purpose and share it with the world.
I know without a shadow of a doubt that I can help just about every parent and child find a way to overcome life's challenges and discover a purpose and strength that will lead to a successful life and future.
I'm so glad you are here! Welcome to the joy of finding your child's true purpose.
