June 1 – August 11, 2025
I am hitting pause on coaching, training, and speaking engagements to take on a bold challenge: sitting for the North Carolina Bar Exam.

It’s been 12 years since I passed the California Bar—and in that time, I've gained powerful insights into learning, balance, resilience, and the nervous system. Now, I'm walking my talk—dedicating this sabbatical to full-focus study, mind-body alignment, and practicing the wisdom I seek to share with others.

🔥 Follow along as I share what works—and what doesn’t—during this intense journey of growth.

I’ll be back August 11, sharper than ever and ready to serve at a whole new level.
