I've been building businesses since I was seven—selling herring and lemonade off
a dock in BC.

By my 30s, I'd founded and exited three companies, scaled a media empire and experiential brand to multiple six figures, and was named Startup Entrepreneur of the Year.

On paper, I'd made it.
In real life, I was running on empty.
I'd built success on a foundation of depletion— overworking, over-functioning, convincing myself burnout was just "the cost of ambition."

Then came my breaking point:  My father ended up in a Colombian prison, and I was running three businesses while trying to hold my life together.

That crisis forced a question I'd been avoiding:
How much longer can I sustain this?

The answer: I couldn't.

So I rebuilt—around my nervous system, my boundaries, and my actual life. I stopped optimizing performance and started building capacity.
I stopped running from inadequacy and started running towards enough.

The result?

25% year-over-year growth at The Gathering.
More peace. More profit. More presence. No burnout.

That transformation became my method. That method became my book. That book became this work.

Now I help leaders do the same—build capacity before they need it,
lead from clarity instead of chaos, and create impact that doesn't cost them everything.

Because you can't outwork what you won't feel.
And leadership that lasts requires being resourced, not depleted.
