Before we begin . . .
"You're probably here because you want to know more about me.Here's what matters: I didn't build this work because life was easy or organized. I built it because it wasn't.I needed systems that could hold my life when I couldn't-and show me the next right step. That's what became my work.Today, I help people clear the noise, see what matters, and move forward without burning out. Not by doing more, but by getting and staying current.You don't need to have it all figured out.You just need a place to start.With love,
There's a story about pencils, a sandbox, and 5,642 miles that explains how I got here:
It shouldn't be this hard.
A year from now, you could look back and realize you actually did the things that mattered to you - the book, the health, the money, the life you kept meaning to get to?This work helps you get clear on what you want, loosen the stories that quietly hold you back, and put a simple, kind framework in place so progress feels possible again. The work is tailored to you, your life, your pace, your season.You don't need to rush.
You don’t need to wait.
I’m told that when I was five years old, I was given four pencils. I sold them on the playground, bought eight more, and promptly opened a pencil store in the sandbox. My parents worried I’d start too many silly businesses, skip college, and amount to nothing. For a while, they were right.I took a destructive detour - three packs of Marlboros a day, Nutella my main food group, 340 pounds, and very few hours awake in class. We partied hard. Then my best friend, Gina, died of an aneurysm when we were 19. After her funeral, I looked in the mirror and understood something clearly: if I kept going, I was heading the same way. In a strange and painful way, she saved my life.I moved 5,642 miles away and started over.Changing direction is hard when everyone expects the worst of you - especially when you expect it of yourself. I left my native France for the U.S. with $1,200 and all the English I’d learned listening to Supertramp. Distance helped. No one knew my story. I could write a new one.I lost 200 pounds. I earned a Master’s in Journalism and Psychology. I became a correspondent for French magazines, wrote three books, worked on projects with Nelson Mandela and Arianna Huffington, and grew a company from $11 to $10M. I speak English now.I know my story isn’t your story.
But I’m pretty sure you’ve lived your own difficult chapters.I know what it’s like to feel lost and not see a way out. I know the courage it takes to choose differently - and the value of having guides along the way. What I’ve learned about the human spirit is this: it wants to be free. It wants to overcome. It wants you, the hero, to win in the end.I’ve taken everything I’ve learned and turned it into simple methodologies that help people rewrite their stories, build bridges between their past and their future, and move toward what they truly want.Every time I go back to Paris, I buy a pencil to remember where I came from.
