I am the #1 bestselling author of Win Your Breakup: How To Be The One That Got Away. Along with coaching clients around the world and doing in-person events, I write relationship, self-help, and life advice here on my blog and have created a community with courses, live Q&As and more on my app. My life’s mission is to get you to become attracted to what’s good for you instead of what triggers you into always trying to be “good enough.” I want to help you stop caring about what people think and start asking yourself what YOU think. This isn’t about settling. It’s about upgrading and getting to experience a level of happiness and emotional freedom that most can only dream of. I write and speak from the perspective of a straight woman (me). I cannot authentically write from any perspective or experience other than my own. However, I am honored to have coached thousands of people around the world and to have many readers from the LGBTQ Community. Everyone struggles with the same confusion, pain, and toxicity – it’s just different body parts and dynamics. The common denominators are always the same, and our pain is what connects us all. Choosing to give that pain a purpose is what makes us family. Although I write from the perspective of a straight woman, what I write about does not discriminate against gender, orientation, age, or stage in life. I do not, in any way, want to exclude anyone. Additionally, I have a huge problem with and no respect for people who engage in male-bashing. Men are NOT the problem. Toxicity is the problem, self-hatred is the problem, and unhealed trauma is the problem – not men. I have many male clients and readers all around the world.
