The Story Behind My Why

I’ve always believed in the brilliance of service and oriented leaders. Their ability to lead with both heart and strategy. To nurture families, steward movements, build empires and still hear the whisper of G-d in the quiet moments.

Degrees. Leadership Titles. A business. A beautiful marriage. Two incredible children. But behind the scenes, there was a quiet unraveling. A storm that didn’t just shake my confidence; it shook my sense of purpose.

That chapter brought me to my knees and in that stillness, I became lost, confused and angry. I like to say I hit a wall, slid down the wall and just laid at the bottom of the wall for a whole year.

But deciding to rebuild from that place changed everything. It taught me that clarity is often born in collapse—and that in collapse, we’re invited to reimagine a new way forward.

Today, much of my work is still concerned with what happens when the way we have been working, leading, or understanding ourselves no longer fits. I work with leaders, organizations, and teams navigating decisions that carry real human consequences, whether those decisions involve people, technology, care, or change.

I started asking: Was any of what I had built meaningful? Aligned? Or even what I still wanted? What happens, when I outgrow, what I've worked so hard to build.

But I also believe in something deeper:

On paper, I’ve lived many versions of success:

That the same systems we are working to breakdown externally are the same systems that we are working to break down internally. Systems causing many to unconscioulsy lead and create from fear and self-censorship.

my mission

I have given myself permission to work across the places where my experience genuinely meets my curiosity. Clinical care. Leadership. Technology. Writing. The questions that surface when people and organizations are changing faster than they can fully make sense of.

I remain deeply interested in the internal life of leadership because the person making the decision does not disappear when they enter the boardroom. Their judgment, fear, values, capacity, and sense of responsibility travel with them.

My work today includes advisory and consulting, speaking, psychotherapy, and writing. Across each of those settings, I am interested in how people make consequential decisions, how we remain human inside systems under pressure, and what becomes possible when we are willing to examine what we have been carrying forward simply because it once worked.

Writing has been one of the ways I make sense of change.

I have seen the same happen for other people. Putting experience into language requires us to decide what we believe happened, what it meant, what we want to carry forward, and what we are ready to leave behind.

That is part of why books have remained important throughout my work. I have written three of my own, supported other authors, and continue to write about the questions I am still living inside.

I may no longer center publishing support in my work, but I still believe there is something powerful about giving an idea, a season, or a body of wisdom a form that can outlive the moment in which it was created.
