JOY Coach, Retreat Facilitator, Author of 'The Path to Joy'

I’ve always been fascinated by how people think—how perception shapes our reality. It’s easy to believe that the way we see the world is fixed, an unchangeable part of who we are. But it’s not. One of my favorite quotes from Wayne Dyer is: “Don’t believe everything you think.” Over the years, I’ve examined my own thoughts, questioning why I think the way I do. And I’ve realized something powerful: our thoughts are not set in stone. We have the ability to shift our perception, and in doing so, we can transform our lives. We can cultivate more joy, be gentler with ourselves, and embrace wonder—even if it’s not how we were raised or how we’ve lived until now. My work and my newsletter explore this idea—how we can reshape our thinking to create a life that feels different. A life that feels open, free, and full of possibility.
