Before you read any further, let's get a few things clear...
I will not … AT ANY POINT … subject you to the typical sales funnel marketing bullshit which saturates the internet these days.
I will not offer you a "free" Discovery Call (really a sales call) as a way to entice you into a coaching program.
I am looking for DEEP and MEANINGFUL connections with REAL people.
If I offer you a free coaching call, it will be exactly that … a coaching call.
That being said, here's a little about me …
I am vegan straight edge, meaning I don't consume animal products, alcohol, tobacco, or recreational drugs. I have lived this lifestyle for over 24 years and have spent 14 years eating a wholefoods plant based diet - no oil, salt, processed sugar, or refined foods.
I'm straightforward...
Upfront...
And honest.
I will say things as your coach I would not say as your friend.
That's because I care, and you succeeding is more important to me than what you might think you know.
I am NOT about discipline.
I am about effortlessly leaning into your AUTHENTIC SELF - discipline isn't necessary.
I do not endorse competition - it will always leave you one step behind. Follow your own path.
I dropped out of school at the age of 12 and was subsequently diagnosed with anxiety and OCD. At the age of 14, I spent almost a year in an Adolescent Mental Health Unit.
Growing up, I was obsessed with The X Files.
I listen to all kinds of music but mainly punk, rock, edm, and new age. I'm also a bit of a trekkie (TNG, DS9, and Voyager).
I don't care where you're at financially. I'm more interested in where you want to go and who you want to BE.
Totalitarian in my approach - some may find this intense and uncomfortable, but if your commitment to something is only 98%, you've not made a real decision. There will always be times when you'll be questioning if a situation is a "2% one."
I value honesty, integrity, and sincerity.
I'm not interested in superficial stereotypes. I dress how I like - informal. My priority is bringing results, not dressing to impress. If you have a problem with this, we're probably not the right fit.
When I was 12 I wrote a letter to my future self. It was a reminder and request to always stay true to the magic of childhood and never sell out.
I never sold out.
