In my high school Spanish class, I wrote a children’s book called "¿Qual Color Soy?" (What Color Am I?). The story follows a turtle on a journey to find her true color, guided by various animal friends offering their own suggestions. It’s only when she meets the beautifully colorful Mariposa (“butterfly” in Spanish) that she realizes her color is her own choice. She ultimately decides to be green, a color no one had suggested, symbolizing her true identity.

Why This Matters

That story from my teenage years reflects a core belief that shapes my coaching practice today. Since the first days of our lives, we have been inundated with influences telling us how to think, feel, act, and who to be. Intentional living means revisiting those influences, deciding what to keep, what to tweak, and what to let go of entirely.

My Coaching Philosophy

For me, coaching is about the journey of thoughtfully considering who you are and who you want to be, and making that your reality, regardless of past influences. When you realize the choice is yours, you can shift the way you think, which will spur new feelings, motivating different actions. You then intentionally become exactly who you want to be and who you were ultimately meant to be.

Are You Ready to Transform?

Are you a pink turtle wanting to explore all the hues and shades that guide you? A colorless turtle eager to discover the palette that will help you live your best life? A blue turtle believing your best self is a different color? Or perhaps a lion ready to roar?

You deserve to create your life with intention—the way you think, feel, and act—and to embrace all the possibilities that come with it!

Let’s talk and start your transformation journey together.
