I've always known I wanted to be a mom, but what I didn't expect was how much motherhood would challenge the identity I built as a high achiever. For years, my life revolved around goals, results, and career success, but becoming a parent completely shifted my priorities and sense of self. I realized my expectations and identity had to evolve because I was no longer the same person I was before kids.

In this video, I'm sharing 4 key lessons that helped me navigate the balance between my ambition and motherhood. You'll learn how parenthood can reshape and deepen your professional identity, why your well-being directly impacts your family's happiness, and how protecting your energy is the key to long-term fulfillment. I also talk about why I’ve found that I’m actually a better parent when I’m doing meaningful work that aligns with my purpose.

If you're a career-driven parent who feels torn between family and career, or if you're going through an identity shift after becoming a mom, this video will help you reconnect with yourself and find peace in this new chapter. Parenthood isn't the end of your ambition; it's the evolution of it.

I joined Benjamin Chan from the Organized Chaos Cafe, to talk all about my new book 'The Quiet Achiever’!

In this video, I’m sharing my insights on how to redefine confidence, communication, and leadership as an introverted professional. As a former CPA turned career strategist, I’ve worked with thousands of quiet achievers who often struggle with self-doubt and societal expectations. That’s why I want to dive deep into the unique challenges and strengths that introverts bring to the table—and how you can use them to your advantage.

I’ll be talking about the importance of mindset, the concept of the “bamboo ceiling,” and powerful strategies to strengthen your sense of self-worth and step into authentic leadership. You’ll also learn practical frameworks to overcome fear-based beliefs so you can move past hesitation and start showing up confidently in your career.

Together, let’s unlock your potential as an introverted professional and help you accelerate your growth, build confidence, and truly excel in your career.

Ever felt like you’re working hard and staying quiet at your job, but deep down, something just doesn’t fit? I’ve been there—quiet, unsure, and working my way up in a Big 4 accounting firm, only to be let go after years of effort.

If you constantly struggle to understand your work, feel boxed in by a role that doesn’t use your gifts, or keep fantasizing about quitting, you’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m sharing three key signs that you might be in the wrong career and how you can spot misalignment before it drains your energy and self-worth. You’ll learn how to get honest with yourself, recognize if your career path is holding you back, and ways to start moving toward a role that excites you. Watch to find clarity, validation, and the courage to step into a career where you can truly thrive.

I have to be real with you—the last few years have been full of big revelations for me, both personally and professionally. In this video, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing what’s really been going on behind the scenes: my husband’s incredible cancer healing journey, the wild inspiration that led to my new book “The Quiet Achiever,” and my transformation from career coach to someone on a much more heart-centered, authentic confidence-driven mission.

I also talk about the crazy premonition I had before the book ever existed and the major shift I’ve experienced in my identity. I’m still learning what it means to be deeply honest with myself, and as someone who’s always preferred keeping things to myself, I know now there’s nothing more powerful than being truly authentic. If you’ve ever felt pressure to keep pushing in your career while secretly asking, “Is this really it?”—I hope my story resonates with you. I’d love to hear if you connect with where I’m at.
