BASED ON A
*C R A Z Y * TRUE STORY
What does impossible mean? Well, this question has been a constant companion throughout my entire life…
I wasn’t always this grounded and empowered. Mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Heck, I won’t even kid you and make it seem like I now have everything figured out (ahem).
Truth is: I’ve failed, fallen and f*cked up so many times throughout my life that I could write a new book about what not to do. My journey towards mental and spiritual wellness began in my childhood. I was constantly rejected and made fun of as a kid and often felt alienated. I’ve said the right things to the wrong people. I’ve been in deep dark depression. And I almost lost my life. But more on that in a bit…
To say the least, it’s been one hell of a journey.
But here’s the big insight: throughout all the challenges & obstacles … hidden inside were tremendous gifts as well. With all the trials and errors, I’ve also been able to learn and discover a lot. About myself. About others. About the world. About the importance of clarity & vision. And about how a lot of things work.
Frankly, I’m a big nerd and I love it.
MY TIMELINE
(CLICK TO
SCROLL)
Pre 2000s
Born & raised on the Southside of Chicago. My forever home and place of total reckoning. This is where the artist inside of me was born – and my affinity for personal growth and writing. If it wasn’t for the love of my family, neighbors and the arts – who knows…
2010
Graduated from Vanderbilt University (Go Dores!) after a gap year studying abroad, traveling the world and learning more about life. This is also the time when I began to deepen in the meditation practice that I discovered in high school.
2013
Resigned from my dream job doing Global Brand Strategy & Creative Direction at DreamWorks Animation. Honestly because I wanted to have a closer connection to my clients and well … because I knew that I’d already met the love of my life. The twist: she happened to live in another country.

2014
The journey of entrepreneurship began! And so did living in Australia. But who am I kidding? The first few months looked exactly like this: wake up, have no idea what to do … go lay on the couch. Then not too long after, I went on to do my first $1 Million in affiliate marketing. I was pretty happy hitting that milestone!
2017
Diagnosed with stage-four cancer and from the beginning, I didn’t allow myself or anyone to refer to me as simply ‘a patient.’ I learned a lot and went on to have a life-saving transplant coupled with tons of alternative treatments. Then it was all sunshine & rainbows, right?! Nah. No one ever told me how hard the first year of remission could be. Depression ensued and an even deeper healing journey began. Gratitude and self-compassion became my saving grace.

2019
Moving Forward … I made a commitment to follow more of my f*ck yes(es) meaning ‘do more of what lights me up and honor myself’ … while still supporting others along the way because my life wouldn’t be complete without it. I went back to ‘school’ and successfully received certifications in facilitating, human skills & investing and I consciously decided to finally move forward with my life.
2023
Just getting started and I’m so damn grateful for it all. Today, I’m building & creating stuff that makes a difference and that helps others (and me). Keep scrolling down to learn more about what I’m currently up to.

SO WHAT DOES IMPOSSIBLE MEAN? WELL, IT MEANS 'I’M POSSIBLE.'
SO WHAT DOES IMPOSSIBLE MEAN?
TO ME, IT SPELLS OUT "I’M POSSIBLE!"
This goes for you. For me. And everyone else. Over the years, I’ve come to realize that we can all be the master architects of our lives – if we choose to be. But here’s the thing … to truly, truly embody this – well – that’s both the ongoing challenge and the quest. That’s the real work.
Eleanor Roosevelt famously said the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. What a profound statement, right? When you actually take a few moments to step back and truly consider this: What are my dreams? What’s really important to me in my life, and why? And probably the most critical question of all: What’s currently getting in the way? … What comes up?
Today, my ventures are largely centered on helping others find answers to these important questions. Along with several partners, I’ve been able to help 100,000s of people throughout the world make shifts in their lives through cool projects, products & experiences. Here are a few of my ventures:
