A little ditty about me...

I am a wife, mom of 4 unique daughters and trying to love and lead them to their best self just like you.  I am also an adventurer, eternal organizer, lifetime student, former worth chaser and trauma survivor.

In my professional life I am an author and speaker in the space of family life & leadership with an extensive background in helping parents and other leaders of the next generation of young women navigate through the good, great, hard and sticky parts of childhood to the greatest and strongest beginning of their adulthood.

Childhood, tween, teen and young adult years can be awkward and sometimes an uneasy balance of building them and releasing them at the same time as they prepare to launch into the world. And, to make things a little more quirky and challenging, every child is unique, which means guiding them will be too. 

A few more details...

We live in coastal NC in the USA and we love small town living.  I blame Gilmore Girls, Heart of Dixie, One Tree Hill and Dawson's Creek for that (many of which were filmed in the very town I now live in). 

It was a dream for a couple of midwest kids to move to NC and we chose to live out our dream as a family starting in 2015.

This was when we also decided, even with absolutely no prior experience, that homeschooling would be the best option for us to try and for seven years we did just that.  That experience is truly one of my most treasured gifts, not that every day was roses, but when I look back, there was so many of my favorite moments in, or because of, the freedoms associated with, homeschool.

I am an avid reader, lover of personal, faith, family and leadership development and always striving to be a better version of myself than I was the day before. 

I am a Christian, a servant in several roles, a speaker, a podcaster, an author and a family life & leadership coach. 

I started The 6570 Project because I see the great potential of childhood and adolescence that we have with our own kids and those we lead.  This is the training ground for their adulthood and not something to be left to chance or simple hope.  This time is for forging relationships, giving guidance, building trust and harnessing connection and you do this together. 

The world we live in is complicated and I was not quite ready for it when I left home at 17. I was tremendously hurt and went through many complications on a decades long healing journey as a result.

Today's young women face even more and bigger obstacles to build a fortified, Christ-centered, foundation of worth, esteem and confidence.  

Habits, behaviors and beliefs are conditioned in the first 6570 days (and even up to 9125 days)  and those set the course for so much more in their future lives. 

If we can establish positive and strategic thinking, critical problem solving, relationship building, emotional resilience, faith understanding and ownership, positive and growth mindset practices and abundant curiosity and grace when they are home and dancing in the kitchen with us, around a ball field or in small groups THEN we can change lives and even change the world.  

It really comes down to leading our kids toward true worth, real self-esteem and unwavering confidence through a secure relationship with Jesus Christ. The wisdom, relationships, respect, understanding and perspectives that are born and curated through this process are priceless. 

All of my life's work from faith, leadership, biology, psychology, personal development, real world culture and experiences and every adventure and failure has led me to being able nurture and guide you because I have been there too.  

I am truly blessed by what I do for a living and love to connect with the lives and stories of every person and family I mentor.

I hope to cross paths with you soon and we can be a better people for being a part of one another's story.

All for now...
