The Power of Oxygen 1st
When my son was little, I was a single mom who was doing it all alone. I was putting everyone else first and my own needs last. To everyone around me, I was successful but little did they know that my success was tied to pushing, stressing, sleepless nights and early morning workouts pushing my body and my limits to the extreme. Until one day I was flying alone and nearly crashed an airplane and I realized that I needed to take care of my own needs first before anyone else. You see, when you’re a pilot, if you have any issues in the plane, you put on your oxygen mask 1st, not your passengers. They need you to land the plane.
This podcast is all about this journey to healing, to getting clear on the desires of your heart… and stepping into them with courage while leaning into, asking for and receiving support. I hope you feel inspired to do less, to follow your passions and infuse them into your daily life and truly claim the life you were meant to live: a life filled to the brim with epic ADVENTURE.

EP 93: The Art of Letting Go: Release What Drains Your Energy and Step Into Your Role as Chief Energy Officer
What if the very thing you’re holding onto is the reason you feel stuck, exhausted, or uninspired?
In this episode, I am exploring the art of letting go in business, leadership, and life.
From releasing employees who no longer align to ending relationships or routines that drain your energy, I am sharing my powerful Grow or Go method for compassionate, clear, and effective release. You’ll learn why letting go isn’t failure, it’s leadership.
This episode is especially for those stepping fully into their role as Chief Energy Officer, whether in their business, their team, or their personal life.
