Retiring at 41 wasn’t the end of my success story; it was the beginning of something deeper.

For years, I carried it all: COO, CFO, sales leader, manager, owner—often at the same time. I was scaling businesses and solving problems nonstop. From the outside, I looked successful. But inside, I was burned out, overextended, and quietly wondering how long I could keep pushing without breaking.

The breakthrough came when I realized just because I could do something didn’t mean I should. When I aligned my work with how I’m naturally wired to lead, everything changed. I stepped out of what drained me, leaned into what energized me, and ultimately exited day-to-day operations with more clarity, freedom, and impact than ever before.

That journey became the foundation for Genius Rising: a consulting practice for ambitious leaders who are ready to rise into their next chapter without burning out.

Today, I guide high-performing executives to create sustainable success—not through generic, “one-size-fits-all” strategies, but through personalized, behaviorally informed frameworks rooted in how they’re built to thrive.

Because the most impactful leaders don’t try to do it all; they lead from their Genius Zone.
