EXTRAORDINARY WOMEN  EXTRAORDINARY LIVES

Over the past two decades, I've worked with senior executive women on personal
branding, image development, and executive presence worldwide. Given the impact of
work challenges, community commitments, and personal life, exhaustion creeps in,
often resulting in burnout and other health concerns.

I faced burnout headfirst in 2019, shortly after completing a graduate degree. My oldest
son was in a terrible car accident requiring around-the-clock care for several months
and a wedding that same year, all while trying to maintain a sense of self, my business,
community engagement, and my sanity. It was all too much. My weight shot up, my skin
began to change, there wasn't a concealer on the market to help the under-eye bags, and my mental attitude about work spiraled fast. Welcome 2020 with our second grandson
in early March, and the rest, as we know, is history. We were all forced with the
unknown. That was a time of reckoning when I faced how I lived and evaluated this
"glamorous" life I had created. I had achieved a level of success. I was a known
influencer both in my industry and community. Still, I knew I could not carry this pace
and live a fulfilling extraordinary life without sacrificing my health and well-being. This
was my mantra! Many of my clients were also experiencing the same thing. This was
bigger than just stress. In addition to burnout, we all were wrestling with some phases of
menopause. Well-being and health are paramount to an extraordinary life.
As Founder of The Extraordinary Life Institute, I am committed to helping ensure the
total well-being of high-performance women in the workplace. 

Our mission is to help organizations and senior executive women experiencing burnout
and stress implement simple strategies for more time and freedom to do things that
create joy, meaning, and optimum work performance.
