Why you want to
Alchemize with MeÂ
Since 2007, I’ve heard my clients cry:
- “Why me?”
- “Why does this shit keep happening to me?”
- “Why do I keep doing the right thing and get passed over?”
- “Why do the guys keep winning and I keep losing?”
I call this a crisis in meaning. And my experience as a childhood sexual abuse (CSA) survivor has taught me that there is a burden of secrecy and suffering in shame alone that shuts a person down emotionally and mentally. This individual shut down has a ripple effect. If you’ve been suffering, it impacts you, your team, your department, your business, your industry, and ultimately society.
As a survivor I had to learn to navigate complex male-dominated work environments to push, shove, and fight my way through, leading to burnout, frustration and anxiety amplified by my past trauma of distrust and manipulation.
What truly happens to CSAs is that we are manipulated and groomed by our abusers. Because we are not developmentally prepared or give consent as a child, we don’t comprehend what is happening, therefore the manipulation and control get embedded into our psyche as “normal” which we bring to the workplace and constantly gaslight ourselves or let others control our moves.
As I began to unravel and peel back the layers of my abuse through wellness practices, empowerment tools, and pragmatic leadership strategies (and a whole lot of therapy), I was able to alchemize the weight of my experience into the radiance of my success.
Today, I am here to share my philosophy and framework for turning lead into gold through coaching and speaking with the people who have endured trauma in their lives. There is courage, tenacity and freedom hidden in your pain that can move mountains.
“If you’re a professional who has experienced CSA, you never give up because you are a survivor.”

The Spark
Alchemy Process
1. Trust in Intuition
You’ll never find the answers outside yourself. As you learn to embrace your power and grace, you gain the discernment to trust yourself, others who are worthy, and when to let go. The only certainty you can trust is change itself.
2. Dare to Be Free
The only bad choice is not choosing. You will be empowered to make your own choices. If the first choice isn’t where you want to be, then choose again. Choose to believe in yourself, be courageous, and vulnerable, and choose where you want to go. Don’t be afraid to break the rules.
3. Get Shit Done
If you are waiting for someone else, you’ll be waiting forever. Rise to the challenge and handle it in your way. Having the right tactics, knowing how to create security, and having a process for achieving what you desire will move mountains.
