“I can’t even begin to design what I want. I only know what I don’t want.”
That was me before I hired my coach. And why I designed the Live in Joy program. For people where I was – longing for more than “doing just fine,” yet stuck in a sub-passionate pattern.
Relatable?
We can change this up together.
You can Live in Joy.
Have you been living from the place of:
- choosing the least-worst option instead of what you’re excited for?
- feeling capable, but simply not knowing what you want to do next?
- hiding out supporting a loved one’s more impassioned, clearer goals?
- postponing improvements until your circumstances are “right?”
- a dispassionate fatigue that you’d really like to put a stop to?
If any of your answers are sitting heavily with a deep, knowing ‘yes,’ and you’re motivated to not have any more of your precious life feel this way, this program was made for you. It offers more structure than open-ended therapy or “blank slate” coaching sessions. I designed the program I wish I’d have been offered when I was unknowingly sidelining my own joy. Playing it safe, not yet realizing I was entrenching more of the same. I needed an outside influence, and a loving, powerfully reflective coaching partnership made all the difference.
Program objective:
The Live in Joy program will allow you to (re)discover your essence and purpose, create a vision and define projects you are genuinely excited to action, with a solid foundation to build them on.
You will become clear on your own empowered “whys,” freeing your mental bandwidth from running never-ending re-evaluations and self-critiques. Instead, you’ll have that energy – clean, available, and expansive – working entirely for you. Coming from this place, all your relationships are likely to take on a reinvigorated ease.
My objective is to partner with you to create immediate and lasting value for yourself in every session and between our sessions. To have this happen in a way that’s loving, inviting and fun….on top of being spectacularly impactful and vastly more productive than going it alone.

Dedication to Jennifer Quigley:

“Live in joy,” was the motto of my brilliant best friend Jennifer Quigley, who we lost mortally, but certainly not in life impact on November 14, 2025, at age 48. Jen, an English major and “active-voice”-uncompromising educator, improved my long-dispensed advice to, “Never postpone joy.”
Jennifer is greatly missed, but her key message remains – perhaps even accentuated by our tragic loss. Choosing to live in joy is belief we shared and endeavoured to embody. I am here to help others live in joy.
