Trailguide

I walk my talk. I've done these things — and I guide my clients through their own.

Why This Matters to You

I'm not a coach who read about transitions in a book. I am the book.

Every chain link I teach you to break, I've had wrapped around my own ankles. Every "what's next" question I ask you, I've asked myself — through cancer twice, through divorce, through loss, through retirements that didn't turn out to be final, through falls and surgeries and the long slow work of healing from each one.

I don't guide from a place of having arrived. I guide from the trail itself, because I'm still walking it.

I Walk My Talk

Every guide worth following has gone first.

Not in theory — in boots, on the actual trail, through the actual weather. Here is my trail, in the order I walked it.

It started with slow travel. Then I built a fee-based financial planning business and earned my CFP®.

At 42, I went on six months of bed rest to have a baby. And I healed from breast cancer.

I sold the business. I retired.

I divorced. I lost almost everything.

I untethered. I pivoted. I planted again.

I wrote a book.

I retired again — a different season, for different reasons.

I married, and honeymooned across Europe for nearly a year of slow travel.

I wrote two more books. I became a certified business advisor.

I fell down and hurt myself. I healed.

I wrote a book. I healed from lung cancer and a robotic surgery I never saw coming. I wrote another book. I wrote guides.

You Are Here

And now? I'm planning a trek around America — in a motorhome. Slow travel, again, on my own terms, in this next chapter.

The Question We Ask Together

Not "what's wrong" and not "what's lost."

What's next? The next God-directed calling.

That's the question that has moved me forward every time — before I sold the business, before I married again, before I picked up the pen for book four, before I said yes to the surgery, and before I started planning the motorhome trip I'm packing for now.

If you're standing at your own trailhead — whatever transition brought you here — that's the question I want to ask with you.
