Making your
Dream

"Really, I am just a contrarian malcontent that asked too many questions.
I didn't like the answers I got, so I started looking into shit.
I tried a bunch of things, then practiced them.
I kept trying till I got the results I wanted.
You could do that too, but most people:
>don't want to fail that much,
>would rather it didn't take over 40 years,
>and don't want to spend as much money
or effort or time alone
... as my stubborn ass did. "
~Marinda
My goal is to make your work as
delightful as possible.
why do I care?
Because I have seen to many great people and great business destroyed by shit bosses.
During years being in leadership, being led, learning about leadership and observing leadership,
I learned 3 things
1/ That leadership is naturally feminine
2/ the last many years of masculine leadership brought many technological advances
3 / The time of standardization is coming to a close
4/ It is time for those of us that know how to do it differently to being getting clear and confident so we are ready for the transition.
There is a shift coming. We will be the ones to lead it. The time to prepare, is now.
I have made it my mission to use my experiences, wisdom, and knowledge gained to help caring and compassionate women leaders break and eliminate the burnout cycle, over come imposter syndrome, clearly see and develop, confidently lead, and comfortably expand their authentic, fun and fulfilling, prosperous and profitable dream business or practice.

Back Ground
This is where I show you how relatable I am,
so you can picture yourself in my shoes with my success....
Except... I am me, and you are you.
Who I am or what I have done,
has nothing to do with you.
So here we go.
I was a sick kid - soooo many doctor visits. I grew up in rural Wisconsin. I left as soon as I could. Most everyone in that small town was white and christian, they had never experienced anything else. Most of them thought the same, had the same small goals. I was different. I was bullied.
It was later, traveling to Colorado and meeting some of my Dad's coworkers, that I realized there are a ton of people of all different types and beliefs out there. if the 16 kids in my catholic grade school class didn't like me for me, I would find people in this big world that did.
Later, in high school, I did find other kids that thought the way I did. They took the time to get to know me and appreciate me for me. They were the outsiders. The ones that were different, the outsiders, they were my friends.

When everyone is the same, they look for differences.
When every one is different, we start looking for similarities.
True connection. Not just fitting in.
"The ones that were different, the outsiders, they were my friends."
That's a theme that has continued through my life.
I moved to Colorado shortly after high school, as soon as I was able, and created a life there.
It was here that I started my career in medicine. It was by chance. I had been working in hotels as an event coordinator, an assistant manager and other positions. When it became evident that that would not be a life long career, I took the first administrative position I could find. It was in a medical office as a surgery coordinator. That random chance began an 18 year career in healthcare. We will come back to that.
During this time, a scared little pit bull appeared on my porch. Us outsiders don't always find each other as easily. It was a transition time in my life. I was also coming out of a bad romantic relationship at the time. I was glad for the company of this outsider. It was during the time of the pit bull bans in Denver. We moved out of Denver, nearer the mountains. Getting Toby (that little pit bull) out for his walks, got me started hiking.
Yes, there some great times, but life was real too. I had some severe health issues. I was told that this was as good as it was going to get. I was in my mid 30's and not at all where I wanted to be in life. The low key mental health struggles I had at the time came to the forefront. "If this is as good as it is going to get, I'm out. I'm not doing this like this." "I started thinking of how I would end it all. Shortly later, the fight came back. Infusing me with its strength.
That sick kid grew up and started climbing mountains. After Toby passed away, I wanted to help more dogs. Over a number of years I fostered aprox 115. One of those I kept. His name was Roy.
Roy and I (and a friend) started a hiking group on Facebook and Meetup. It was a big group. There was a core few that became deep friends. We loved meeting all of the new people. Showing them places they would never have gone on their own and helping them with acheivements they wouldn't have accomplished by themselves. I loved our hikes and camping trips. There were so many experiences to be had.
It was during this time, I realized there had to be more to life than a 3% raise and 2 weeks off a year. I dove into personal development, entrepreneur training and then... deep spiritual work. Crystals, Sedona, Walking on fire, talking to trees, the whole thing. As "normal" started to unravel even more, I left healthcare.

I started coaching full time. Authenticity. Confidence. Always at the root of what I teach/coach. My coaching has taken many forms over the years, but it always comes back to those 2 things.
During this time of searching and transition. There was a retreat center ranch. There was a yoga studio. Started, then walked away from.
"I am going to give this shit one more try, but this time, damn it - we are doing it my way."
I still had the hiking group. I knew its time was coming to a close. One more big event. I became known for my full moon snow shoe events. We would snow shoe under the full moon and then enjoy a bon fire under the stars. It was through these events, I met my, now husband.
Our search for a home began. We both had ideas of what we wanted. We knew what we wanted it to feel like. We weren't finding it in Colorado. We decided to expand our search. Our first trip together was to New Mexico. It was the obvious place for our search to expand to. After a series of saying yes and taking the chances, we moved to our home here in southern New Mexico.
It hasn't always been pretty.
Is it supposed to be?
Leading isn't always pretty.
"This way,
this is where we are heading,
come along."
That is leading. That is leading a woman's way. Authentic and real.
Work with someone that has really lived.
