'I was strong and independent not by choice—it was survival."

A few years ago, I sat on a Hawaiian beach with everything I'd built crumbling around me. Despite a successful legal career and multiple thriving preschool centers, unrecognized burnout had led to choices that cost me nearly everything.

That one-way ticket to Hawaii with just two carry-on bags, it wasn't a vacation—it was rock bottom wrapped in paradise.

But sometimes rock bottom becomes the solid foundation you need to build something extraordinary.

The Awakening That Changed Everything

On that beach, exhausted and questioning everything I thought I knew about success, I had a profound realization:

I hadn't become strong and independent because I chose it. I became strong and independent because circumstances demanded it. And there's a massive difference.

That sunset moment revealed what would become the foundation of everything I now teach: True success isn't measured by how much you can handle alone, but by how well you can harmonize achievement with well-being.

This awakening birthed The R.I.C.H. Signature Method® (Realize I am Consciousness Happening)—not from theory, but from the raw necessity of rebuilding my life from authentic alignment rather than external expectations.

Today, I guide ambitious executives and entrepreneurs to avoid the burnout trap and create their own R.I.C.H. Signature® - “thriving in business while living a life they love."

It’s a Great Day to BE  R.I.C.H.!
