You're Too Young to Feel This Old

If you're here, you probably are too.

When you're succeeding at everything except your own life...

When everyone needs you but you can't even help yourself...

When your life looks perfect but feels empty...

You're ready for something to change.

You're not broken. You've been living in boxes that were never meant to contain you.

Life That Feels Like Yours

Our Story, Your Path

Life’s Too Big for Small Boxes

The Box-Breaking Method™ helps you step out of the roles and rules that keep you small, without blowing up the life you’ve built. This is your space to pause, breathe, and finally start living a life that feels like yours.

The Moment Everything Shifted
At 53, I realized I wasn’t living my own life, I was living the one everyone else expected of me. From the outside, I looked like the dependable friend and community “mayor,” but inside, I felt invisible and exhausted.

Breaking Free, One Step at a Time
I didn’t need a dramatic overhaul, just the courage to take gentle, deliberate steps toward myself. As I broke those boxes, everything shifted: my health, relationships, and sense of self started to heal.

Your Path Back to a Life That Fits

The Box-Breaking Method™

This isn’t about blowing up your world or chasing quick fixes. It’s about noticing the invisible rules you’ve been living by, loosening their grip, and stepping into a life that feels like your own.

Step 1: Spot and Name the Boxes

Together, we’ll call out the quiet rules and labels, Good Employee, Perfect Mother, People Pleaser that have been running your life. Seeing them clearly is the first crack of freedom.

Step 2: Prepare and Test Your Freedom

With small, low-risk steps, we’ll help you find your voice under the noise, turn fear into direction, and practice saying “no” or “yes” where it matters. This is about testing your edges without blowing things up.

Step 3: Build Your Life Outside the Box

Once you’ve tasted that freedom, we’ll create steady habits and boundaries that make it stick, so your relationships, work, and sense of self grow with you, not against you.

FAQs

Questions I Get Asked

How do you know this will work for me?

I don't make guarantees, and I can tell you this: if you're reading this and feeling "she gets it," we're probably a good fit. The method works because it's based on real experience, not theory.

I've lived in every box I help women break free from.

What if I don't know which "box" I'm in?

Most of us don't! These boxes are invisible until someone helps you see them. We'll figure it out together with assessments and honest conversation. No judgment, clarity.

I'm scared about disappointing people if I change

I get it. This is what I hear most on discovery calls - women would rather be miserable and connected than happy and alone. I used to burn my mother's letters before reading them because I knew they'd be full of disappointment about my choices.

Here's what I learned: the people who truly love you will support your growth, even when it's

uncomfortable. Healthy relationships actually get stronger when you stop requiring the other person to

manage your emotional wellbeing.

The ones who don't? Their reaction tells you about their limitations, not your worth

What if I'm "too old" to start over?

I started this journey in my 50s. You're not too old, you're perfectly positioned. You have wisdom, resources, and experience younger women don't have.

Plus, you're probably tired enough of living small to finally do something about it.

Will this require me to blow up my whole life?

Not at all. This is about conscious, gradual change.

We're not burning anything down, we're building something better. Some clients make big changes, others make small ones creating big shifts. You set the pace.

How is this different from therapy?

Therapy often focuses on healing the past. This work focuses on creating your future.

We're not processing what happened, we're actively designing what comes next.
(Though I'm a big fan of therapy and many clients do both!)
