YEAR BY YEAR
2023
THE YEAR I STILL FELT STUCK
In 2023, I graduated from business school, got out of a long-term relationship, and began rethinking what I wanted for my life. Even though I loved my HR role and the people I worked with, I had been with the same company for more than a decade and felt ready for a new chapter. I enrolled in my PhD program with a clear intention to build a career in business psychology.
2024
THE YEAR THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING
In 2024, I stepped away from my full-time HR manager position so I could focus on my PhD and reassess the path I wanted to take. I picked up different types of work including uber Eats, photography at Dave and Busters, anything that helped me stay afloat until I found my way back to supporting people. I knew I didn’t want to jump into another full-time job right away. When my home flooded and I had to move to a new city, I suddenly had to rebuild my life from the ground up. It was a disorienting season, but it became the catalyst for deeper clarity and a new beginning.
2025
A YEAR OF GROWTH
In 2025, I dedicated myself to finishing my PhD and diving into the heart of my dissertation. Alongside that, I immersed myself in life coaching courses, sex counseling training, and somatic work. It was a year of deep personal and professional reflection. I struggled with the tension between pursuing I/O psychology and offering one-on-one healing, until I finally realized those paths could exist together. As I started working with more clients, the vision for my future business became clearer. This is the year I laid the ground work for my business.
2026
THE FUTURE
2026 is the year I hope to graduate and expand into the next chapter of my business. With the groundwork already laid, I’m ready to grow, refine my offerings, and step fully into the work I feel called to do and hopefully, it will be the year we work together.
