I’m a podcast host, educator, and creative consultant with 10+ years in the education field— from leading in college admissions and career counseling to founding Brainery Tree Educational Consulting.

I’ve led workshops for organizations including Palm Health Foundation’s Train the Brain campaign and the Strong Women’s Summit, taught leadership classes for girls, and supported families through social-emotional learning and Conscious Discipline practices.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in English with a minor in Childhood Development from Florida State University, and my Gallup Clifton Strengths — Input, Intellect, Adaptability, Futuristic, and Ideation — reflect my visionary, creative, curious and empathetic nature.

For years, I did everything “right.” A career in education, a solid 40-hour workweek, a steady path that looked fine on paper — but inside, something kept whispering is this all there is to life?

After more than a decade guiding students, building a business, and mentoring others, I realized I’d lost touch with the same curiosity and aliveness I encouraged in everyone else. I was successful, but not fulfilled — a teacher who’d forgotten her own lesson.

During the beautiful chaos of having my third baby on my hip in 2023, I launched the Raising Wild Hearts Podcast — my inner curiosity was lit up and continues to be to this day.

Raising Wild Hearts is now a Top 5% global podcast, has a worldwide following, and has been a platform for the world’s leading experts and authors to come share their wisdom, expertise, research and—most importantly—their hearts.

Today, through my podcast, live events, and classes, I help others learn what I learned the slow way: all the answers you’re seeking already live inside of you and happiness is the prerequisite to success.

I believe walking your true purposeful path (even if it’s the one less traveled) is the most fulfilling work there is and hope you find some inspiration and courage to go after the dreams that have been on your heart.
