Raised by a single mother who never had the luxury of slowing down, I witnessed firsthand what it meant to carry a vision alone and make it work. She taught me strength, resourcefulness,
and how to build a life from scratch. I carried that into
everything I touched.

For over a decade, I poured that energy into Olives & Grace, the award-winning retail space I built in Boston. It became a hub for emerging makers, creative neighbors, and soulful brands. Community wasn’t just part of the business plan, it was the plan. And it worked. Until it didn’t.

Motherhood changed everything.
Suddenly, the pace that once fueled me began to fracture me.
 I realized I didn’t just want to create connection anymore,
I wanted to live it. That shift led me to radically reimagine
how I work, how I define success, and how I support others
 on the same path.
