My Story

SUBTLE LEADERS joins the two most important forces for the proper success and power. Subtle - fluid, soft, intuitive, and humble; Leaders - someone who shows the way, focused, structured, and decisive. I believe mothers naturally have both readily available to them, making them subtle leaders.

My story shows the resources that we all have to thrive:

As a child, I had an endless focus on learning how social structures work. I could play alone for hours, creating my own school, dentistry, casino, bank, Ennio Morricone show, TV host, bus, rocket driver, or editorial. In the latter, I was doing all the jobs: editor-in-chief, journalist, illustrator, secretary, interior designer, and janitor. My mom still keeps my newspapers, and my dolls still have carefully treated cavities. 

WE ALL have a source of endless creativity and play, innocence, and unique talents. Our effortless expression and leadership come from that.

I've done ESL, Pragmalingustics, psychology and the human condition, Reiki, Ayurveda, Vedic Astrology, Ayurvedic doula, Life Coaching, and spirituality. Also, I am a householder, mother, wife, daughter, and community member. I've learned all these things because I wanted to know how to feel better about myself and help others. 

WE ALL have this urge to find our way and direction we want to move in that is uplifting, meaningful, and right for us.   

I’ve traveled to more than 34 countries and lived in 3. The expanded vision of our world, cultures, and communities, their daily lives and diverse ways, inspired my adaptability and a sense of boundless possibilities about how I can make more simple choices in my life. 

Motherhood has inspired me to step up to my spiritual practice, and I make my mental peace and focus - the highest priority for my own sake and the benefit of others around me.  

WE ALL have transformative experiences that make us abler and our minds more powerful.

Through my successes and failures at work, life, and relationship, I’ve learnt to see my life as a natural expression of my choices and as the task at hand versus going through random happenings and not knowing what tomorrow can bring. I’ve learnt that a carefully nursed vision of my life and crafted path can take me where I want to go. 

WE ALL have a vision of our life to be more effective, happy and own it.

When I became a mother, a new side of me formed. Vulnerability and sensitivity felt shocking at first. I know myself as a high achiever and very focused, but my new reality was more fluid and less predictable. This was heartbreaking. But I also realized that this makes me more agile. I now have a greater range of skills. 

WE ALL have linear and non-linear ways to make a seamless living.

For my childbirth, I was envisioning and preparing myself for a home birth with my midwife and a tub. But my son was born at a hospital after three days of labor. This would have been a nightmare to imagine while I was pregnant. But after I spent two days at home with a very slow labor, it was evident that the hospital was my next step. In fact, I felt right about my decision. With lots of confidence, relief and one more day, my son came earthside. We were all healthy and happy. 

WE ALL have the confidence to act when the time is right. 

I’ve always felt like a hermit. No wonder, in my birth plan, I had no intention of doing it as a group of people. Rather, I needed to go into the forest and do it alone. It turned out that I truly enjoyed seven more people in my delivery room. And oh how I wished for more women from my community to help me raise my child.

WE ALL are a part of a local or global community where we can both give and receive support. Inspire and be inspired.
