This week, I am feeling so grateful for all of the amazing things that have happened in my life to bring me to the place where I am here today. Last Friday was International Women’s Day and it has always been one of my favorite times of the year (along with March Madness, which does begin in a couple weeks).

I remember years ago the first event I attended which was actually held at Northwestern University before Accenture started running their own programs. It was not just a day to renew and gather, but a day to connect with other like minded women and fill myself up with the amazing stories and experiences that came with the day. I was always motivated and re-energized after actively participating in the day.

Last year I had a dream that I wanted to speak at IWD. And here we are, 1 year later, and that dream is coming true. Many of you have heard me speak on the story of my kids and all that I went through to help heal them. In the past year, my life has transformed even more, where I learned how to listen to the whispers in my soul and take a leap of faith to invest in me. Now that is a concept that I was never quite comfortable with, however I made the decision, found the right support, and had FAITH in the journey. I was able to overcome many obstacles along the way. I am here today to share my corporate story of how I felt “stuck in a muck” and what I did to transform my life from the inside out.

I have seen amazing changes in both my professional and personal life. I feel so honored and blessed to be able to share my story and celebrate with so many amazing women as we all continue to support one another on our journeys.

Listen to the Whispers
Learn to embrace SILENCE
Lead a life of presence and purpose

I was so amazed by all of the feedback and warm wishes received after the my speech. I am blessed to have touched the lives of everyone who heard my story and hope that it inspired them to listen to the whispers in their own souls. Have a wonderful day and remember, “if you listen to you body whisper, you don’t have to hear it scream.”
