Practice Over Perfect

Driven. Ambitious. Perfectionist. These are three words I used to describe myself to others three years ago. They were a lie….sort of.

Three years ago, I was a Regional Leasing and Training Director. I helped manage 110 employees and was in charge of over 30 student housing marketing platforms. My passion was helping make the management journey easier for others.

I worked extremely hard to work my way up the corporate ladder and loved my job…at least that’s what I told people. Even though the face I presented to the outside world was one of a driven, ambitious, fierce, perfectionist, those words didn’t reflect how I felt on the inside.

Those words were simply that, words – a brave face, a façade…I was really my own toughest critic, feeling over-whelmed, over-worked, and out of balance. I knew I needed to make a change in my life.

I needed to focus on the things that made me happy & become the best version of myself, someone who could look in the mirror and have an identity outside of work. That’s when I decided to switch gears and wanted to focus on helping others in a different way.

Now I get to use those organization and problem-solving skills that helped me thrive in the corporate world to help other people find the best versions of themselves! Starting with you!
