Truth is something that we say we want. Until it makes us uncomfortable. Or those around us uncomfortable.
When I first decided that I needed to move away from my full-time job, I had some hard decisions to make. Despite the fact that I loved some of the things I was able to access and create in that position, there was no avenue for growth.
I had to lean into the faith that I would find the support I needed to launch my own business.
I always saw it as something different than a traditional interior design business.
I had become accustomed to helping people that wouldn’t necessarily be hiring an Interior Designer or Decorator to help them create the vision that they had for their home. I knew that I could use technology to reach more people and help them create spaces that inspired them without breaking the bank. When I took the leap, I only had a fuzzy image of what that might look like.
And as the Universe always does when you allow it to, it brought me the perfect mentor to move toward a life of “health, wealth, and joy” as my guest’s program promised.

We follow the evolution of her personal business path full of gold nuggets of wisdom. She drops some serious truth bombs along the way. She reveals the moments that led to important mindset shifts that forged the path to who she has become as she creates opportunities for other creatives as she visions forward.
You will be inspired (and maybe get a little teary as I did) when she shared how she faced the hard truths about herself in the process of supporting her daughter through the evil waters of Middle School and mean girls. It’s a gut punch of self-loathing transformed into self-love.
We laughed. We got teary-eyed. We found power on the other side of this brutally honest conversation.
I wish everyone could have seen the light in Tobi’s face as she saw her current self through the eyes of 8-year-old Tobi.
A magical moment of what it looks like when you are living a life aligned with your truth.
It is a wish I have for everyone, especially the extraordinary hearts that listen to this podcast.
