Where I grew up: Northern California

My family: I am the mother of three glorious children, Georgianna (grown and flown) and our twin boys, Jake and Robie. I am married to the love of my life, Mike, — I affectionately refer to him as Mr. Bigheart. My daily dose of positivity comes from our Goldendoodle, Charlotte (Charlie). They wake up our home every day with total joy. They love a good road trip (windows down, please) and kayaking the Maryland and Maine water trails. We also have housecat, Rowdy, and our “feline yard patrol,” Tiberius and Willow.

My favorite music: Snow Patrol, Jason Mraz, Andrea Bocelli, The Piano Guys, Dierks Bentley – and any playlist Mr. Bigheart creates for me.

My favorite foods: Mediterranean anything, the fresher the better.

My favorite cocktail: Mr. Bigheart’s Christmas Cosmo, hands down.

What I like to do in my spare time: “Dog pile” with my family in front of the fire, garden (flowers, not vegetables), yoga, Pilates, be outside in awe-inspiring spaces, and reflect.

My first job: Wrangler on a dude ranch.

Something no one would believe about me: I love a good tattoo and sport three myself.

Where you can find me on the weekend: In the woods, on the water, cozied up on the chair in my front room overlooking the gardens, in the kitchen, and sometimes working, because I love my work.

My guilty pleasure is: Chocolate, but it’s not guilty – It’s just straight-up pleasure!

Advice I give but I am bad about taking: “Find time every day to do nothing.”

My superpower is: Connecting the dots. I “see” the way disparate parts of information hang together and can spot insights from far away.

My most embarrassing facilitator moment:Splitting the entire seam of my pants (brand new, I might add) when I bent over to move an easel. It was early, so I was on my own, but I had to use what was on hand. So I stapled the seam shut with a stapler and then moved VERY carefully the whole rest of the day. It was extremely distracting!

Funniest thing my family has said to me about coaching: “Oh Mom, that’s a good one” (referring to one of my coaching insights). “You should stitch that on a pillow.”
