What if your soul expresses itself through your personality, allowing you to live soul-led rather than ego-fed? This pioneering perspective bridges the gap that external methods fail to do, helping you align with your true self.
I was standing onstage, about to receive the travel industry’s version of an Oscar, when a quiet voice inside asked, “Is this what you want?” The answer was an immediate: No.
What followed was a fast unraveling — marriage, career, home, health, and savings all gone within months. It was a tsunami–not a punishment. An invitation to stop living on autopilot.
I returned to what I knew: personality, spirituality, pattern recognition, travel, and new experiences of navigating a midlife season of change. It’s when things became clear — traditional personality typing explains logic, but the soul is where truth lives. Our traits aren’t flaws or accidents; they’re the specific tools the soul chose for this lifetime.
That realization became Spiritual Personality Typing℠ — my life’s work — a premise for all of my books. This approach was born not from theory, per se, but from lived experience. And here’s what I know for sure: you don’t need fixing. You need remembering.
Just What I Needed!
“It was just what I needed! I’m excited to move on with blind spots resolved.”

Many women in midlife frequently find themselves at a crossroads where their old stories no longer resonate, yet a new story has yet to emerge.
If you’re wondering, “Who am I? How did I get here?” my work supports you using Spiritual Personality Typing℠, the exact method I developed to navigate my own midlife moment. It helps you understand who you are now, why the past no longer fits, and how to move forward while being true to yourself.
My debut book, Unpack Your Personality, illuminates how your personality interacts with a place, a culture, and people. It shifts the landscape of travel to align with your true self to enrich worldly pleasures while exploring the inner world of the soul.
It’s a vibrant alternative to classic “checklist” travel. It’s intentional, offering ease in decision-making, and it shapes ultra-personal travel versus the one-size-fits-all tourism escape.
Rooted in a simple, sacred practice — slow walking — Walk n’ Wonder transforms movement into possibilities of what could be, especially relevant at midlife. It introduces 16 wondering archetypes to reflect how your personality and soul express in everyday life.
This book isn’t about counting steps. It’s about inhabiting your true self — while embodying presence, rhythm, and personal power.
