Have you ever thought, “how do I find my purpose?”
My journey to becoming UNBOUND:
It began in 2009 by asking myself one simple question-
“Is there more to life than my career?”
That one simple question led me on a quest to find out what brought me fulfillment; without knowing where it would lead, that path guided me to find my purpose.
At the age of 19, I was the youngest general manager of nearly 400 stores.
I led that store to grow nearly 3 times its size in just 9 months.
But it came with a price.
I was a slave to the system, working 100+ hrs a week and ny health & relationships were paying the price for it,
No matter how many goals I achieved, how many mile markers to success I hit, I was still left feeling empty.
While I found monetary success, I was lacking true FULFILLMENT as I sacrificed everything for my career.
I was perplexed-
I had “beat the game”; so why did I not feel like I was winning?

In 2010, my dreams of being a traveling yogi with no responsibilities came to a halt after finding out I was expecting my first child.
And in 2011, I fell back into old patterns of workaholism while battling PPD.
Again, my business was booming-
I had built a six-figure business in less than 2 years with lots of flashy press & opportunities.
And again, my relationships & health were declining.
___
When we first open Pandora’s box, our first reaction can be to throw the baby out with the bath, believing everything we thought was true is actually a lie and we must abandon everything we know….
It wasn’t the career I had chosen that led to my destruction, it was the belief systems I clung to as a lifeline.
Belief systems that were ingrained in me from a structure that values profit & businesses over people & holistic well-being.
These experiences and a long journey of self-discovery finally revealed to me why I wasn’t finding fulfillment and helped me ultimately find it ✨
