My Journey: From Educator to Emotional Intelligence Expert
For years, I was an elementary school teacher, juggling lesson plans, field trips, and the occasional glue stick disaster. I loved what I did, but deep down, I felt that something was missing. I was so focused on helping my students grow that I forgot to check in with myself.
That is when I stumbled into the world of mindfulness - not just as a practice, but as a way of life. I began weaving it into my classroom, and the results were incredible. My students were more engaged and calm. And honestly? It was because I was. This sparked a shift in me, leading me to step beyond the classroom and into the world of well-being.
My journey didn't stop there. The more I explored, the more I realized that mindfulness was just the beginning. True growth happens when we become deeply self-aware. When we stop running on autopilot, start questioning the stories we tell ourselves, and get intentional about the way we live. That is what led me here: to help others navigate life with clarity, confidence, and purpose as an Emotional Intelligence Expert.

Why Self-Awareness is a Game Changer
Let's be real: life can feel like a never-ending to-do list. We get stuck in routines, make decisions out of habit, and wonder why we are still feeling unfulfilled. That is where self-awareness changes everything.
You don't need to change who you are, you need to evolve how you navigate life. And trust me, that small shift makes all the difference.
