Two years of active burnout. Two years of pushing myself beyond every limit, trying to prove I belonged in spaces that never felt like home.

At 58, I was finally healing from hip replacement surgery — vulnerable, recovering, believing I'd earned some grace. Instead, on my first day back to work, they fired me. Four weeks post-surgery. Three weeks before Christmas.

That moment — sitting in my car in the company parking lot, still walking with a cane — broke something open in me. Not just heartbreak. Recognition.

I'd spent decades contorting myself to fit their expectations. Masking my sensitivity. Apologizing for my needs. Grinding myself down trying to be someone I wasn't.

But sitting there, raw and discarded, something shifted: What if I stopped trying to fix myself and started building a life that actually fit me?

Recovery began the moment I started directing my life toward what felt good. Every choice, every decision filtered through one question: Does this bring me joy? Not temporary pleasure — deep, sustainable joy.

I began building self-trust. Learning to honor my energy cycles, my sensory needs, my authentic voice. One gentle calibration at a time.

That parking lot breakdown became my breakthrough. The Dopamine Compass™ was born from that moment — a navigation system for anyone ready to stop surviving and start thriving, exactly as they are.

Now I teach what saved me: how to rebuild authentically, live unmasked, and trust your way to joy — by design.
