Your Pathways to Purpose

That’s what a still inner voice said as I bounced back from three significant losses in a row.

First a divorce. Then mom died and then dad died, just nine days apart on hospice.

For decades, I had been gathering tools to share with clients during one-on-one leadership development sessions, spiritual care conversations, workshops, and consultations.

Now, these same TOOLS became my saving grace.


With time, effort and a lot of support I put them into practice.

I was able to navigate this change and create an upgraded way of being in the world.

Life had changed so much. I needed to change as well.


When we are in transition, LIFE doesn’t stop.

Even during everything I was navigating,

I was still coaching some of today’s most brilliant leaders and upcoming lights.

Ten years have passed since this dark yet clarifying season of life.

I am happy to report, that I did have every tool I needed to be happy.

The purpose of Awake8 is to give you support, structure AND access to these tools as well.

Are you also curious how the lessons clarified at the end of life, apply to ALL seasons of life?

If so, lets have a conversation about the tools I’ve gathered over the past thirty years working as both a hospice chaplain and a coach!

“You have every tool you need to be happy.”

A Roadmap for Navigating Career and Life Transitions

Awake8 Outcomes Include:
