You don’t have to choose between success and self
Women in Tech community newsletter #13
For a long time,
I thought I had to choose between two lives.
A life where I was “successful” -
busy, smart, in control.
And the life I secretly longed for -
slower, softer, free.
I didn’t believe I could have both.
I thought I had to choose between money and meaning.
Between logic and intuition.
Between proving myself… and being myself.
But that’s a lie we’ve been sold.
A few years ago, I had what many would call a dream job.
I worked as a Research Scientist on Amazon’s Alexa,
building cutting-edge tech, earning well, and ticking all the boxes of success.
From the outside, it looked like I’d made it.
But inside?
I was disconnected. Drained. Quietly aching for something more.
I tried to think my way out of it.
But true change didn’t come from more logic or pushing.
It came when I turned inward -
toward yoga, energy work, nervous system healing, and finally… back to myself.
✨ I stopped living in my head.
✨ I started trusting my body, my intuition, and something greater.
✨ And I built a life that finally feels like mine - rooted in flow, softness, and deep self-trust.
Do you recognize yourself in my story?
Have you built a life that looks good - but doesn't feel aligned anymore?
Do you crave more space, softness, or soul… but don’t know how to begin?
Are you wondering if there’s another way to live, one that honors both your ambition and your essence?
If you're nodding yes - I see you.
Now, I’m creating something for women who are where I used to be, who are starting to feel the inner pull toward something deeper
Something softer. Something that’s truly their own
And I’d love to hear from you.
If you’re a high-achieving woman in tech or corporate who’s craving a more soul-aligned way to live and work - one that honors both your ambition and your inner wisdom -
please take 2 minutes to fill out this short survey.
Complete it before Sunday at midnight, and you’ll be entered to win a free 1:1 Soul Alignment Session with me -
a quiet space to reconnect with yourself and explore what’s possible when you stop hustling and start listening.
If this resonates - trust the nudge. I’d love to hear from you. 🤍
You don’t have to choose between being powerful and being present.
Between achievement and alignment.
Between doing and being.
There’s a different way.
And it begins with listening to the part of you that already knows.

Secrets of the Millionaire mind: Mastering the inner game of wealth | T. Harv Eker - Book
Secrets of the Millionaire Mind is two books in one. Part I explains how your money blueprint works. You will learn how your childhood influences have shaped your financial destiny. You will also learn how to identify your own money blueprint and "revise" it to not only create success but, more important, to keep and continually grow it.
In Part II you will be introduced to seventeen "Wealth Files," which describe exactly how rich people think and act differently than most poor and middle-class people. Each Wealth File includes action steps for you to practice in the real world in order to dramatically increase your income and accumulate wealth.
