My Journey

As a child, I was captivated by Narnia—a world where wonder, magic, and profound meaning permeated everything. I believed that if I looked hard enough, I might find a doorway to such hidden realms just down the hall.

​

But as I grew older, I became disenchanted. The constant push for material success, status, and rational thinking began to overshadow the quiet sense of meaning I once felt so naturally. I came to believe that the qualities embodied in stories like Narnia—intuition, harmony, and wisdom—had no place in the adult world.

​

Instead of a hero’s journey, society handed me a fool’s errand: Get good grades. Go to a prestigious college. Land a high-paying job. Make millions. Find the perfect partner. Buy the dream home. Stay fit. Travel the world. These were the milestones I was told would bring happiness and fulfillment. And I followed the script masterfully: management consulting in New York, investment banking in Silicon Valley, and founding a series of consumer internet startups. I raised millions in venture capital, helped pioneer the Stories format, hit number one in the App Store, and sold two companies. By all accounts, I was living the dream.

​

As I ticked off these achievements, a strange thing happened. With each accomplishment, I felt less fulfilled—yet my drive to achieve only intensified. I became trapped in the loop of “more,” caught in the momentum of a culture that never asked me to stop and listen inward.

​

Eventually, I confronted a difficult truth: external validation and measurable success weren’t leading to the fulfillment I’d been promised. And so I turned inward—immersing myself in Eastern, Western, and indigenous wisdom traditions. I trained as an Aletheia coach, began apprenticing in Amazonian curanderismo, and was initiated into a Shipibo family lineage in the Peruvian Amazon. It became a process of unlearning, remembering, and re-enchantment.

​

Through that journey, I rediscovered the wonder, magic, and meaning I had been seeking all along. I came to see that the inner world is a microcosm of the cosmos—that by transforming ourselves, we can ripple change outward. And I realized that the doorway I’d searched for as a child was never down the hall. It had always been within me, waiting to be opened.

​

Today, I help founders, leaders, and those deeply engaged in their calling walk through their own doorways. Drawing on nearly 15 years as a venture-backed CEO and my ongoing training in inner transformation, I support people in bridging the worlds of outer leadership and inner truth.

 

If you feel called to reconnect with what may have been lost—or to step into a new way of being, leading, and creating—I invite you to reach out.
