Great to meet you!
I'm a 4X Founder and Business Coach.
I’m passionate about helping entrepreneurs to grow their business while decreasing stress and burnout!
Every business should thrive financially, have a thriving team behind it (goodbye burnout) and be making a positive impact on the world.
I have been an entrepreneur since 2015, personally launching four companies. Including two first-of-their-kind businesses in Canada… EarthPup, and Terus.
I have coached +300 entrepreneurs all over the world to grow their businesses—including in the US, Colombia, Hong Kong, the UK, and the Western Balkans.
I have also been an expert consultant on impact entrepreneurship for the United Nations and Canadian Federal Government. And named one of Canada’s Top 30 Under 30 Environmentalists and the Emerging Leader by University of Toronto.
And have supported entrepreneurs to raise over $20 million in capital for their ventures.
I believe that impactful businesses will change the world.
My Story: Why I Help Entrepreneurs Decrease Stress & Avoid Burnout
I firmly believe that there is always a silver lining when things go terribly wrong in entrepreneurship.
In August 2022 I was launching a new first-of-its-kind product line with my business EarthPup. The products were formulated, the packaging done, supply chain finished. We were bringing an innovative product to the pet industry and our retailers couldn't wait!
I was hustling HARD. Working all hours to get this product launched. Not taking care of myself as I should have.
Then I started to get very ill. I didn't know what was happening... I couldn't eat. This went on for about 2 weeks. I wasn't eating more than maybe 200 calories per day and I didn't know why this was happening. I saw three different doctors who all were stumped. They just told me to take a Gravol, maybe I'm pregnant so they told me to take a test, and sent me home. They didn't listen to me when I said something was very wrong.
I was planning on admitting myself to the hospital for a feeding tube because I didn't know what else to do until a naturopath figured it out! I had been exposed to toxic mold (the most toxic group which includes black mold) and my liver was starting to shut down as a result.
The path to recovery would be 1 to 1.5 years and I would get sicker before I got better as I started the detox process. The situation was affecting my cognitive function, my nervous system, muscles, digestion... everything.
My doctor told me that my system was already compromised with STRESS and this illness was the straw that broke the camel's back. Which is why parts of my body started to shut down.
EarthPup had to cease operations because I couldn't work and I went on medical leave for a month.
I only recently recovered from this illness. I'm very grateful that the worst is behind me and I'm fully functional now.
This experience has turned into my new WHY and mission. Entrepreneurs making the world a better place aren't going to be able to have the impact they set out to have if they burn out due to stress, or experience serious chronic health issues made worse by stress from their business (as I did).
This experience taught me this lesson the hard way—I need to prioritize my well-being so I can do my best work. This includes having daily and weekly routines that prioritize my mind, body, and spirit.
According to Small Biz Silver Lining, 75% of entrepreneurs are concerned about their mental health, and 56% have been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, or stress-related problems by a doctor or mental health professional.
I believe entrepreneurship NEEDS a mindfulness approach that prioritizes mental and physical well-being in tandem with strategic business growth.
