We believe all women are leaders.
Working to heal our pain is empowering. It is the truest from of self-love. It releases us from our hurt and gives us permission to be seen on our terms. This powerful work will help you increase your resilience to all the changes you’ll encounter in life. But most importantly, you will model courageous self-love to every woman – young and old – who looks to you for guidance, direction and encouragement
Hi, I’m Sandra!
Growing up in different cultures impacted me. By the time I was 6, I had lived in two distinct cultures on two continents. My family moved from Uruguay to Canada in 1969 and when the excitement of change wore off, we found ourselves isolated; alone in a new country without friends or extended family and a language barrier.
Anything that makes you stand out when you’re growing up is cause for embarrassment; especially as an adolescent. All I wanted was to be like everyone else. But, my family ate different foods, practiced different customs and my parents spoke with an accent! I grew up feeling weird, desperate to blend in, and acutely aware of all the reasons I didn’t. Looking back, I didn’t like myself as a teenager.
At 34 and newly married, I moved from Toronto to New Jersey with my husband. I naively thought that moving to the USA from Canada would be transparent. I was wrong. We acclimated but there were still times I felt the old “I don’t fit in” triggers.
By late 2015, I was in a deep crisis of spirit. On the surface, my life was the epitome of the American Dream. I was blessed with a great husband, 3 incredible children, a beautiful home, and an amazing career with a fabulous company...yet I was deeply unhappy. Struggling to get up every morning, feeling sapped and exhausted each day, my life and priorities felt upside down. All my focus was directed to work and it felt like only the exhausted shell of me was left for the people who mattered most.
I felt confused.
How could I have everything I had been told to want in life and yet feel so empty?
I felt guilty.
How could I have everything but want more from my life?
Burnt out, lost and at the end of my rope, I quit. For a long time, I felt I had failed. I knew I didn’t like the person I saw reflected in my mirror.
The past 5 years have been spent in a healing journey. Therapy, coaching, meditation, a ton of reading, and self reflection supported me in understanding how to care for myself. I learned to be strong for myself by creating boundaries that support my health, family, and values. I reconnected to my purpose through my daughter. I realized the only way I could teach her to love herself was if I loved myself. If I wanted something different, I needed to be different.
When I talked about my journey, other women resonated with my story. They asked me for guidance and this program is the result. It is for the woman who is searching for a life fulfilled; the woman who has followed her heart’s desires but has found it has led her to a place of confusion and pain. TOGETHER, we can lead each other to a place of greater connection with our divine purpose. What if you were here to do something and never fulfilled your life’s intention?
