Navigating the Return to What's Essential

My path from corporate marketing executive to guide mirrors the journey I now help others through. From external validation to trusting my own knowing. From seeking new landscapes to recalibrating my compass.

Finding my father's simple notebook with an observation on the "beautiful simplicity" he saw in me decades ago reminded me that wisdom often comes in the most uncomplicated forms. The essential qualities he saw in me hadn't disappeared, they'd just been buried under years of accumulated complexity.

That shift, from seeking to returning, changed everything. I'm not offering theories. I'm living into these answers. Now I guide others through that same return to their essential selves.
