For many of us, 2020 was a moment of reckoning—a forced pause that asked us to examine the life we had built and whether it truly aligned with who we were meant to be. For me, it was the moment I had to strip away every layer of external validation, redefine my worth beyond money, and step fully into my power as a leader, mentor, and guide for high-achieving women ready to break generational cycles and claim their million-dollar lives.

I recently had the opportunity to share this journey on the Think Courageously Podcast with Deb Cummins Stellato, where we dove deep into the power of Human Design, radical responsibility, and the truth about pivoting into alignment.

The Awakening: Redefining Success on My Terms

I built The Hotel Florist, a multiple six-figure business that positioned me as a leader in the luxury floral industry. I worked with brands like Four Seasons, JW Marriott, Chanel, and Tiffany & Co., and from the outside, I had achieved the dream. But when 2020 hit and everything came to a standstill, I was forced to sit with the reality that my worth had been tied to my financial success.

Suddenly, without my business running at full capacity, I questioned everything.

💭 Who am I without the numbers in my bank account?
💭 Do my friends still value me if I’m not the high-achieving entrepreneur?
💭 What does success actually mean if I take away the titles and achievements?

The unraveling was uncomfortable. It challenged every subconscious belief I had built around my worthiness being tied to my ability to produce, perform, and achieve. But that breaking point was also my awakening.

It was an invitation to pivot—not just in business, but in identity.

From Surviving to Thriving: Human Design & The Power of Alignment

One of the greatest catalysts in my transformation was Human Design. Learning that I am a Splenic Projector (1/3) shifted everything for me. It explained my deep need for recognition, my powerful intuition, and the exhaustion I had felt from constantly trying to operate like a Generator in a world that rewards hustle.

On the podcast, I shared how understanding my Human Design gave me permission to stop forcing and start aligning. Instead of chasing opportunities out of fear, I started allowing the right ones to find me.

And here’s the truth: when we operate in alignment, success doesn’t feel forced. It feels magnetic.

✨ I stopped looking for external validation and started trusting myself.
✨ I shifted from "doing more" to "being more."
✨ I released the need to prove myself through endless achievements and started embodying my million-dollar self.

The Radical Responsibility of Becoming Who You Were Meant to Be

One of the most powerful shifts I made was embracing radical responsibility.

Too often, we wait for permission, validation, or the “right moment” to step into our next level. But the reality is no one is coming to save you.

You have to choose to:

🔹 Break the cycles that have kept you stuck—whether they’re rooted in childhood trauma, limiting beliefs, or societal expectations.
🔹 Invest in yourself even when it feels scary because growth is always on the other side of discomfort.
🔹 Redefine success beyond money and external recognition, building a life that feels deeply fulfilling at every level.
