79. Why I Built the Lead Your Life App (and Why It’s for You)
For the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside women in the military community, helping them prioritize self-care, strengthen resilience, and become powerful advocates for themselves. What started as an online yoga community during the pandemic has since blossomed into retreats, workshops, challenges, and the Strong and Resilient Women Facebook community.
But I’ve always dreamed of something more, something consistent, accessible, and designed as a true one-stop shop for wellness and self-leadership.
In this special episode of Leading With Heart, I’m unveiling my biggest project yet: the Lead Your Life App.
Built specifically for women in the military community—service members, veterans, retirees, and spouses, this app is not just another wellness download. It’s a purpose-driven space where you’ll find:
Monthly missions designed to keep you focused and consistent
Bite-sized tools that fit into real-life schedules
A supportive community of women who get it
Meditations, journaling prompts, self-paced courses, and live events that meet you where you are
This episode is both a behind-the-scenes look at why I created the app and an invitation to join a movement of women who are rewriting the story of what it means to care for themselves first.
If you’ve ever struggled with guilt, inconsistency, or feeling like there’s no time for you, this episode will show you a new way forward.

I've walked in your combat boots, and I understand the chaos that often accompanies military life. But I'm here to share a powerful truth with you: You have the innate ability to transform your own life. I've personally experienced this transformation, and I've witnessed it in the lives of countless clients I've had the privilege to guide.
