A Powerhouse Community of Women Speakers
This is where ambitious women come to rise together. No awkward networking. No competition. No ego. A true speaking community — women who want more stages, more visibility, more impact… and support each other relentlessly while doing it.
I’ve always been a doer. A creator. A woman with a vision and a little bit of chaos in her back pocket.
My entrepreneurial career technically started at seven years old, when I picked dandelions on the side of the road, tied them with yarn, and sold them door-to-door as “bouquets.” I didn’t know it then, but that scrappy little girl was onto something: when you follow your intuition, people feel it. When you believe in your idea, they believe too.
My first love was theatre. I have a BFA in Musical Theatre from Syracuse University, and for years, I lived for the stage. But eventually the business side of show business wore me down, and I craved stability (and, honestly, sanity). So I did what any logical theatre major would do:
I built a pet-care empire.
I founded Hoochie Poochie Club, one of Manhattan’s longest-running pet care brands, employing hundreds of people and caring for the luckiest dogs on the Upper East and West Sides of NYC. It taught me leadership. It taught me grit. And it taught me that surrounding yourself with brilliant, supportive women makes you better. Stronger. More capable. You really do become a product of the people around you.
And then, at 40 years old, with two little girls at home (ages 2 and 5), I did something no one expected: I went back to school for nursing.
It made no sense on paper. But it was a full-body yes — one of those intuitive hits that rearranges your life.
I became a nurse, launched the Nursing Student Coach podcast, and started coaching nursing students and new grads privately. I loved every second of helping people believe in themselves… but something in me was shifting again.
My intuition was getting loud.
I began speaking — telling the truth about what it really looks like to reinvent your life, trust your gut, and build something that feels like YOU. Women started coming up to me after events saying, “I needed to hear that. I’m ready for more.”
That’s when things clicked.
Everything I had ever done — theatre, entrepreneurship, nursing, coaching, reinventing myself at 40 — all pointed to the same mission:
Today, I’m a keynote speaker, the creator of She’s Got the Mic Speakers Collective, and the host of the She’s Got the Mic podcast — a show for women entrepreneurs who are ready to think bigger, speak louder, and trust themselves on a deeper level.
My work blends storytelling, psychology, intuition research, and the kind of humor that only comes from living many lives and surviving all of them. When a woman trusts herself, she stops asking for permission — and that’s when her voice becomes powerful enough to change a room.
I’m here to help you choose the ideas, the rooms, the opportunities — and the life — that feel like a full-body hell yes. The kind that make you feel alive from the inside out.
Because your next level isn’t waiting for permission.
It’s waiting for you.
