I love using humor, laughter, passion, and vulnerability to inspire people to see things in new light. I’ve been working with speakers, performers, thought-leaders, and people who are yearning to be more creative, helping them to finally express themselves fully and live their purpose on earth. I help people discover the gift of their pain–through humor–and share that gift with the world.
