Early in my career, I rose quickly—managing high-profile accounts, earning impressive recognition, and checking all the boxes of what success was supposed to look like. From the outside, it seemed like I had it all.

Behind the scenes, I was juggling 80-hour workweeks, managing a $60 million account, training for endurance races, renovating a home, nurturing relationships, and trying to build a meaningful life—all while selling products I didn’t believe in.

 

My life was completely segmented.
 

Fast. Full. Exhausting.

​

The stress accumulated quietly at first, then all at once. My health began to suffer. I was overwhelmed, disconnected, and deeply burnt out. One day, standing in front of the mirror, I couldn’t ignore the truth any longer—this life was draining me.

That moment became my wake-up call.

I released the golden handcuffs and stepped off the ladder, shifting from chasing titles and accolades to building a life—and a career—rooted in alignment, purpose, and impact.

​

Since then, I’ve founded and scaled multiple ventures, including OKIINO, an athletic apparel brand celebrated in Forbes, ELLE, Yoga Journal, and Outside. I’ve traveled the world studying mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and conscious leadership, completing over 2000 hours of studies. Today, I share those lessons that have influenced my self development journey through executive coaching, leadership workshops, Life Labs, retreats, and the Savvy Women Collective, helping women connect, collaborate, and rise together.

​​

I also serve as a Mentor-in-Residence and Adjunct Lecturer of Entrepreneurship at the University of Arizona’s McGuire Center and a Preceptor for the Watson Institute, supporting emerging entrepreneurs in building purpose-driven ventures. My work focuses on helping leaders develop growth mindsets, emotional intelligence, and conscious leadership skills to thrive in fast-changing environments.

​

Based in Hawaiʻi, I live what I teach—harmonizing meaningful work, family, community, and time in nature. My mission is simple: to help leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers master their mindset, live consciously, and create lives that feel as good on the inside as they look on the outside.

You have the power to create a life of joy, freedom, and flow—let me help you step fully into it.
