You’re More Than Your First Mountain

If you’ve achieved success but now find yourself asking ‘What’s next?’, you’re in the right place. I guide seekers—post‑career, post‑divorce, empty‑nesters, men and women—through inner blockers to a life of purpose, financial freedom, and spiritual alignment.

Welcome

I’m Vanessa, a seasoned school leader and coach, dedicated to helping individuals unlock their full potential. With decades of experience in education and leadership, I understand what it takes to inspire, motivate, and guide people toward meaningful growth.

As a mentor, transformational coach, and educational leader, I specialize in performance, leadership, and goal-setting, empowering individuals to step into their best selves—both today and in the future. My coaching is rooted in faith, purpose, and a deep belief that we are all called to something greater.

For over 15 years, I served as a public school superintendent, leading with vision, antifragile confidence, and a commitment to excellence. But my journey didn’t stop there. I embraced a new path—my second mountain—one that led me to private education, where I could align my leadership with my deeper purpose. This transformation also extended beyond my career, guiding me to a place of personal fulfillment and a healthy, loving relationship built on trust, respect, and shared values.

Through my own experiences, I’ve learned that growth isn’t just about professional success—it’s about aligning all aspects of your life with who you are meant to be. I help individuals step into growth by developing the mindset, habits, and confidence needed to reach new levels of performance. I also work with teams to improve collaboration and productivity, ensuring they operate at their highest potential for maximum impact and success.

I work with individuals who are ready to reclaim their identity, rewrite their inner script, and rise into a new version of themselves. Whether you’re post-divorce, post-career, or simply hungry for more meaning, this is your invitation to climb with me.

Together, we’ll work through the mental, emotional, financial, and spiritual layers that hold you back—so you can finally live in alignment with who you truly are.
