Family Strategist for founders & family-run businesses
Clear Conversations. Confident Decisions.
I help founder parents and family-run teams talk openly, agree what happens next, and follow through—at home and in the business.
If you’re running a business and raising a family, you’re carrying a lot of responsibility. I create a calm space to sort what’s getting in the way, learn effective communication skills, and map simple next steps you can use right away. Clients notice practical shifts quickly: clearer talks, fewer circular debates, and evenings that feel easier for you and the kids—while the business keeps its momentum.
Start Where It Matters Most.
If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.
Small conversations take more energy than they should.
Roles and expectations aren’t clear—at home or in the business.
Decisions linger; you want cleaner yes/no and fewer re-runs.
You want home to feel settled for you & your children.
You’re both capable and committed—you just need a simpler way to talk and decide.
