I struggled with losing weight my whole life. I thought because of my genes I would never be able to feel confident in a fitted dress or wear a bathing suit without a cover-up. After I had 2 kids, I worked in one of the most demanding careers out there – management consulting for a top firm in NYC. Every week I traveled to new locations, worked 12+ hour days and stayed in hotels for multiple nights of the week. I had no routine and no extra time. I quickly started to realize how little energy I had to do fun things I wanted with my family and I was frustrated with myself every time I looked in the mirror. I was scared that I would never get back to looking and feeling like “me” because I had little time. That’s when I decided something needed to change – and I started with food. I researched volumes of nutritional information. I love to cook, so I experimented and came up with my own recipes, modified the ones I grew up with and changed my diet. To my surprise, my weight came off faster than I could dream of. I lost 10 pounds in 4 weeks, and 40 pounds in 9 months! I went down 4 sizes. And it’s stayed off. Little did I know that as I was losing weight and transforming my life, i was gaining a new passion. I began to find that other moms and busy women wanted to lose weight and feel more active too. I had knowledge and an easy and fun technique to losing weight that other people started asking me about. That’s when I started documenting my recipes and sharing what I had learned to lose weight on my website, MasalaBody.com. Soon after I started my 1:1 premium weight-loss coaching program, where I now offer my “10-Week Weight-Loss Jumpstart for the Busy Woman”.

I started my business in February 2015. I knew that after 20 years of running and developing businesses for other people, I was being called to serve female entrepreneurs to shine their light in a bigger way. There was a nagging that I could no longer deny so I hired my first coach who helped me to get fully aligned with my soul purpose (we all have one)…..and I attribute my alignment to how I have been able to create a sustainable business quickly…and even create, sell out, and lead a mind blowing retreat for purpose driven women in my first year of business.

In 2011, I started Kingdom Coaching to help others create the life they want, no longer held back by fear or self-limiting beliefs. I was sitting in a coaching workshop when I had a God-inspired idea, complete with a business plan structure for Kingdom Coaching. After speaking with other leaders and business owners about my plan, I launched my business. It seemed to all happen pretty quickly, but as any entrepreneur knows, there is a longer back story and preparation phase before any great idea is birthed. Here’s my story… After 14 years working in corporate environments, I felt like there had to be more to life than the daily grind. Sure, I had achieved what many would call success in my career, but I rarely saw my family and friends. And I certainly didn’t have any time to relax or do things I enjoyed. If I continued on the path I was on without making changes, I would not be living the life I envisioned. I realized that what “success” often looks like from the outside does not necessarily equate to a person feeling like they are truly living! (At least in my own experience.) Maybe you can relate? No longer content in the daily grind, I went on a spiritual journey to discover who God created me to be. Along the way, I allowed God to strip away the expectations I had put on myself and those that I felt others had for my life. You know, the expectations… the all-too-common Western ideals of getting your college degree and securing a career where you can work hard to become “successful.” We’ve all probably been subjected to these external pressures at one point or another. But once I redefined what success looks like in my own life and focused more on determining what I need to feel like I’m thriving, things started to change. After learning more about who I was designed to be and my purpose in this world, I started directing the course of my life to align with those ideals. I was amazed by the results! I started to experience true prosperity and the abundant life… great joy, fulfillment and feeling like I’m doing what I was born to do! I found it was so much easier to just be myself and do what I’m really good at rather than striving to be something I’m not. And it is SO freeing! I also realized that for too many years, I wasn’t living the life my soul longed for because I was being held back by fear and self-limiting beliefs. As I discovered the best ways to move past fear and start changing what I believe about myself and what is possible in life, I found greater joy than I had ever known! Because I have now experienced the abundant life that is available on the other side of fear, I’m passionate about helping other people to go after the very things they are afraid of and remove limiting mind sets… so they can also live the life they want!
