Aligned Living & Leadership

Aligned Living & Leadership Excellence Coach & Executive Consultant

Empowering individuals & businesses to align their purpose, strategy, & actions for sustainable success.

Guiding personal & professional growth through continuous improvement. At Kizen Living, we operate from a philosophy similar to kaizen, a Japanese business philosophy of continuous improvement of working practices and personal efficiency. We believe everyone can benefit from a continuous practice of self-improvement and personal understanding and there is always access to greater joy and more ease in your life. A Kizen Koaching session is much like the Kizen Koach, herself -- it's multi-faceted, but you only need to take what works for you, and you are invited to leave the rest! When we work together, you are offered an opportunity to explore as much or as little as you are called to explore when it comes to guided personal improvement. After all, it's personal improvement and YOU are that person. Traditional counseling offers an opportunity to explore "seed" issues and work from the "roots" up; general life coaching offers access to more immediate and specific goals; conscious consumption offers us new means of nourishing ourselves with both food and content; subtle body energy work offers insight on the deepest and most ethereal layer of life. Kizen Koaching offers a means to access all the different and interconnected aspects of our individual experience and realign to them in ways to feel most empowered NOW. Based on personal experience and countless hours of research and study at Kizen Living, we believe that the body, brain, and breath are the best access points through which all things are balanced. Each impacts the other and without balance in all areas we cannot live our best lives, but even just a bit of focus in one small part of our lives can have a big and beneficial impact on the rest of our Experience.

Every person you meet leaves a room behind.

Not a memory. Not a scar. A room.

A space inside you that did not exist before they entered your life. Some rooms are warm and lived in. Some are unfinished. Some still have the lights on long after the person is gone. The furniture shifts. The walls remember.

This is how your inner architecture is built.

You are not starting fresh with every relationship, every decision, every season. You are carrying rooms shaped by love, loss, trust, rupture, belonging. And intimacy does not come from presenting a polished house. It comes from letting someone see the rooms still under construction.

The unfinished ones are not flaws. They are invitations.

If you keep repeating patterns, hesitating at thresholds, or feeling blocked without knowing why, it is time to walk your inner house with intention.

This is the work we do together.

Every individual who enters your life acts as someone who explores, decorates, or even disrupts a room within you.

Even if someone leaves, the room they influenced remains, a part of your internal history.

New people donโ€™t meet a blank slate; they step into a home already built by others, influencing how you love, trust, and interact.

Real connection happens not in polished spaces, but in the unpainted corners and messy areas, where vulnerability builds intimacy.

Sometimes all it takes is one moment of clarity to realize the weight you have been carrying was never meant to break you. It was meant to reveal you.

And as you read these words, you may begin to notice something waking up inside you. A quiet awareness. A pull to go deeper. A sense that there is more here for you.

That is the entire heartbeat of our new podcast, Donโ€™t Trip on Your Cape.

Alex and I created this space for the people who are done pretending they are not powerful. For the ones who have carried burdens for years and are finally ready to understand the truth. What feels heavy is often the very thing trying to lift you.

With each episode, you are invited into stories, disruptions, breakthroughs, and real conversations that help you see your own life through a clearer lens. You may even find yourself recognizing parts of you that have been asking for attention, guidance, and aligned action.

And the moment you press play, something in you may begin to shift.

You may not notice it at first, but you will feel it.
A soft opening. A deep breath. A new choice.

Your cape is not the problem. Tripping over it is.
We are here to help you wear it with confidence.

If you are ready to explore your strength, your story, and the power you have been holding all this time, watch the launch episode now. This may be the moment things begin to make sense in a whole new way.

Tune in. Lean in. Let the shift begin.

Stop chasing goals.
Start placing yourself where your growth becomes unavoidable.

Most people think success comes from working harder, pushing more, or trying to force themselves into consistency. But goals are not achieved through pressure alone. They are achieved through environments that support who you are becoming.

That is the heart of my work.
When you step into my coaching space, you step into a container designed to help you rise. You step into clarity. You step into accountability rooted in compassion. You step into alignment that removes the noise and lets your next steps feel obvious.

In this environment, you stop fighting yourself and start trusting yourself.
You stop guessing and start acting with intention.
You stop hoping for change and start becoming the person who makes it inevitable.

Whether it is love or business or both, the right environment shapes your identity. It strengthens your belief. It clears your path. It invites your highest expression forward.

Your life will always reflect the space you build around your dreams.
Choose an environment that lifts you.
Choose an environment that aligns you.
Choose an environment that makes your goals a natural outcome instead of a constant chase.

This is what we create together inside Aligned Living and Leadership.
If you are ready to shift your world by one percent at a time, I am ready to walk with you.

When I was two, my mother divorced my father and moved us into a new home. The bathroom had mirrors on three sides of the sink, a full 1980s masterpiece. I remember climbing onto the counter, legs crossed, staring into the endless corridor of my own reflection.

A thousand versions of me.
A thousand possible futures.
A thousand stories waiting for someone willing to choose one and claim it.

I did not have the words back then, but I understood something that still guides my work today.

When you look deeply enough at yourself, the reflection stops being a picture. It becomes a doorway.

A doorway into who you can choose to become.
A doorway into what you are ready to release.
A doorway into the power you stop pretending you do not have.

Most people never pause long enough to notice that their life is reflecting the same patterns again and again. The same fears. The same habits. The same beliefs that shape every choice.

But when you have someone walking with you, someone who can help you see the repeating mirrors for what they are, everything changes.

You stop reliving old stories.
You start creating new ones.
You begin to live in alignment with the person you were always becoming.

This is the work I do with my clients.

Clarity.
Choice.
Aligned action that shifts the entire reflection.

If you are ready to see yourself differently and choose the version of you who is waiting at the far end of the mirror, I would be honored to guide you.

Comment or message me, and letโ€™s begin the transformation that your future self will thank you for.

The 1% Shift

Itโ€™s ok to start where you are.
Itโ€™s ok to do it messy.
Itโ€™s even ok to fail forward.

Whatโ€™s not ok is staying stuck because youโ€™re waiting to feel ready.

The truth is, readiness is born through movement. Every small action compounds. Every messy attempt builds clarity, confidence, and alignment.

If youโ€™ve been sitting on an idea, a goal, or a visionโ€”this is your nudge.

Itโ€™s time to stop skipping the work and start creating the shift.

Because transformation doesnโ€™t come from giant leaps. It comes from 1% shifts that change everything.

The 1% Shift

Purpose isnโ€™t something you stumble upon.
Itโ€™s something you commit to.

Every day, weโ€™re given a choice โ€” to drift through routine or to align our actions with what truly matters. Purpose doesnโ€™t wait for clarity. It creates clarity through aligned action.

Start small. Choose consciously. Shift one percent at a time.

โœจ Purpose is not found. It is chosen.

One of my biggest takeaways from the this weekend:
You have to be more devoted to taking aligned action than you are to staying comfortable.

Growth doesnโ€™t happen in the safe zone. Comfort keeps you where you are, while commitment moves you toward who youโ€™re becoming.

The moment you decide to stop negotiating with your potential, everything changes.
Every choice becomes a reflection of the story you want to live.

So today, choose to make a moveโ€”no matter how small.
Because the 1% shift is all it takes to change your trajectory.
