My Story

Like you, I'm a business owner who is passionate about what I do and the people I work with. 

 

After receiving my Broadcast Journalism degree from DePaul University, I quickly realized I didn’t want to work in news, but I loved production. To buy myself some time, I got my first yoga teaching certificate and fell in love with that too. Between my polymath curiosity and strong Midwestern work ethic, I took a strange and wonderfully circuitous career path before landing in corporate leadership. 

 

In corporate world I was driven, passionate, and motivated…and quickly had the wind taken out of my sails. I realized I was out of place - a yoga teacher and creative, climbing a corporate ladder to nowhere.

I grew tired. 

Tired of working for people who didn't live the values they preached. 

Tired of being the only woman in a room while men spoke over me and down to me. 

Tired of male colleagues asking me to take notes for them. 

I was tired of having my character attacked when I spoke my mind. 

Tired of asking others not to relay gossip about my colleagues.

Tired of not being able to trust the people I worked with.

I was tired of working 70-80 hour weeks to get the job done well, without the support I needed, and when I burned out, was told it was my fault and that I shouldn't have worked so hard.

I was tired of being told how good I had it and how grateful I should be.

 

So I left. And I started Siren with a mission of living in alignment with my values and helping others do the same.

Through the path to finding an authentic, aligned working environment, I found that a few of things are always true:

  • Having aligned values and messaging will make every single one of your decisions easier

  • Doing anything new is much faster and easier with a trusted guide

  • Uncovering your authentic voice will make you more confident and magnetic to the people you want to work with - like developing your own (ethical) siren song

Besides developing your brand, courses, and voice, I'm obsessed with my dog Elliot, hiking, being near or on (not in) the ocean, Scotland, scifi books and movies, and history.

Yoga + Wellness

I am a yoga teacher and yoga therapist with thousands of hours of training and thousands more hours in teaching experience. My yoga therapy specialty is trauma, and I've been teaching a Yoga for Veterans group for almost 10 years.

Background

I've always loved working: In college I was a writing tutor and a producer. After graduation I worked in PR and yoga studio management. Then it was production and yoga, coporate world, running a yoga therapy practice, and freelance writing. Now I get to use all these skills with Siren Branding!
