Blow it Up and Break Free

So I Blew Up My Life. (And You Should Probably, Too.)

blow it up

Picture this: It’s another Tuesday. You’re staring into the abyss of your Outlook calendar, a color-coded nightmare of Very Important Meetings about the strategic implementation of synergistic paradigms. You’ve got a title. You’ve got responsibilities. You’re a pillar of the community.

And you’re wondering if this is it. Is this the whole enchilada?

A few months ago, that was me. My life was a series of board meetings, policy committees, and economic development plans. Now, my biggest scheduling conflict is deciding whether the dogs need a walk; before or after I find the best taco al pastor in Puerto Vallarta.

yep breaking free

Yeah, I hit the big red button. I resigned from all my public positions, packed up my husband and our pups, and said adios to the life I was supposed to have. And it's the best, most terrifying, and most ridiculously joyful decision I ever made.

For years, my job was about building systems for communities. I loved it. But I also felt like I was playing a role. I once wrote about being a "Unicorn"—a proud, Black, LGBTQ+ person trying to be authentically myself in very structured worlds. But what happens when the Unicorn decides the pasture is just a little too small?

He bolts. He finds a beach. He starts a revolution, one person at a time.

That feeling of being stuck? Of knowing there’s something more waiting for you, but you just don't know how to make it happen? That’s the starting line. I got so good at navigating my own escape that I decided to bottle the magic. It’s called the Break Free Method, and it’s my personal coaching practice for people who are done with their own nonsense.

It’s for you if you’re ready to stop living by a script and finally tear down the limiting beliefs that have been holding you hostage. This isn't about kale smoothies and vision boards (unless you're into that, no judgment). It's about getting audaciously bold, dropping the mask, and designing a life that actually feels like yours.

the idea is born

And because I apparently can't stop building things, I also relaunched Profile Elite. It’s my new and improved AI and SaaS company for businesses that are also ready to break free—from inefficiency, from outdated processes, from the soul-crushing admin work that kills creativity. Think of it as a digital liberation front for your business. We use smart, intuitive AI services to streamline your operations so you can focus on the big picture (or, you know, your own taco research). It’s the same passion for unifying systems, just with more code and way less bureaucracy.

So that's the next chapter. It’s sunnier. It’s scarier. It’s a million times more authentic. I traded my council seat for a beach chair, and I’ve never felt more powerful.

Are you staring at your own color-coded calendar, wondering what a life off-script looks like? Are you ready to stop talking about your "someday" and start building your "right now"?

Whether you need to break your own patterns or break your business free from the grind, I’m here for it.

Let's talk. Schedule a no-strings-attached consultation and we can figure out what your next chapter looks like. Your tacos are waiting.
