Hi friend, I’m Meg!

I’m a coach, connector, entrepreneur, Ironman finisher (Louisville, October 2019) and in 2020 I added cancer survivor to my list of descriptive words. However, the most important roles I hold are wife, mom, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend.

I’ve channeled my creative, adventurous spirit and a life-long passion for serving others into a career and calling.

In 2016 I founded my coaching and consulting business in hopes that I could help strengthen individuals and organizations and I’ve been lucky enough to help hundreds of people and dozens of non-profits over the last several years. I work in a variety of ways. I offer life and executive coaching and work one-on-one with individuals. I offer group coaching sessions and retreats. I’ve worked with non-profit leadership teams and boards and small to mid-sized businesses.

My Life Mission Statement

I am the rock that creates the ripple of compassion, courage, and kindness.

 

About Me

Thanks to my flexible business schedule, I have time to do things that are important to me like watching my kids play sports, hiking with my dog, cycling or paddle boarding with my friends and volunteering at the local homeless shelter. I love to travel and riding my bike long distances across states. I love going on adventures with my family.

I can often be found paddle boarding, climbing, cycling, hiking in the woods at the Whitewater Center or practicing stillness and meditation at a yoga studio. Denver Down Dog is one of my favorites! I’m also a fan of live musi

I work hard, but I’m good at taking breaks to enjoy all life has to offer. 

My happy places include: biking just about anywhere, I recently rode across the state of New York with Empire State Ride, raising funds for cancer research. I love playing bingo or enjoying the beach at Fripp Island with my family, being the base of a pyramid with my UD Flyer Fems (my college girls), training for triathlons with my Tri it for Life tribe, or building or repairing houses with my ASP family. 

When we can squeeze in date night, I enjoy playing tennis, cycling, and just being with my better half. After 20 years together, I still wonder how I got so lucky. My partner serves as a Police Sergeant and Crisis Negotiator with CMPD and, for the last 16 years, he’s also been a high school tennis coach. His career provides endless stories and an interesting life. He has served as my greatest cheerleader in business, fighting cancer, and on the marathon and triathlon courses. He has helped me get back on my bike after crashes, both literally and figuratively. He’s gracious about my escape time for girls’ weekends. He’s encouraged my entrepreneurial career from day one. I couldn’t have grown into who I am without him by my side, and I am forever grateful he chose me.
