I teach deep subject matter experts how to turn your wisdom into wealth.

Over the last
17 years...
I've watched the same pattern hold back brilliant people:
They have real expertise. They get results for clients. They know they have something valuable.
And yet—the business never quite takes off. They blame themselves. They buy another course. They wonder what everyone else knows that they don't.
I've worked with enough of them now—professors, therapists, consultants, authors, healers—to know it's NOT a talent problem. It's a gaps-in-your-business-infrastructure problem.
Bring Something New Into the World
I've built a successful education company from scratch. Ghost-written books for big names. Been featured in Forbes and published in Salon, Jezebel and academic journals. Built 30+ courses of my own and hundreds with clients. Coached 880+ entrepreneurs in the last three years alone.
Somewhere along the way, I stopped wondering why brilliant people get stuck—and started building what actually gets them unstuck.
So I Built aMethod:
The MOVER Method: Five pieces of business infrastructure that turn scattered expertise into a business that actually catches and keeps the value you're creating.
M — Method + Message. Surface what you do and find the language that sells it.
O — Offers + Order. One path, priced right, built in sequence.
V — Visibility Engine. A system that fills the funnel.
E — Escalators. The sequences that shrink 12-month conversions to weeks.
R — Revenue Multipliers. The infrastructure that catches the money you're leaving on the table.

so you know What to Build, When
Let's DO What We're Dreaming of
I want women who are doing transformational work to make transformational money.
I want the people creating value to get paid like they're valuable (because you are).
I want my community resourced and ready.
AND I want them -- you-- to be able to stop shit-talking yourself and having to muscle your businesses forward through sheer moxy and determination.
I love the pluck. I don't love the daily existential anguish.
GOOD NEWS: the sales & money problem is so much easier to fix than it is to grow a complex, nuanced body of work.
My people come to me with SUBSTANTIAL skills and philosophies and entire bodies of work (some of you are drowning in your own archives!).
And that is everything. That was the hard part.
Now we just put the gears and cogs and the 5 pillars of a successful business in place...
...so you can take your business over the finish line. Finally.
Here's What I'veBUILT:
Writing & Media: Ghost-wrote several books. Worked with NY Times best-selling authors. Published in Forbes, Salon, Jezebel. Created the "Female Lifestyle Empowerment Brand" concept—cited in a Giller Prize-shortlisted novel and used by academics and entrepreneurs worldwide.
Copywriting & Curriculum: Copywriter for 10 years. Developed 30+ courses of my own, hundreds with clients. Built a high-consent copywriting model that doesn't use pain or shame—and certified hundreds of students in it.
Teaching: 17 years coaching entrepreneurs. 880+ in the past three years alone. Taught kindergarten AND university (political theory). Built businesses that made hundreds of thousands—and helped clients build businesses that made millions.
bout Me, Personally
The Outsider Perspective
I'm Canadian—marinated in American media, watching the game from outside it while coaching 90% American clients through every rule and trap.
I live in Mexico now. My family is Black. My community is Latino and Black. I have five kids, two of whom are now in university and will graduate debt-free because I funded it—one of the biggest accomplishments of my life.
I started this business as a broke single mom. No child support for 12 years. I didn't do it with mindset work or manifesting (but let's never count them out).
I did it by refusing to believe the toxic social scripts that told me I was the problem to be fixed, by knowing that no one was coming to save me, and by moving towards what I wanted way before I was ready.
Because there's no such thing as 'ready'. There's only action & traction and doing what we said we'd do. We get ready along the way.
ALL THAT TO SAY:
Being outside a thing means you can see things other people can't—and that is always a business asset and source of power.
That’s why
I’m here.
I teach The MOVER Method inside 1 to 10KD—a program for deep subject matter experts who are done guessing and ready to build.
Even—and especially—when you're maxed out with 1:1 clients or a job that's too good to leave (yet).
Because there's no such thing as "ready." You move. You build. The clarity *and the cash* follows.
Building the business changes you too.
I write weekly about what happens when you stop waiting for permission and start building something THAT WORKS. Not just business—the epiphanies and reframes that make your transformational work possible. And profitable.
