Attaching Emotional Literacy
Hard skills without soft skills fall short. Both hinge on a desire to learn.

Mission: Permission
Examining the confluence of personal leadership, mental health, and marketing.
The pervasive lack of comprehension around emotional literacy makes navigating digitized, social ecosystems significantly more difficult for kids and adults alike; with profound, limiting developmental impacts that follow us from our formative years into adulthood.
My interest in understanding the mental formations that drive people to reach their goals has earned me a finely-tuned expertise in exploring personal growth and fulfillment.
I think it’s important to talk about.
