Gain clarity about what’s most important in your business, create purposeful goals, and take action towards increased impact and income.
Hi, I’m Vera.
I left my corporate job in 2023 with zero clients. The decision was scary, but once I gave my notice I felt excited, optimistic, and ready to take on the world.
On the first day of my new “job”, I felt elated. Nobody was telling me what to do, when to do it, what to write about, when to eat lunch - it was glorious. The day stretched out ahead of me like a beautiful expanse of white sand beach in the tropics.
The hours ticked by and slowly the reality dawned on me. I had no training on how to run a business. No reference point. No policy manual. No guidebook. Nobody to report to. And most alarming, no clients.
I literally thought that I would ‘hang out my shingle’, post an announcement on LinkedIn and have a line up of clients eagerly waiting to sign up with me.
I was so naive!
There were so many days after that first day that I felt alone and a tad bit crazy talking to my dog, Ellie, about my ideas.
I’ve always been inherently disciplined, self-motivated, and able to set and reach goals, but I quickly realized that I needed help to develop new skills from someone who had walked this path before me. Someone who could help me declutter my mind, prioritize goals, create processes, hold me accountable, and most importantly, build the kind of self-confidence that’s required when you strike out on a new path.
My other passions include personal development, spirituality, physical activity, and health and wellness.
My soul gets revived in the nearby gorgeous Rocky Mountains and I love spending time with friends hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, running, cycling and mountain biking. I enjoy travelling, camping, reading, spending time with friends, and taking walks with my partner, Kevin, and our dog, Ellie. I have a dream to one day own a cottage retreat in the mountains.
I’m so glad you found my website – I believe we find the people and resources we need in our life, at the right time, and when we most need them.
I look forward to connecting.

Something I wasn’t expecting as an entrepreneur is the extremely deep and intense inner work that’s required to step into a new version of yourself.
This is an ongoing and continuous process of looking at yourself in the mirror, being brutally honest with yourself, facing your shadows and loving yourself despite all the dark parts, digging deep into your strength reserves, persevering through the challenges, and then recommitting to the journey each and every day.
It makes me so grateful for my earlier life challenges, including a divorce and then getting fired, which left me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, like a failure, and completely unsure of what to do next.
But, it was the start of me developing tools, resources and practices that helped me get unstuck, stop feeling like a failure, and find purpose in my work. It led me hire a coach which ultimately led me to become a coach myself. My journey has led me to today, helping women solopreneurs create the best chapter of their business from a place of clarity, worthiness and confidence.
I help women solopreneurs reduce overwhelm, get clarity about what’s important in their business (and their life), connect with their purpose, and feel confident about their action steps.
You started your business because you want to help people and make a positive impact. Don’t get stuck in the overwhelm, distracted by things that don’t truly matter.
Instead, move forward with clear goals, a strategic plan, and aligned action steps — supported by someone who will cheer you on, hold you accountable, and help you move through the blocks that are holding you back.
It’s possible and you’re worth it.
MY MISSION
To help women live a genuine, fulfilled and positive life, through their business.
