Are you an overwhelmed business owner feeling  disconnected in your marriage?

Maybe the pressure to succeed is pulling you away from the people who matter most—and you’re feeling stuck in the weeds and unable to focus on what matters most.

You're not alone. Many high-performing leaders face this silent struggle.

But it doesn't have to stay this way. Imagine a life where you lead wholeheartedly—with focus, clarity, and peace, both at work and at home.

I was living a divided life…

I bought the lie once I became an executive leader: “It is not safe to talk about leadership struggles.”

I created a false narrative to hold it all together, but on the inside I was frustrated, confused, and angry.

I was the ‘nice guy’ – appearing calm and collected – yet I was lonely and disconnected from my true identity. 

I was terrified of being exposed as an imposter. 

It took a painful wilderness season for me to see the truth. I had a choice. I could stay stuck in an emotional leadership void, or I could face my silent struggles, begin leading with courage in all my relationships.

Today, I coach executive leaders, teach on organizational health, and train coaches on how to be lead wholeheartedly by overcoming the silent struggles of perfectionism, people pleasing, numbing, exhaustion, and anxiety.

The silent struggle exists in all high performing leaders. Facing it is the first step toward  waking up your full potential and leading wholeheartedly.
