You're probably here because you're ready for a pretty big transition.
Hey, I’m Miriam :)
I’m a career and life coach, dog mama, artist, and impact-driven human who is already obsessed with supporting you to live an aligned, joyful, and expansive life.
A bit about me, where I come from, my journey, healing, certifications, and how I can help you:
First things first - I was born in The Bronx, NY (🙌).
I spent my earliest years living on the top floor of a 3-family home.
My mom was a Brooklyn-born educator and artist. Some of my favorite memories were from neighborhood art classes at our dining room table.
My dad grew up in the Jewish projects of the BX - he was a musician, and followed a four-generation career as a business owner in the commercial glass trade.
Both of my parents were born into survivor stories. All four of my grandparents made their way to the US during the height of antisemitism in pre-WWII Europe, and three of them became entrepreneurs in the New York City.
"Where there is a will, there is a way!" was a constant motto in my home.
And I really lived into that lol. See the baby pic - - I was determined to have long hair like Princess Jasmine as a shorter-haired 4-year-old and I chose to wear tights on my head for years because I was sure it created the long-hair-illusion 😅.
I didn’t know it then, but - creative leadership would become my lifeline.
While I love my parents, their marriage - and individual happiness - weren't the best when I was growing up. My home environment was emotionally volatile, unstable, unpredictable, and generally unsafe. (they later separated)
In an effort to “find a way” I put all of my effort into academics, school leadership, friends, and sports while navigating depression, anxiety, my ADHD/neurodivergence, and the grief of back-to-back losses in my family and community. My down time was spent dissociating with binge eating, TV, and various forms of self-harm.
I did everything I could to outperform and numb out my pain.
I felt like all I knew was how to stay true to the grind. Fake it til you make it, Mir.
I graduated Magna Cum Laude from an undergraduate business school - I studied abroad, got my first “real job,” joined a sorority, hung out with The Green Team….and my self-esteem and self-worth had never been lower.
In spite of my efforts to "fit in" (while standing out?!), I couldn’t find belonging.
I couldn’t find myself…and I couldn’t keep this up.
I’ll spare some details of severe depression, toxic relationships, living out of my car, job bouncing, debt juggling, and instead, land you with this:
Being an educator became my spiritual teacher - and it saved my life.
In the years following college, I built a high-impact, high-reward career in education as a transformational turnaround educator, leader, coach, and consultant. I learned about trauma, grew with my students, built schools, supported teachers, and bloomed in love-based learning and leading inside and outside of myself.
Years into the profession, I found I was ready to graduate myself. I was ready to take charge of my life, as the confident, incredible, game-changer I had learned myself to be.
In 2018 I quit my job, sold my car, abandoned my apartment, and packed my life for a one-way ticket to Southeast Asia.
I dove headfirst into mind-body consciousness, healing with the land, committing to my happiness, and navigating my unique purpose and potential for positive impact.
I traveled for nearly 5 months - volunteering, studying, training, writing, and dreaming.
Since returning home, I've continued my studies while refining, clarifying, and developing my coaching practice and expertise.
I now have 12 certifications across fields of career and life coaching, subconscious reprogramming, trauma-informed nervous system regulation, & effective teaching.

I am proudly never not learning and growing.
Today I teach people about leading with love so they can have the courage, clarity, and commitment to make the impact (and magic) they were born to make - the one the world needs now more than ever.
Since starting my business four years ago, I’ve helped dozens of people create more balance in their schedule, develop healthier habits, love themselves more fully, make hard and inspired transitions, and build careers, relationships, and lives they love.
I would love to help you do the same.
