WHERE YOU ENTER THE NEXT CHAPTER OF YOUR LIFE, FACING YOUR FEARS AND MOVING FORWARD WITH MEANING, INTENTION, AND PURPOSE.

Welcome!

I’m so glad you’re here.

The Pebble in Your Shoe allows you to address topics you aren’t aware are bothering you. Here, we open up the conversation and come to terms with these difficult issues.

It’s primarily for people at the end of their careers, empty nesters, or anyone moving into a new chapter of their lives with meaning, intention, and purpose.

Now’s the time to tie up the loose ends. You can fix things if they need fixing. It’s not too late. There’s still so much to experience.

This is a place to unpack those feelings of unease, vulnerability, and fear that are holding you back. Let’s make this next part of your life better than the one before.
