From Playing It Safe to Living the Dream

After college I was working a “successful” job that looked great from the outside—but inside, I felt stuck and uninspired. I was following a script that had been handed to me by society, family, and the world around me. I was doing what I thought I should do, not what I wanted.

At thirty, I broke free and launched my own company. And it worked—I grew it from a two-person team into a 50-person operation. But even with more money, more success, and more recognition, I found myself burned out, frustrated, and still asking: Is this it?

The truth was, I kept changing the what—but I hadn’t yet changed the why. I hadn’t stopped long enough to ask: Is this life actually built for the person I’m becoming? When I finally got honest, the answer was no. So I did something most people never give themselves permission to do - I started asking the hard questions:

  • Was I happy?

  • Would I choose this again?

  • What did I want?

  • What excited me?

  • What was draining me?

A lot changed in that process. I moved states, jobs, left corporate America entirely, asked for a divorce, found the love of my life, and eventually moved abroad to a little village on a Greek island where we live an unfathomably beautiful life that I once didn’t even dare to dream of.

From that journey, I created The Joy Academy and the courses I offer today. Clients and friends alike comment on how I am now living the dream - but my passion lies in not only forging this path, but letting you know that IF I CAN DO IT, SO CAN YOU.

I combine my education in Sociology, my life coaching certification, and years of real-world reinvention to help people just like you—people who are doing fine, but want more. More purpose. More direction. More you in your life.

No life-hacks. No overnight fixes. No magic. Just honest questions, practical tools, and a mentor who’s walked the path and will help you walk yours.

If you're feeling a little stuck, a little restless, and more than ready for your next chapter—I get you, I’ve been there. And I’m here to help you find it.

With Love,

Rose

A collage of five travel photos. The first image shows a hillside town at sunset with houses and a vibrant sky. The second image features a smiling woman in a red top and shorts, standing outdoors with a small dog, overlooking the ocean. The third image depicts two people riding camels in front of pyramids in a desert with a cloudy sky. The fourth image is a close-up of a woman wearing sunglasses, looking up and smiling. The fifth image is taken from inside a house, showing an open window with a view of a coastal town during sunset, with soft light and clouds in the sky.
