She didn’t burn out. Life stopped her before she could. And that pause became her purpose.

She didn’t need a spotlight.

She needed a wake-up call.

Cheryl spent years

holding healthcare together

from behind the scenes.

She had the experience

but not the “right” letters.

So she worked harder.

Proved more.

Perfected more.

But the pressure never stopped.

Then in 2019,

her life stopped for her.

A breast cancer diagnosis

shook everything.

For once,

she had to ask:

Who am I when

I’m not performing at work?

The answer?

Someone with so

much more to give.

Cheryl is now

an executive coach

and clinical hypnotherapist

for physicians and leaders

who carry too much

and still feel not enough.

She doesn’t teach hacks.

She rewires belief.

Identifies nervous system patterns

rooted in over functioning.

Her work is

- Deep.

- Quiet.

- Powerful.

And built on science

and soul.

She doesn’t fix people.

She frees them.

Today, she helps

high-achieving leaders

let go of the pressure

and lead

with calm, clarity, and truth.

Because confidence

doesn’t come from hustle.

It comes from healing.

When did you stop performing

and start leading from truth?

I’d love to hear your story.
