"So simple, and yet profound."
~Verified Amazon Review
A guide for every kind of day
and every season of life.
Yes! No. Maybe? is a picture book...but not in the way you think and definitely not just for kids.
This is a keepsake. It's about where we belong, how we protect what matters, and how we move forward.
Beautifully illustrated. Spiritually resonant. Designed to be gifted, treasured, and read again...at every age.
Three Little Words That Change Everything
Learned before you could read, these three words are the most powerful words you have to shape your life.
YES is the promise to create and connect.
NO is the protection of what matters.
MAYBE is the courage to explore what's next.
It's about how we navigate the world at eight, eighteen, or eighty.

And follow your MAYBEs...they just might lead you home.
My Story
After working for a renowned HR firm, I launched Career Wellness Partners and Live Your Genuine Coaching to serve clients in major career, leadership, and life transition. Twelve years later, I found myself in a shift of my own.
Wider Audience.
Deeper Questions.
Greater Impact.
While writing a book that I thought would put a nice bow on my coaching career, I suddenly understood something I heard as a “download” over ten years ago. A sentence dropped into my brain that was not my own. Not the way I talk. Nothing I would say. It made zero sense…until it did.
So, I wrote Yes! No. Maybe? first.
New Format.
Same Fierce Dedication.
Now, it is through story and a larger platform that I challenge you to stop shushing your soul.
You’re never too young or too old to explore with curiosity and follow your whisper to the highest version of yourself.
We all need the most genuine expression of the Light you have inside you.
