My Unlikely Path
I didn’t take the straight road to where I am today. I first followed my passion for music, only to set it aside, thinking that a safer, more predictable path would bring me the security I was searching for. But security without joy is a hollow win. I found out quickly that leaving behind what lights me up didn’t make life easier—it made it harder.
Rediscovering What Truly Matters
When health struggles and personal losses hit in the 1990s, I was forced to confront what really mattered to me. That’s when I realized that no safety net was more valuable than reconnecting with what I loved—music, helping people find their voice, and embracing the fullness of life.
Returning to My Passion
By 1999, I was back where I belonged: singing and teaching others to do the same. This led me down the unexpected road of studying IO Psychology and growing into a role as an organizational consultant and coach. My work took me across industries and even to KPMG, where I discovered that blending experience with compassion could ignite real change for people and companies alike.
A Mission with Purpose
Along the way, my husband, award-winning musician Flip Kirby, and I founded Musical Instruments 'N Kids' Hands (now the Music Science Group), a project that fused creativity with purpose, giving kids access to STEAM education. Our mission wasn’t just to teach; it was to show that even the wildest dreams can be real, meaningful, and life-giving.
Where I Am Today
All these experiences have shaped how I serve today—guiding others to live authentically and find their own rhythm. If my story resonates, let’s connect and see how we might work together.
