Hi, I’m Chanel

I believe the world needs
women of consequence.

Hear me out on this.

In case you haven’t noticed, things are kind of falling apart. From mental health crises to lack of clean water, sex trafficking to gentrification…things are getting out of hand. Some days it feels like our problems have problems, and frankly, I’d like to speak to the manager.

BUT…

The one thing that gets me out of bed everyday is you. I believe you’re the one to make things better. Like Liam Neeson you are equipped with a special set of skills that the world desperately needs, if only you’d start living. Don’t believe me?

I know you have a unique combination of…

Talent.

No one has your exact set of skills and strengths to make an impact.

+

Heart.

No one shares your exact experience and cares about the same issues

+

Influence.

No one has your network, connections, and resources to affect change.

The world needs who you are. I’m here to unlock your genius.

My Mission

I want you to discover who you were created to be. I know that if you can tap into your core life purpose, not only will you live a more fulfilling life, but you will make a radical impact on the world around you. The world needs who you are. I want to help you live out your purpose.

If you’re ready to figure out your purpose, grab my book Life Starts Now to get started.

On a Personal Level

Why It Matters

My mother is the reason I decided to help women step into their calling. When I was a little girl, she told me she never got to choose who she wanted to be when she grew up. The oldest of 11 siblings and mother of 3, she would say, "I've spent my whole life raising babies. I was always waiting for my turn to live."

Then she died. I think her life was immensely valuable. She impacted more people than she realized. But her longing to be—herself—sits in the back of my heart every single day.

I don't want any other woman to feel like she missed out on her own life.

I get up, coach, and write to catalyze a generation of women who can say, "I didn't wait to start living. I took my turn."
