"The breadcrumbs don't stop.
We do."
Korean American.
Minister of
Walking Prayer.
I am a 6/2 Splenic Projector, an ordained Minister of Walking Prayer mentored by Grandmother Jyoti of the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers, and a woman who has spent most of her life following pulls she could not defend and figuring out what they meant later. My name means sacred conch — courage and hope. I have been doing this practice for twenty-three years and I still don't have it figured out. That is the whole point.
A former experience lead at IDEO with dual master's degrees, I have spent the last fourteen years guiding seasoned coaches, healers, and midlife women. I am the creator of the Devoted Archetypes, the DEVOTED Way methodology, and the Devoted Energy Coaching School.
