A Little More About Me:
I am a writer, strategist, and co-founder of Monara Minds.
For almost two decades, I built a career in the music industry as an executive known for sharp strategy, clear communication, and a deep understanding of people. I led major marketing campaigns, shaped artist brands, negotiated partnerships, and guided creative talent through some of the most demanding moments of their careers.
My work was built on one skill: seeing people clearly — their patterns, their potential, and the stories they tell themselves.
I hold a B.B.A. in Music Business from Belmont University and a Juris Doctor from Southwestern Law School, a combination that shaped the way I think about creativity, business, culture, and human behavior. Over the years, I’ve continued to study the mind through coursework in psychology, neuroscience, spirituality, religion, Eastern philosophy, and somatic healing practices (hatha, ashtanga and yin yoga, reiki, sound healing, Balinese massage, herbalism, etc).
After leaving a toxic chapter in both life and work, I stepped into a year of travel, healing, and study across Japan, Thailand, China, Bali, and beyond. I trained in martial arts — including Kung Fu, Muay Thai, and Tai Chi — studied meditation, learned from spiritual teachers, and rebuilt my life from the inside out. That journey shaped everything I do now.
Today, I help people and brands grow with honesty, intelligence, and humanity.
I am a voracious reader and lifelong learner. I’ve spent my life immersed in courses, books, conversations, and experiences that help me understand how people think, why we suffer, how we grow, and what it means to live well. That curiosity fuels everything I create.
WRITING:
As a writer, I work across multiple lanes. I write books, workbooks, and essays on travel, healing, resilience, consciousness, and the human experience. I write for myself — through my Medium publication and across social platforms — where I explore the inner world, the outer world, and the lessons found in both. I also write for brands and businesses, crafting emails, newsletters, thought-leadership pieces, and social strategy that help them articulate their message and connect with their audience. Through Monara Minds, I write books, workbooks, guides, and programs that support mental health, mindset growth, and whole-person healing.
BRAND & BUSINESS STRATEGY:
I partner with founders, small businesses, artists, musicians, influencers, and thought leaders on brand strategy and business growth. I look at where a business is today, identify what’s missing, and create a practical roadmap for where it can go. I help clarify the story, sharpen the positioning, and uncover the opportunities that lead to real, sustainable growth. I help organizations build thoughtful brands and tell stories that actually matter.
MINDSET COACHING:
As a mindset coach, I help leaders, executives, creatives, and everyday people understand the patterns holding them back — and teach them how to break through them. My coaching blends psychology, neuroscience, spirituality, and real-world experience to help people create change from the inside out.
MONARA MINDS:
Through my company, Monara Minds, we bridge science and soul — neuroscience, psychology, spirituality, ancient wisdom and modern wellness — to help leaders and professionals reframe stress, understand their patterns, strengthen relationships, and create a life with more meaning and less friction. We’re also creating programs, retreats, and tools that support whole-person growth — mind, body, and spirit.
