Hello !
I'm glad you're here!
I’m Therese (my friends call me Terri).
Do you wonder, “Am I really doing what I’m meant to do?” I’ve worked in the financial world my entire career, climbing the ladder and helping women build solid futures. I was good at it, but when the pandemic hit and life flipped upside down, I started questioning everything.
a tough wake-up
Lockdown stripped away my sense of control, and I felt raw, vulnerable, and honestly, broken. Running a business through that chaos was brutal—self-doubt crept in, and I wondered if my work even mattered. Life felt so fragile, like it could change in an instant (and it did!). Maybe you’ve felt that, too—the heaviness of uncertainty.
finding my way
Then I was invited into Jack Canfield’s Success Principles course, and it was like someone handed me a flashlight. Through those exercises, I dug deep—reflecting on what truly lights me up and realizing how little time I spend doing what fills my cup. My big “aha” moment? Joy isn’t tied to a paycheck. For years, I obsessed over the bottom line, but letting go of what didn’t serve me opened up space for what brings me "True Wealth" or put another way -joy, purpose, and balance.
transforming lives - yours included
That journey transformed my life—and ignited a passion I can’t keep to myself. I got certified as a Success Principles coach to share these life-changing tools, revamping my program to help women like you create your own version of “True Wealth”. I’ve seen women have breakthroughs that blow me away—finding clarity, ditching burnout, and stepping into lives of joy and purpose.
