This Animal Body is a unique story, imaginative, beautifully written, with characters so real I kept forgetting I hadn’t met them in real life. Captivating from so many angles at once—a dramatic search for a birth mother, the plight of animals in a human world, the crush of depression on the human spirit, a searing choice between science and conscience. I couldn’t put it down.”

— Jude Berman, author of The Die

Why Wild?

“I feel more whole. I’m back in touch with my creative side. I’m employing my interests and strengths, nurturing opportunities to do things I want in and outside of work, and really just designing my life more intentionally.”

 

– Bess W.

About Me

As a coach, author, and founder of Find Your Own Path LLC, I love helping people remember who they are and what they have to give the world. In my books, that means sharing stories about people experiencing the pain of disconnection who receive unexpected help from nature as they struggle to find purpose and belonging in an alienating world.

In coaching, this often means helping people who are unhappy at work discover greater joy and satisfaction by finding their calling and fulfilling their purpose—in practical ways that acknowledge their desires and their need for an income.

My approach is based on the belief that everyone comes into this world with unique and needed gifts, but we learn to doubt our abilities and repress our true nature, until eventually we forget what’s ours to give. I should know—I forgot myself for nearly 20 years.

Using my 13 years of experience as a certified Integral Coach, I help clients reconnect with their true nature and find their path by learning how to tap into their forgotten intuition and rediscovering their power, passion, and purpose. I offer a free guide; books, articles, and blog posts; coaching; and nature connection activities to help you on your path.

Land Acknowledgement

My lifelong relationship with the land and waters of my hometown of Atlanta, Georgia is a story of mutual sustenance--the land gives generously and unconditionally to me, and I do my best to give the same in return. I'm beyond grateful to the Mvskoke (Muscogee) people, the original caretakers of this place, and honor their enduring presence, wisdom, and stewardship. I grieve the sustained oppression, violence, broken promises, and inhumane removals that forced them from this land.

As part of my desire for healing and justice, I commit to daily practices that nurture native life, encouraging others to value this land, and protecting it now and in the future. I also actively seek to learn from Indigenous people and support Indigenous-led organizations and initiatives.

You can deepen your relationship with the land where you live by learning about its original caretakers here.

May our actions nurture a culture of care for generations to come.
