Welcome to the Self-Discovery Journey. We’re on this path together!

A bit about me…

Hi! I’m Molly.

Welcome to the world of intentional living, meaning-making and joy-creating! With over two decades of dedicated experience, my mission has been constant: guiding individuals to discover their inner wisdom, and unlock answers to life's complex questions, both profound and subtle.

For over 25 years, I've walked alongside people during significant moments of life as an ordained clergy member in the Lutheran Church. Through the ever-changing landscapes of marriage, divorce, parenthood, career shifts, health challenges, grief and existential contemplation, I offer an open heart, a sacred space and a compassionate ear. Together, we navigate the depths of pain and forged paths toward inner peace and healing.

But my journey doesn't stop there. As an Enneagram and Life Coach, I meet you where ever you are at in your own process, collaborating and partnering with you to achieve your aspirations and explore your inner map that leads to personal growth.

Not only professionally, but personally I know well the power of self-discovery. From my youthful, playful days to full-on adulting, I've witnessed the profound impact of seeking help when needed. This cyclical flow of supporting others while receiving support myself has created a ripple effect. I have accompanied countless individuals on their unique paths of growth, healing and self-discovery - a privilege I hold sacred.

My life partner, Doug and I have been married for 27 years and I LOVE  “doing life” with him. I am a mom to two amazing young  adult humans (my heart). I love my huge extended family very much. I'm a playful soul, eager (most of the time :) to practice and learn from mistakes, and I am so grateful for this process of inner exploration. As my mom so wisely taught me, “No matter how old we are, we’re  always in process.” I find a sense of freedom in knowing this. 

Navigating life can sometimes feel like searching for answers outside the box, but rest assured, there's always another way. I approach each individual with love, empathy, and acceptance of their unique journey. With compassionate honesty, you'll find that I don't shy away from direct and straightforward conversations, always with your permission.

More than a cheerleader or a friend, I'm here to support your holistic well-being and growth. As a confidential and open-minded listener, I offer the space and soul fuel you need for joyful and intentional living. I wholeheartedly believe that when we invest in our inner work, we not only transform ourselves but it also makes the world a better place.

  • “Molly created and provided our team with a thoughtful and powerful training on how to handle challenging conversations with clients who are experience grief and life crises. It was timely to discuss perceptions about grief, roll play, practice active listening, receive helpful phrases to make those tough conversations not feel so awkward. While the three-part training was structured, we had room to adjust and spend more time on certain points that warranted more attention. The team walked away with new skills and resources to allow us to better help our clients.”
