Flourishing Forward: From Every Floor to Authentic Glow Coaching

When I look back at all the floors I worked—Sears, Nordstrom, Underground Station, Rave, Gadzooks, Amazon, and Avenue—I see more than just jobs. I see steppingstones. Each one taught me lessons that shaped not only the businesswoman I am today but also the coach I’ve become for other women.

The floors weren’t wasted time. They were my foundation. And now, that foundation has blossomed into Authentic Glow Coaching—a space where I help women build confidence, clarity, and businesses that reflect who they truly are.

🌱 The Floor to Flourish Journey

• Sears gave me patience and consistency.
• Nordstrom taught me the power of excellence in service.
• Underground Station showed me the connection between confidence and authenticity.
• Rave & Gadzooks sharpened my creativity and flexibility.
• Amazon instilled the importance of systems and scalability.
• Avenue revealed the power of representation and visibility.

Each stop wasn’t the finish line—it was preparation for the bigger vision.

✨ The Business Lesson: Every Step Has Purpose

The biggest lesson of all is this: your floor is your preparation for your flourishing.

• What feels ordinary today is building extraordinary tomorrow.
• What looks like “just a job” is often training for your future business.
• Every experience has value when you choose to carry the lesson forward.

🌸 How You Can Apply This to Your Business

Ask yourself:

• What past experiences am I overlooking that could actually be strengths in my business?
• How can I use my story to connect with my clients?
• Where do I need to stop dismissing my “floor” and start seeing it as part of my flourish?

💡 Coaching Reflection

“What part of my story am I ready to embrace as part of my power, instead of seeing it as just my past?”

✨ Flourish Forward

Authentic Glow Coaching was born out of every floor I once worked. And now, my mission is to help women see their own glow, to transform their floors into flourishing businesses, and to remind them that their stories are their strength.

Affirmation for Today:

“Every step of my journey has purpose. I honor my floor, and I choose to flourish.”
