Live Differently

  An Invitation to an Elevated Mindset

About Me..

I traded the high-adrenaline world as a Hollywood stuntwoman for the wild, untamed jungle of Costa Rica. Swapping green screens and crash pads for waterfalls, monkeys, and the greatest adventure of all: raising my son. After years of leaping off buildings, fighting supervillains, and pushing the limits of what the body can do, I realized the real stunt was choosing a life that felt alive, authentic, and aligned.

I live for taking chances, for stepping into the unknown, and for manifesting dreams that others might call impossible. My journey has been proof that when you dare to leap, whether off a 100-foot tower or into a brand-new life, you don’t just fall, you fly.

Live Differently is my compass, my calling, and my invitation. It’s about rewriting the script, choosing adventure over convention, and showing that with courage, intention, and a little bit of faith, we can all create lives that are bigger, freer, and more beautiful than we ever imagined.

Yesterday, I joined a Transformational Breath session in Juno Beach, Florida with my dear friend, and who I call my spiritual therapist, Lily.

“Hola, ¿Cómo estás?” – The Art of Connection I Learned from Costa Rica

Since living in Costa Rica, I’ve become more aware of something subtle but powerful, something I didn’t know I was missing until I experienced it daily: the way people greet each other.

“Compassion is the wish to see others free from suffering.”-Dalai Lama In the early 2000s, while I was in China healing my brain with my mind (catch the full story here), I read a book called Saved by the Light by Dannion Brinkley.
