The Man I Didn’t Know is a memoir encouraged by my dad, Michael Williams Leibert, founder of the Berkeley Repertory Theatre. Two years after my birth, he brought a theater company to life with his natural gift for inspiring talented people and weaving magic on stage. When I was seventeen, he died of alcoholism, taking a part of me with him...

ABOUT ME
I have a sincere passion for self-expression and sharing ideas. Curiosity compels me toward risk, which forever sparks my adaptability and dares me to grow. My willingness "to go for it" has taken me all over the world.
​
I received my certification through Co-Active Training Institute (CTI) in May 2021. I know people are "Naturally Creative, Resourceful and Whole" providing a personal (designed specific) well of knowledge to enhance growth. And sometimes, we need help getting reconnected to our personal design. I offer a brave space, nurturing and safe, to cultivate conditions for self-discovery. My service is to support you, wholly, in the moment. Our relationship is dedicated to learning with great capacity, we will explore together to encourage and evoke transformation.
​
Through deep listening, being curious, naming values and answering powerful questions we will uncover what is true for you.

For years I was hiding in plain sight. Functioning on the outside and lifeless on the inside. I became a master at pretending that I was happy, satisfied and interested. Faking it was a slow death of unbecoming. I lost touch with my inner voice and spent most of my waking hours future tripping.
In 2015, I walked away from everything as I knew it and committed myself to a different way. Two divorces, two fantastic kids, a very special dog and 20 years of dedicated yoga exploration has brought me here. It has been messy, still is sometimes, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I've learned to be okay with the unknown, maybe even crave it a little. Being with others, working deep and growing honest together is what I know.
Acknowledging possibility creates great pivot, especially when I am in a rut. Listening to my gut and choosing ME can feel scary, mainly because I resisted it for so long. Understanding myself and activating my values in everything I generate has made a huge impact on my life. I am moving away from scarcity and toward abundance.
​
I used to think I could DO myself forward while ignoring my pain. That was the vicious cycle that got me disconnected. So stuck and so tired of the repeated lessons to let go and accept. My life opened up when I finally stepped out of my story. I changed my mind. My strength is rooted in my being, it enables me to soar. I am capable. I am sturdy. I am durable. My courage is forged in the fires of challenge. BEING me is way more rewarding than pretending to be someone else. I learned to TRUST now, this moment, which allowed me to connect with all that was here, the thrill, the ache, my opinions and judgements...etc. This brought me closer to me, fully embracing my total being. It is here that I can BELIEVE in my own ability, power and existence, to cherish the truth of me. Once I move through TRUST and BELIEVE I am ready to INITIATE my next steps forward, to take action. This may show up as a pause, whereby I sit with my learning to let it marinate. Self-recognition is a key to my happiness. This T.B.I practice delivers knowing, the inherent truth I carry. Viewing myself as whole, with full appreciation, gives me immeasurable strength. Cultivating solutions through deep connection is absolutely possible.
​
It took me a while to get here. I had tremendous teachings along the way. The hard stuff helps me grow. Today is an opportunity for me to create and explore. I am a gentle guide, an intuitive mother, a fierce protector of family, an intentional writer, a sensitive painter, an imaginative cook, a safe companion, a loner at heart and a brave soul. I am forever changing and growing.

Astrology is a healing modality. Debra Silverman inspires me to hone my skill of interpreting the stars. Each and every one of us was born to heal our world. Using our unique talents will evolve our species. This wisdom of the stars is here to guide us. It is through connection that we enhance our experience, together.
I am living my adventure as it shows up. I move when the wind fills my sails and relax when it chooses not to blow.
Flexibility is key.
​
Feeling safe is not bound to my familiar, it is woven into the wings I use to fly.
