ABOUT ME

I believe a thoughtful conversation should leave you feeling clearer, not more overwhelmed.

I’m a pharmacist with more than 15 years of experience in healthcare, leadership, clinical review, pharmacy programs, and complex decision-making.

But my life has never fit neatly into one professional box.

Outside of pharmacy, I’ve written books, founded a publishing company, invested in real estate, and turned several of my ideas into businesses, digital tools, and software.

I know what it’s like to want more for yourself and your family while still having to work within real limits such as time, money, energy, childcare, risk, and responsibility.

My approach is simple: understand what really matters, look honestly at the options, and choose the next step that makes the most sense for your actual life.

Fun fact: The “Rho” in Rhowela comes from RhoGAM, a medication my mother needed during her pregnancy to help protect against complications from Rh incompatibility. I later became a pharmacist, which makes the origin of my name feel especially fitting.

MY STORY

I was trying to build a life that gave my family more options

I started in pharmacy at 18 and spent years building a traditional career. When the leadership role I had worked toward was eliminated, I realized that professional experience alone didn’t always create security or choice.

Becoming a mom changed the question again. I wanted to continue supporting my family, but I also wanted to be present for my girls and gradually build income and ownership beyond a salary.

Writing began after we unexpectedly lost Biffie, our first baby and beloved dog. Real estate and entrepreneurship grew from my desire to create more flexibility and breathing room. Software became another way to turn what I had learned into practical tools that could help more people.

None of it happened through one perfect plan. It grew from trying to make thoughtful decisions about work, family, meaning, and what kind of life we wanted to build.

CLARITY SESSION

A focused strategy conversation for professional women making an important career or business decision

Bring one defined decision, competing options, or an idea that needs structure. We’ll clarify the objective, examine the trade-offs, and identify the most practical next move.

You’ll leave with a clearer decision, key considerations, and a short next-step plan.

Session

30-Minute Clarity Session

Price

$99

Duration

30 minutes

Format

Private video conversation

We might talk about:

  • Pharmacy and healthcare career decisions
  • Promotion, career transition, or professional reinvention
  • Evaluating a side-business or digital-product idea
  • Deciding which project deserves limited time and money
  • Writing or publishing direction
  • Balancing professional ambition with family capacity
  • Organizing a complex professional decision into practical next steps

Good fit

A professional woman with a defined decision, competing options, or an idea that needs a practical outside perspective.

Not a fit
