“Witnessing the beauty of human spirit overcoming is my greatest personal inspiration.”
Tracy Augustine
Over the years I have worked with women who appear strong and capable on the outside ~ yet quietly question themselves underneath.
Women who handle a lot, think deeply, and want more from life than simply keeping everything together.
Again and again I saw the same thing:
Women do not need more pressure to improve themselves.
They need a space where they can hear themselves clearly. And begin living from what they already know is true.
STAND grew out of that truth.
The Work Is Personal
I did not arrive at this work through theory.
Like many of the women I mentor, I spent years appearing confident and capable on the outside while quietly carrying self-doubt underneath.
I learned to function well.
To manage.
To do things the “right” way.
And still, somewhere inside I knew there was something more.
Over time, I began to recognize the deeper patterns guiding my decisions ~ the ways I questioned myself, talked myself out of what mattered, and measured my worth against expectations that were never truly my own.
Through years of personal work and life experience, I began to live from something far more valuable than strategies or techniques:
A steady inner clarity.
The ability to lead myself even in uncertainty.
That lived understanding became the foundation for STAND.
Not perfection.
Not having everything figured out all of the time.
But learning to live from truth instead of fear.
My approach is steady, direct and deeply personal.
I do not believe in surface-level change or endless reflection without action.
My goal is never quick answers or temporary motivation. I help women make real shifts in how they live ~ intentionally.
I do not lead from a pedestal.
I walk alongside.
Listening carefully.
Asking thoughtful questions.
Offering perspective and guidance drawn from both experience and study.
Women often describe the experience as both supportive and challenging ~ a place where they feel deeply understood and encouraged to grow.
Real change is not dramatic or performative.
It is lived in the decisions you make, the standards you hold and the way you relate to yourself every day.
How I Lead
Background and Experience.
My work grew out of years of studying and exploring the patterns that shape how women live ~ emotionally, physically, and personally.
My early work focused on helping women untangle their relationship with food, body, and self-worth, work that still informs my approach today.
I trained through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and the Institute of Eating Psychology and continue to deepen my understanding of what helps women create meaningful change.
But it is lived experience ~ and years walking alongside women through meaningful change ~ that have shaped my approach most deeply.
I believe knowledge matters.
But knowledge alone is rarely enough.
Lasting change happens when insight becomes action ~ and new ways of living are practiced in real life.
The Standard I Live By
STAND reflects the standard I hold in my own life.
Grounded.
Intentional.
Reflective.
Committed to doing.
I believe women ~ myself included ~ are capable of far more than we often allow ourselves to live.
This is deeply personal to me.
Not because I have all the answers.
But because I know what it means to question yourself, learn to trust your own voice, and create something more fulfilling.
I consider it a privilege to walk beside women who are ready for that kind of change.
