I help leaders put life first while leading with clarity, confidence, and purpose
I believe life should come first—and that you can lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose while honoring what matters most.
Through Vara Rise and The Balanced Leader, I help leaders navigate delegation, accountability, difficult conversations, boundaries, and competing priorities. My approach is practical and grounded in experience.
I lead buying teams across the U.S., Mexico, and Taiwan, with a background in inventory analysis, supplier management, process improvement, and technology enhancements. I also offer focused purchasing and inventory support, including Epicor P21 workflows.
As a mom and small business owner with experience running an Etsy shop and local seasonal ice cream shop, I understand the demands of carrying multiple responsibilities.
Whether you’re new to leadership, simplifying business operations, or resetting your priorities, we’ll identify practical next steps that support your goals and the life you want to live.
Your life deserves to come first. If work, leadership, business ownership, and family responsibilities are competing for your attention, this session gives you space to step back and choose what matters. Together, we’ll identify your priorities, explore where boundaries or delegation could help, and build a realistic rhythm around the life you want to live. You’ll leave with three clear priorities and practical next steps for the coming week.
Book a private video call to get personalized advice and guidance.
Have one focused buying, inventory, or Epicor P21 workflow question? Describe the issue, what you expected, and what you’ve tried. I’ll respond with a personalized 3–5 minute video within two business days, explaining what I recommend reviewing next. Questions should fit within my purchasing and replenishment experience; extensive data analysis and system troubleshooting require a separate session.
