Meet Matty

I know what it feels like to wake up successful on paper but empty inside. To say "yes" when you mean "no." To wonder if there's more to life than checking boxes and collecting paychecks.

"Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice: It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved."
-William Jennings Bryan

It took me far too long to realize the truth of this statement.

No one was going to come "save" me. It was up to me to make a decision and build a life aligned with my purpose.

My Journey From Stuck to Unstuck

The People-Pleaser Phase

For years, my go-to responses were "I'll just go with the flow" and "I'm good with whatever." My mantra? "As long as they're happy, I'm happy." Turns out, I was a chronic people pleaser who had lost touch with what I actually wanted.

The Unfulfilled Overachiever Phase

Then I became the overachiever - checking every box society told me to check, but feeling empty inside despite the external success.

The Wake-Up Call

I realized I didn't recognize who I'd become. I was living someone else's definition of success while my authentic self was suffocating.

The Decision to Change

I took a chance and enrolled in a coaching program, beginning the journey to align my work with my values and make a meaningful impact.

The Transformation

I developed my four-pillar framework and learned to choose my destiny instead of waiting for it. Now I help others do the same.

I constantly found myself waiting for my life to happen. Waiting for the "perfect" circumstances to finally start living. I felt like I was simply passing the time. Not really living, just existing.

I would tell myself things like, "Well once we have $x amount of money saved up, then I can do something I'm passionate about." or, "If only I wasn't stuck in this job, which I have no interest in or desire to get promoted in, then I'd be happy."

I felt like I woke up one day and didn't even recognize the person I had become compared to who I used to be and - more importantly - the person I knew I deserved to be.

Something HAD to Change.

I was sick of feeling like a failure, even though I was successful by every external measure I could think of. I realized I couldn't waste any more time being at the effect of my life, it was time to be the cause of it.

I needed to start taking responsibility for every aspect of my life and start choosing what my destiny was instead of continuing to just wait for it.

I've Been All Three of These People

The People-Pleaser

"I say yes to everyone except myself.. I put others' opinions before my own.."

I was the "helpful one" who couldn't say no without extensive guilt. I managed everyone else's emotions while neglecting my own needs. Sound familiar?

The Unfulfilled Overachiever

"I have everything I thought I wanted, so why do I still feel empty?"

I had the job, the salary, the external markers of success. But inside? I was going through the motions, wondering if this was really all there was to life.

The Identity Crisis

"My job was my identity, and now I don't know who I am or what I want.."

When I decided to make a change, I felt like I was starting from scratch. I questioned everything I thought I knew about myself and what I wanted.

My Four-Pillar Framework

This isn't just coaching theory - it's the exact process I used to transform my own life from existing to truly living.

CLARITY

The intellectual and strategic process of creating a roadmap for your life. Turning vague "stuck" feelings into defined, actionable plans.

COURAGE

Dare to dream. Be brave in going after what you want. Express your needs, even when you're afraid of disappointing others.

AUTHENTICITY

Being yourself and doing what is true to you. Living a life aligned with your values, not others' expectations. Living a life of integrity.

PURPOSE

The ultimate promise - living a meaningful, intentional, and joyful life. Your purpose is unique to you, no one else. This is where all paths lead.

My Approach and Credentials

I believe you are the expert of your own life, your dreams, and your struggles. Working with you to understand who you truly are and what is important to you gives you the confidence to realize that you don't need to keep searching for answers - you need to start listening for them within.

My Purpose: I am passionate about helping others achieve things they never thought possible. Empowering my clients to think differently, take responsibility, raise their consciousness, and choose their own destiny is what gives me meaning.

The result is a connection with my clients that lasts beyond our scheduled sessions. A trust that I have nothing but their best interest in mind and a belief instilled in them that they too can achieve a life as their "whole-self".

Working With Me: You can count on me to be honest, straightforward, and non-judgmental. I will support, encourage, question, and challenge you regarding your self-awareness, vision, goals, values, and important relationships. Let's get to work.
