About Edlíz

Change can feel daunting. It's also necessary. 

You're here because there's a voice in your head- even if it's a whisper - pulling you towards some kind of shift. Something feels like it’s got to give. Maybe a new city, a new relationship, a new job will do the trick and you’ll get to finally be “that person”.

You research ways to build a routine, or make the “right” decision.  But in a world where it seems like there are infinite possibilities, analysis paralysis is imminent. 

It’s possible the pull isn’t strong enough because “things aren’t that bad”. Complacency can make the motivation to change incredibly difficult. Change due to a crisis leads to a reactivity that might not be aligned to who you actually are. 

It’s conviction, a true understanding of who you are, what’s important to you, and why, that helps make real change long-lasting. 

That’s where I come in. Books, podcasts, unsolicited advice, they offer general solutions that while helpful to build a good foundation or skillset, don’t really get to the core of what’s going on. I work to help you understand your unique context. Then I take my real world experiences (because there’s a good chance I’ve been in your same shoes or similar) and the schooling I’ve received to help you develop your purpose.

I believe that we all have a purpose. Something that drives us and helps us make the decisions that adulting requires. Instead of feeling paralyzed, overwhelmed, or scared of those decisions, my clients feel empowered, bold, and brave about tackling life’s toughest challenges. 

Together, we work to develop resilience, an attitude of believing you’re capable, so that even the most mundane of choices can feel meaningful and fulfilling. We will laugh, cry, and yap throughout the process, and then when our journey is complete, we will part with pride of all we’ve accomplished.

When I’m not working with clients to find their voice, I’m empowering my team to become the best versions of themselves. In the ten years of practice, I’ve grown through my own journey of self-discovery as a client, a partner, a daughter, and a friend. Orlando is where I call home and where I enjoy eating, dancing, park-hopping, and spending time with loved ones.
