CONFIDENCE COACH & CORPORATE LEADER

Hi! I'm Morgan, a respected corporate leader, speaker and certified master life coach. I specialize in helping high-achieving professional women who feel trapped in their success, reclaim their confidence and start making empowered choices.  With a passion for motherhood and mothers in the workforce, I believe that working makes me a better mom, and being a mom makes me a better leader. 


I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Whittier College and spent the last 17 years as a leader in the clinical research industry. In that time, I was promoted through the ranks from Research Associate to Director - leading global teams and multi-million-dollar clinical trials.


As a mother of two children in elementary school, I have missed important meetings with sick kids at home; missed school events for big presentations; lived through loss; and celebrated every little milestone. 


When I'm not working with clients, you can find me enjoying a run, snuggling on the couch with my family for a movie night, or watching reruns of the original Beverly Hills 90210. 

I felt trapped in my success...

Can you remember the moment you started believing that you didn’t have a choice? The moment that your own basic needs and wants took a backseat because you had to do something else? I can identify several of those pivotal moments in my adult life. 


  • I went to work the day after a car accident left both cars totaled, and me burned and bruised. I HAD to lead a webinar that was critical to the company.


  • I went back to the office an hour after learning that my first pregnancy was no longer viable. Nobody at my office knew that I was pregnant, so I told myself I HAD to get back to work. 


  • I continued taking conference calls and sending emails while I was in labor. I was counting contractions through client calls and sending that one. last. email. I thought I HAD to work until I was actually in the hospital.


  • I didn't take the time to call one of the counselors that my doctor recommended when I returned from work after my first maternity leave. I felt better after talking to her, and I HAD to keep my current schedule so that I could get my work done and get to daycare on time.  There wasn't time in the day to research counselors, let alone, make weekly appointments.


  • I checked my email at 4:30 AM because I HAD to prepare another thoughtful, analytical response to an email from a client who was never satisfied.


  • I worked on Thanksgiving because I HAD to get a deliverable to our leadership team who was overseas, and not celebrating this US holiday.



After 16 years as a leader in the clinical research industry, and being on the edge of burnout many times, I had finally hit my breaking point. I felt trapped. I was in my closet crying, and I needed help. I searched for the 24-hour number for our Employee Assistance Program, and made the call I wished I had made years before. I worked with a counselor and a coach, and through that work, I started to remember that I had choices. I found my empowered voice, and my world opened up. That's when I decided to make a change.


I shifted my focus from how to make my current career work for me to how to start a business. I worked with a business coach and completed an intensive coaching certification program to create This Empowered Mom Coaching and Consulting. Today, I combine my education and training, experience in the corporate sector, and my personal journey to provide life-changing strategies to women, like you, who feel trapped in their success.

Taking the Steps

Committing to finding your empowered voice again is just that: a commitment. It's going to take heart, soul, and curiosity. My commitment is to hold space for you, listen to you, help you discover a new perspective, identify patterns and beliefs that may be holding you back, and provide you with accountability, understanding and support.
