Nalani helped me navigate the million and one critical moments as an entrepreneur, leader, and parent that are so so hard to figure out on your own. Myself and our company wouldn’t have been able to withstand the instability without having her strength by our side.

Co-Founder & Co-CEO, Chili Piper
Before, I felt like I was floundering. Now, I am an entrepreneur. I needed help to understand why I felt so unsatisfied...despite being lucky enough to land top jobs [at Google and Amazon]. Nalani's pointed questions quickly helped me see that hadn't been giving myself permission to be the entrepreneur that I want to be. Being more deliberate about understanding [what was possible] helped the months that followed [my transition] feel like the most productive I have ever had.

My fiancé even remarked, "Nalani is the best thing that has ever happened to you.
