✨About Coach Cindy
Founder of The Self-Loved Leader • Leadership Coach • Soulful Speaker • Laughter Yoga Leader
​I used to think I didn’t belong.
​
As an AVP at a Fortune 500 company, I was surrounded by suits and success—but I often felt like an outsider, trying to lead in a way that didn’t feel like me.
I was constantly navigating the tension between the structure of corporate leadership and the deep inner knowing that something more heart-centered was possible.
​
What I discovered—through both personal healing and professional evolution—is that true leadership begins with self-love. And not just the soft kind, but the kind rooted in resilience, self-trust, and purpose.
I call it self-led leadership—and it starts by discovering your Love Drop, the unique gift you carry that the world needs.
👑My Journey
I was born with Poland Syndrome, a rare birth difference that made me feel "other" from a young age. For years, I believed I had nothing to give—until I began to see that the parts I once wanted to hide were actually my greatest teachers.
​
That journey led me to become a certified coach with the Coach Training Alliance (2009), a certified Laughter Yoga Leader (2008), and eventually the founder of The Self-Loved Leader. I also hold a degree from American River College as an Activity Director (2012), affirming my passion for engagement, connection, and community-building.
​
Over the past 20 years, I’ve led leadership trainings in corporate boardrooms and women’s circles, spoken at empowerment events and symposiums, and traveled the world helping others awaken to their joy, laughter, and purpose.
🌟My Mission
I believe we are all being called to become Self-Loved Leaders—especially women.
Not leaders who conform, but women who transform—who lead from inner strength, authenticity, and compassion. Your Love Drop is your magic. And when you align with it, you don’t just lead—you liberate.
Whether I’m guiding women in one-on-one coaching, facilitating workshops, or speaking on stage, my mission is the same:
​
To help women come home to themselves—so they can lead powerfully, love deeply, and live with purpose.
