🩺 Dr. David Stein — Therapist who “saved my life,” helping her rewrite patterns after a chaotic youth and glittery-but-empty Silicon Valley chapter.

🤝 Chris Carreon (husband) — Quietly confident partner of 25 years; love + autonomy can coexist (including the funny “we forgot our anniversary” story).

🧑‍💼 TJ Devaney — Mentor/boss for ~15 years; entrusted her with high-stakes integrations that propelled her into global leadership.
