My journey hasn’t been perfect — but it’s real and honest.

I was born to a teenage mother and grew up without a relationship with my biological father. At a young age, I learned that life doesn’t always start out easy. Growing up, I was a three-sport athlete, raised pigs, worked at my Papa and Lola’s convenience store, and spent summers babysitting on a ranch— experiences that taught me hard work and responsibility early on.

When I was in high school my family faced a season of deep loss. On May 30, 2001, my stepdad passed away unexpectedly. Six months later, on November 30, 2001, my grandmother lost her battle with cancer.

Those experiences shaped me in ways I didn’t fully understand at the time— especially the absence of my biological father and the lessons I learned from the man who helped raise me. Those moments quietly influenced how I understood love, family, and my own sense of worth.

Took me almost 40 years old to learn that.

After losing my dad and my grandmother, I started going to therapy. One of the first questions my therapist asked me was, “What is something you’ve always wanted?”

My answer came without hesitation: “To be daddy’s little girl.”

At 17, I made a life-changing decision to move from Oregon to Florida to learn about my biological father’s side of the family — including the grandparents I had only met the year before. Once I had gotten settled in, I unexpectedly earned a softball scholarship to my local community college.

As I got older, life continued to test me. I went through painful relationships, betrayal, and seasons where I questioned my own worth and direction. I found myself caught in patterns that left me feeling burned out, disconnected, and unsure of who I really was.

But somewhere along the way, I made a decision. I decided that my story wasn’t going to end in survival mode.

Through therapy, personal development, coaching, and a lot of inner work, I began learning something that changed my life: the most important relationship we will ever have is the one we have with ourselves.

That realization changed everything.

I started rebuilding my life from the inside out — learning forgiveness, building self-trust, creating healthier habits, and discovering what it truly means to live in alignment with who you are and also learning to embrace, give compassion and grace to the messy parts of who I am.

Today, I’m a mother of two boys who inspire me every single day to keep growing + showing up as my most authentic self. Navigating a divorce and major life transitions taught me firsthand what it means to rebuild your life— which is exactly why this work matters so much to me.

My life experiences are the reason I do what I do today. I know what it feels like to feel stuck. I know what it’s like to question your worth. And I also know what’s possible when you decide to break old cycles and rewrite your story.

No matter how your story began, you have the power to create a new chapter, rewrite your story, and become the person you were always meant to be.

I reached a point where I was just tired… tired on the inside. Tired of the heaviness I felt I was carrying around every day—like a hamster on a wheel… constantly moving, constantly pushing, but never really getting anywhere. What I didn’t realize then was that I had spent most of my life just surviving—living in survival mode. 

So in 2014, I took a leap and joined a health + wellness network marketing company— yes, one of those things people often joke about and call a “pyramid scheme.”  Back then, I thought it might just be about making money and finding a way out of the life I was living...

What I didn’t know was that it would become the starting point of my personal growth + healing journey — and over a decade later, I’m still proudly part of that company.

Let me be real with you: it hasn’t been f*cking easy. It’s been breakdowns, breakthroughs, drinking my feelings, dancing it out, ugly cries, and “what the hell am I doing?” moments. 

Every breakdown, every lesson, every uncomfortable moment cracked me open and pushed me closer to the life I’m creating now— a life I’m finally learning to love… learning to LOVE MYSELF— from the inside out.
