ABOUT

It all started when I began dealing with severe anxiety and depression. I used to say it hit out of nowhere, but looking back it was a build up of stress, lack of worthiness, lack of boundaries, draining relationships, and having no idea what to do about it. I was a new mom, my daughter was only 1 year old at the time. My previous marriage was having significant struggles and would eventually end in divorce about a year and 1/2 later. And I’d just left the U.S. Air Force as an Active Duty member and had no plan for what I was going to do next to provide for my family.

Over the next six years, I hit some very low lows.  I didn’t grow up hearing about healing, self-love, vulnerability or any conversations about taking care of your mental health. I began reading books about shame & guilt, I started going on retreats and going to therapy. Day by day, the struggles of mental health became easier to manage and walk myself through.  I began to publicly share some of my experiences and slowly began connecting with women going through the same things as me. I realized I wasn’t alone and started studying to teach.  I always loved teaching but after my own breakthrough, I had the language and experience to help others.
