Discover My Story

I didn’t grow up with the privilege of stability or certainty. Poverty was a constant reality, and having an absent father left a gap that nothing else seemed to fill. As a child, I often wondered why life felt so heavy, why I felt so unseen. Those early years, full of questions and self-doubt, planted the seeds of resilience in me—though I didn’t realize it at the time.

As I grew older, the challenges only became more intense. I faced the emotional pain of divorce, the exhaustion of single motherhood, and the constant battle with depression and anxiety. But one of the hardest moments in my life was losing my grandmother. She was my person—the one who grounded me, supported me, and made me feel safe. Making the decision to let her go after she battled COVID in 2022 devastated me, and I carried immense guilt and responsibility for her passing. It was a moment that shook me to my core, but it also deepened my understanding of love, loss, and resilience.

During this time, my son Caleb was my anchor, the reason I continued to push forward. I realized that to truly show up for him, I needed to heal myself. It was time to rebuild, not just for me, but for him, and for the memory of my grandmother, who always believed in my strength.

The Turning Point

It wasn’t one big moment that changed my life, but a series of small, pivotal decisions. I reached a point where I knew I couldn’t continue living this way. I was emotionally drained, spiritually tired, and mentally at my lowest. It was in these quiet moments of desperation that I decided to take control. I realized that if I wanted to be the mother Caleb deserved and honor the legacy my grandmother left, I had to start by healing myself.

I learned the power of language—how the words we speak over ourselves shape our reality. Through faith, therapy, and a commitment to self-love, I began the slow but steady journey of rebuilding. I started speaking life over myself instead of defeat. I found strength in being vulnerable, sharing my truth, and accepting that my past didn’t define my future.

Transformation and Empowerment

As I began to heal, something shifted. I no longer saw my past as a weight but as a testament to my resilience. My struggles with poverty, heartbreak, single motherhood, mental health challenges, and the loss of my grandmother became the very things that fueled my purpose. Caleb has always been my biggest motivation, and I wanted to show him that no matter how tough life gets, we can rewrite our stories.

Through nearly a decade of experience as an educator and my passion for social-emotional learning, I realized I had the tools to help others on their journey. I combined my professional expertise with my personal experiences to empower individuals to transform their mindset and take control of their narrative.
