ALTHOUGH MY STORY IS COMMON,
MANY ARE SURPRISED BY IT
Due to my family situation, I had to grow up fast even though independence was not encouraged. While I appeared confident because I was outgoing, I was anything but self-assured. I struggled with not having a strong sense of self and often relied on others’ opinions and validations to determine my decisions.
The struggle led to many challenges in my adult years including morphing myself into my family. I married young and was a stay-at-home mom for 25 years raising 3 boys until my whole world turned upside down.
MY PIVOTAL MOMENT
Time and resentment caught up to us and we ended up divorcing the same year we were approaching empty nesting. I knew I would never heal if I didn’t make a change, so I sold most of my belonging, packed up what was left, and moved across the country to a place I knew no one and had no connections. This was the hardest and scariest thing I’ve ever done, but it led me to find the path that allowed me to grow as an individual
WHERE I AM TODAY
I landed a job at a middle school and it reminded me of my teen years. Back then I knew I wanted to pursue a career helping teens and their families, but I let my high school counselor talk me out of it.
During my time working in the middle school, I tapped into my natural abilities (which I now know as my Strengths) to offer students the kind of guidance they may not be used to receiving.
I’ve learned to connect with others authentically, based on who I really am. Now, I am in a healthy and respectful relationship and have authentic bonds with my adult sons.
My passion-built business is based on my strengths and gifts. My natural need to teach combined with my entrepreneurial spirit has led me to follow my heart at last.
I love helping others feel empowered every day!
