For many years, I was surrounded by a hostile environment that fed into my self-doubt, anxiety, and depression.

I felt lifeless, as if I had no voice, constantly trying to please others without thinking about myself. When I did have the energy to look inwardly, my mindset was poor: riddled with thoughts of "I'm not good enough" or "I cannot do that." 

I went to therapy on and off until I found the right therapist for me and my needs, who ultimately helped me find the road to recovery. 

Slowly I found my voice, set boundaries, practice gratitude, learned how to forgive internally and externally, and used tools like journaling to continue on this great path of healing. 

Building a healthy body is also a passion of mine. I believe in movement, fueling your body, and pushing yourself outside your comfort zone. I currently train for a 50-mile ultra trial run in October 2023 with many other races. It is all about taking care of yourself and challenging your body to reach limits it did not know it could. 

I have suffered significant losses: losing my mom to cancer in 2016; for three years, I helped care for my stepdad through his battle with cancer. Then, in 2019 I survived a head-on vehicle collision at 70 MPH. Then, three days later, I lost my stepfather, and one week later, I suddenly lost my dad. 

Most recently, I had to battle Uterine Cancer and have a complete hysterectomy. Through all of life's knocks, this was one of the hardest because of my family's history with cancer. I am blessed to say I am cancer free. I do not take this journey lightly and know what a blessing it is to be healthy. 

I strongly believe in practicing all the tools and techniques I have learned daily, the same ones I teach. These habits help me through my grief, negative thoughts, and menopause daily.

You, too, can come back from menopause, loss, grief, and so much more. The road to recovery is not impossible. The road to your dreams is not impossible.
