I started using drugs and alcohol when i was 13 years old , looking for love , Acceptance, and value in all the wrong places. It led me down a very dark place until I was 23 years old. By that time, I was addicted to drugs and alcohol, using heroin every day and smoking crack at night. It was a very dark season of my life. I felt hopeless, Ashamed, hated myself, very lonely, lost, depressed, never felt like I would ever be good enough for anything. I came to a very desperate place in my life where I cried out for help , God Rescued me when I was 23 years old I went into Teen Challenge a faith-based recovery home and my life has never been the same. That dark season shaped my in such an incredible way because my story is my passion to help others !   
 
Here are 2 defining moments that shaped me in these last few years !    
1) 2020 of February we were away on a date weekend and we came home to our house burning down. it was an older mobile home and when we got home, everything was destroyed. In a moment, we lost our home, all our belongings, God spared my new son stuff that was only a baby. All I heard was, I will work all things out for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose. We had no money no place to go, but the Lord has just given us a church building . That week we had an ice storm where everything was frozen and shut down. The Lord provided aThat week we had an ice storm where everything was frozen and shut down. The Lord provided a place for us to stay for two weeks. right before the storm we went to sleep and we mentioned to each other it’s going to be so cold. How could we have a building and not open our building for the homeless. So for one week we did an emergency shelter at the church building. It was the only building in that whole area that had electricity throughout the whole storm. we had nowhere to live yet God was calling us to take care of the homeless. It was a season of Depending and trusting on God. After that one week when we close the shelter down. That day, the Lord provided a home, Provided all the furniture and everything we needed for a home, provided financial blessings from all over the world to help us. We were beyond amazed and blessed for God‘s love and abundance and that season.  
 
 2) Another Defining moment for us was this last season the Lord has used betrayal, Disappointment, lost, and a lot of pain to shape us in a beautiful way! We went through two of our closest leaders betraying us, A lot of division on our team, too, leaving our building and taking a season of sabbatical and rest for our family and for our souls. I think one of the most beautiful lessons I’ve learned in the season is don’t skim through grief, disappointment or loss, but allow the Lord to heal your heart, work through the pain of growth and don’t be Afraid to step back as a leader to deal with the more

I am a personal empowerment coach. My background is in training, facilitation and public speaking. It was through own personal journey that led me to where I am today; empowering women to start prioritizing themselves.
This means taking care of themselves physically,mentally, emotionally and Spiritually to live life with more ease and grace.As a single mom working in the corporate world raising two young boys, I struggled to keep up with all the pressures of life. I finally realized after a lot heartache, pain and health issues, I had to start choosing myself. It was through all of the multiple roles I’ve been in through the yearsthat brought me full circle to helping and serving others today.
The purpose of my work is to teach women how to tap into their inner power through personal transformation and cultivating a strong Spiritual connection. It was through my own unhealthy relationship patterns, dimming my light to please others, and soul crushing heartbreaks that ledme to get the right support to gain back my power. This has allowed me to share with others what completely transformed my life through the darkest times.
