MY STORY

Fortunately I’ve overcome many life-threatening and violent challenges including an extremely abusive relationship and self-degrading behaviors due to NO self-esteem. It took a sledge hammer to wake me up from denial and I finally made the changes necessary to have the happy life I deserve.

We’re a nation that holds dear our right to free speech, but our culture has become saturated with disrespectful and irresponsible attitudes and even our intimates think they can say anything to anyone at anytime without consequences. However, the brunt of foul language is painful, and can even become deadly as evidenced by the increase in violence in our society. 

I’ve personally experienced the deep impact of verbal and physical violence and I myself have even reacted violently in response with terrible consequences. At this stage of my life, I’ve emancipated myself from playing the victim role. I no longer live in old stories and instead, I talk about what's beyond the traumas of the past. I focus on creating a life of beauty and contribution and help others do the same.

As a result, I’ve emerged as one with insight, compassion and tools that work and in order to ‘stop the violence’ we’ve got to heal old wounds and improve our perception of ourselves first and foremost. My empowering resiliency program was born out of a personal need to break free from relationships filled with strife and is a ministry of love.
