I know how it feels to be broken down by family, marriage, and expectations, wondering if you'll ever get back up again. I grew up as a parentified eldest daughter in an abusive home, left an unhealthy marriage and career, and came out the other side as a single mom of two boys who crafted a brand new life out of nothing. I got into therapy. I went no contact with my family. I got sober. I bought an old home by myself. I launched three businesses: two service-based (academic consulting and nutrition counseling) and one brick-and-mortar independent bookstore. While I'm doing most things on my own, and on some days, it still feels impossible, I refuse to give up. I know what it's like to feel stuck and defeated, and I use my experiences to help women who've been through similar struggles. Women who have given of themselves, carried too much, and are ready to reclaim their power and build bold, authentic, independent lives.
