About me
For years I kept up with a life I couldn’t handle, a life that felt like I was going places, but wasn’t. I grew up in a “broken home”, that now looking back I am thankful for. My teenage mother struggled, sacrificed, and put in the work to make things happen for me. My father was fun, irresponsible, and absent. His choices led him to a life of crime and imprisonment and I was consumed by the struggles of our relationship. As I lived in two completely different worlds I had a choice to make. Was I going to work for the life I wanted or was I going to take every day for granted?
I was determined to show the world that I was going to make it, but I was doing the bare minimum and pretending I had it figured out. I created lies around my life and built a wall that put me further from my goals. Things drastically changed when I became a young mother. I quickly realized that pretending was no longer going to cut it. I needed to own who I was and make changes. I didn’t know where to start or what to do, but it all began with a list.
I wrote down the things I wanted in life, built a timeline, and how I would make it happen. In about 4 years I became a registered nurse, graduated with a Bachelors in Nursing and a Masters in Nursing Education.
Becoming a nurse pushed me to deal with painful and difficult situations. As I helped patients heal physically there was a deeper calling that I tapped into. Taking the time to listen to my patient's concerns, their current situation, and how they felt overwhelmed gave me a purpose—to transform lives. I felt that my understanding and guidance made a difference for them. I became part of their overall growth and this led me to where I am today.
I learned through my journey that life is full of pain, discomfort, and struggles, but facing these challenges allow us to grow and succeed. I am here to tell you that the things you expect out of life are truly an expectation. Life is what you make of it.
The road ahead won't be easy, but the reward will be worth it. Let me guide you through your process of transformation and growth.
