At 46 years old I had an ‘ah-ha’ moment that changed the direction and quality of my life. From that moment I knew that I wanted to help children to Young Adults achieve their own self confidence earlier in their life so that they could live a life with higher self-esteem and a deeper belief in who they truly were meant to be.

I was faced with many difficulties and challenges growing up, like being the victim of sexual abuse from 7 years of age until I was 17. Naturally this created a negative ripple-effect in my life causing me to be dysfunctional in school, get low grades, isolate myself, and develop the belief that I was stupid. I didn’t believe that I was capable of much so I didn’t go to college and bounced around from one purpose-less job to the next just getting by. All of that coupled by the loss of key loved ones in my life. I have lost a brother to suicide in 1992, a sister killed while bringing up 3 very young children in 2000 and lost my Mom in 2007 at a young 64 years old.

For years I was just going through the motions, mostly disengaged from life and still in a job that was allowing me to just get by…and then I had my life changing ah-ha moment. I realized that what you focus on is what you become. I wanted something more for myself and I knew I needed to make some major internal shifts. I no longer wanted to focus on the negative parts of my past, or believe that I wasn’t smart enough. I was ready and willing to focus on the good, leverage my naturally talents and increase the quality of my life.

I became a certified Life Coach and began working with teens and young adults to shift their mindsets, increase their self-esteem and find new hope and a new direction for their life. My mission is to help the younger generations realize what they are truly capable of and to create a life that they enjoy living.
