My path to becoming a motivational speaker and life transition coach was determined by my life experiences:
-
I started my first business when I was 24, sold it to a multi-national firm and became a high-powered executive making a 6-figure income.
-
Got married and had my first child, Connor, who died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome at 4 months old.
-
Went on to have my second child who has severe intellectual disabilities.
-
Left my job and became a national family safety expert and TV spokesperson known as The Safety Mom to help other families struggling with issues.
-
Have two daughters – now going through that magical time called teen years!
-
Went through a rough divorce (is there any other kind??) and walked away with no money and was forced to declare bankruptcy and start again.
-
Met my second husband and, four weeks after we were married, he was diagnosed with Primary Progressive MS.
-
Today I’m the primary caregiver for my son, my husband and my mom who lives with us.
Turn your wounds into wisdom. ― Oprah Winfrey
There were days when the burdens felt overwhelming. But I knew that “quitting life” was not an option for my kids or myself. I knew that if I didn’t learn how to take care of myself, take control and take a stand I would end up sick physically and emotionally.
And so, I took a master’s course on “me.” I practiced meditation, I immersed myself in lectures and reading from some of the leading experts on empowerment, spirituality and motivation. I consulted with physicians, nutritionists, therapists, spiritual leaders and fitness gurus to learn how to make myself stronger, fulfill my dreams and, in the process be a better mom, spouse, daughter, business owner and friend.
It took hard work, some setbacks, a dedication to reclaiming my life and a commitment to honoring who I knew I was meant to be.
I came to realize that what I’m most passionate about is sharing what I’ve learned in order to help other women release their fear, regain their self-confidence and become happy.
Today I am a motivational speaker, brand ambassador, author and coach. I work with women who are ready to expand into their full potential and live life on their terms courageously and confidently.
So…are you ready to Shut the FEAR Up?!
