When the call came, I wasn’t ready. I was leading a thriving business, mentoring high-performing teams, speaking across the country, and building something I loved. For over two decades, I had coached and trained others to lead with purpose and live with intention. Success followed—because I truly loved what I was doing and who I was doing it with.

Then everything shifted. My mom needed me. I stepped away from the fast-paced world I knew and into full-time caregiving.

The months turned into years, and I got lost in appointments, endless decisions, and the invisible weight of caregiving responsibilities. My health suffered—anxiety, high blood pressure, and rapid weight gain added to the load. I felt as if my body was falling apart, I knew I couldn’t keep going like this.

But this wasn’t the first time I’d had to rebuild my life. Years earlier, I was struck by lightning—yes, literally—and had to relearn how to walk, talk, and even think again. That journey taught me something powerful: healing is possible when you let faith lead and lean on systems and tools that carry you through.

So, I turned the leadership skills I had spent decades developing toward healing. I built systems that brought peace, focused on health,  created a care team I could trust, and slowly found calm, confidence, and joy again—not just as a caregiver, but as a woman of faith called to “love deeply” without losing herself.
