My highly toxic divorce, which was set out to destroy me on every possible level, actually ended up doing the opposite. Surrendering to God and asking for help was the first step, as I was completely alone and in the deepest, darkest depths of despair. My ex-husband launched a massive smear campaign against me, leaving me completely isolated, ostracized and shunned with our friends, community, his family, and our daughter. I found myself talking to strangers, in the supermarket, airport, bank, gas stations, etc. Tiny, 2-minute interactions that somehow lifted my spirit. Feeling connected to another human being was like a light that brought me back to myself, reminding me that I still belonged. As I strengthened my relationship with God through prayer and meditation, over the three years of our divorce while still living together, I found that in asking God for strength, He gave me struggles to overcome and build strength for myself. What emerged were three pillars that I was clear about. I would not allow my ex-husband to break me, crush my spirit or close my heart. A three-year, intense spiritual healing journey is really what saved me. I put myself in solitude, going rapid-fire into all of my traumas, wounds, limiting beliefs, lack mentality, inner child wounds, breaking generations traumas, and more. I did more inner healing work during this time than 10 "regular" people might attempt, as I was on a clear mission to not just survive this whole ordeal, but to rise and thrive as well. I ultimately rose from the ashes like a Phoenix. My ex severely underestimated me. What ended up happening was I was able to transform myself into a new, healed version of myself. The version that my inner seven year old always wished I would become. I have never experienced more happiness, freedom and peace as a result. If that's not success, I don't know what is!

Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life.

Find your passion. That thing that you think about morning, noon and night. The thing that lights you up inside. That thing that calls you. That draws you to help others. That fulfills you like nothing else can. That all the money in the world can't pull you away from. Do that. And never stop.

I somehow created a niche for myself that wasn't being served. Unlike psychologists and therapists, who approach divorcing clients from an impersonal, clinical perspective, and coaches who provide clients with an impersonal structured program, admittedly hands-off, I have created my own lane as a divorce mentor. I come from lived experience, having been where my clients are, and I survived. I share authentic, personal stories of what I lived through. I am vulnerable with them as I offer compassion and empathy through their experiences. I have built credibility by surviving, thriving and transforming myself. I tell them that if I can do it, so can they. I like to think of myself as a lighthouse, guiding them back to themselves. In my mentorship program, Becoming Whole Again, I help my clients see who they want to become in the next chapter of their life, post-divorce. I also offer email and text communication between mentoring sessions, for additional support.

In my work, truth, honesty and transparency are extremely important to me. I want the people I serve to know that I am who I say I am, as I share personal stories of what I endured in my divorce and the lessons I learned from it all. The same applies to my personal life. What I learned from my healing journey is that I now know my worth and value, my boundaries are strong, my standards are high, I no longer give to people who don't reciprocate, I don't tolerate people who drain my energy, and I prioritize my peace over everything. I am all about self-love, self-care, self-worth, self-respect, and self-trust. I am the same person in my work as I am in my personal life. I care deeply about people. I felt called to help and inspire others who are going through, or who went through, something similar to my experience. My intention with my clients is to help empower them during the most disempowering experience of their life.
