I believe life is about
Pursuing purpose, serving others, and creating freedom
My Story
I started with my health. I tried out for a spot on the once popular “Biggest Loser” television show, but when I didn’t make the cut, the real transformation began because it forced me to adopt a new mindset. I had to make a change, and I had to commit to it whether the cameras were watching or not.
By January 2011, less than a year after my journey began, I released 100 pounds, earned the title of Health Transformation Challenge Champion, and went on to run my first marathon later that year. I experienced all the joys of a new lease on life from 2011-2017 as I kept the weight off and continued to prioritize my health.
I can remember sitting in third grade, weighing 142 pounds, going home in tears after realizing I weighed more than the school nurse and feeling like an outcast in my class. That moment began a nearly lifelong relationship with weight loss, weight gain and “yo-yo” dieting.
Fast forward decades later, as an adult I was still dealing with the shame and embarrassment of weight struggles, avoiding being in pictures and not wanting to be seen because of being overweight. It seemed like everything in my life was falling apart around me, my relationships were suffering, my health was suffering, and as a single mom, even my finances were suffering. After tearing down “shut off” notices from our front door and having Christmas dropped off at our doorstep, I decided something had to change.
Then, in 2017, life threw me a major curveball. I experienced personal trauma when my husband suffered a heart attack and sustained life long complications, and my mindset and faith tanked as a result. Unsurprisingly, my struggle with emotional eating and weight gain resurfaced as well.
I came to realize what many of the health and wellness programs of the world seemingly missed: the triad of mindset, faith, and health are so deeply intertwined that for one to flourish they all need to be supported.
Now, as a speaker, author, and mentor, I support and guide other women to overcome physical and financial burdens, and embark on their journey towards God’s purpose for their life, and experience their own life-changing transformations.
Why am I telling you all of this? Because, if you are experiencing your own health, mindset, or financial hardship of your own, please know you are in good company on this journey we call life.

Some of my favorite things
Favorite Book
The Circle Maker by Mark Batterson is by far my favorite book and the one that I recommend every person reads at least once. Mark shares powerful insights about the power of prayer and how to boldly pray about your dreams and difficulties.
My Morning Routine
I follow the PASTE methodology (prayers, affirmation, scripture, texting gratitude, exercise) to set my day up for success each morning.
My Favorite Activity
When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me watching my sons lacrosse games, hiking, or spending time with my grandkids.
My Favorite Vacation Spot
I love traveling in general and exploring new places, but if I had to choose my favorite location of all time, it would be the Marriott Resort in Kauai, Hawaii.
