A little about me...

YT pic_edited_edited.png

I'm an author, creator, grandmother, and a firm believer that some of life's most meaninful growth happens after 50.

Like many women, I've lived through more than a few chapters. I've raised a family, moved countless times as a military wife, built businesses, worked as a Realtor, started over more than once, and learned that life rarely unfolds the way we planned. Along the way, I've lived in different parts of the world, travelled to more than 35 countries, experienced profound loss, and discovered that every ending eventually asks us to become someone new.

 

For a long time, I thought I knew myself well. Looking back, I can see there were still parts of me I hadn't met yet. Beneath the busy years, the responsibilities, and the roles I played for others, there was a quieter voice waiting to be heard. 

 

Through journaling, meditation, self-reflection, and a willingness to look honestly at my own patterns, I started reconnecting with myself in a deeper way. That journey eventually became my book, A Self-Love Journey, but more importantly, it changed how I experience my life.

 

Today, I write and create content about personal growth, healing, relationships, nervous system patterns, authenticity, and the courage it takes to reinvent yourself at any age. My goal isn't to offer perfect answers. It's to share honest conversations that help people feel a little less alone as they navigate their own changes.

 

Recently, I made a major move across the country to be closer to my grandchildren. It was one more reminder that it's never too late to choose what matters most.

 

If you're in a season of transition, questioning old identities, rebuilding after loss, or simply wondering what's next, you're in good company here.

 

Life doesn't stop asking us to grow. And sometimes the most interesting chapters are the ones we never saw coming.  💜

Books for the journey inward ~ and the road ahead...

A Self-Love Journey shares my self-love exploration, and how that can help YOU with everything from healing, self-trust, and rediscovering yourself  - to dating and finding your joy - all with compassion and clarity.  I also offer a free, downloadable companion journal you can use with this book. Get it here, on this website.

Why Good Men Get Stuck in Dating is written for men — answering questions men may have if they had the chance to talk with a women they liked, but things didn't work out with.  It's a shoot-from-the-hip, no nonsense look at dating patterns, emotional blind spots, and what often stalls connection, offered with honesty rather than judgment.

The Stories We Carry

So much of who we become is shaped by experiences, beliefs and patterns we picked up long before we understood them. The Stories We Carry is a guided journey of self-discovery designed to help you understand where those patterns came from, recognize what may no longer serve you, and move forward with greater self-awareness, compassion and intention.

Through thoughtful reflection, practical exercises and insights drawn from psychology and personal growth, this book invites you to look at your story with new eyes—and decide what you want to carry forward.
