My life story shows buoyancy, transformation and spirit in adversity. From a childhood marked by abuse and neglect to eventually becoming a source of inspiration to myself, my journey is about unfolding to my best self yet. Each challenge was not always graceful or by outward appearances smart but I can see now, necessary for my growth and understanding.
As a child, I faced physical and emotional abuse, leading to early responsibility and isolation. However, an evolutionary stay at my grandparent's farm in Texas helped me understand love, laying the groundwork for my inner strength.
Returning to live with my father, I navigated a blended family while excelling academically and socially. My academic path, organizational and interpersonal communication as well as working with my Dad at his construction business led to a fundamental understanding of business.
Despite the joys of motherhood, my early adulthood was marred with challenges, including substance abuse and domestic violence. Each trial made me stronger, more determined, and more compassionate. My decision to leave the family business, relocate, take on various roles, and later rejoin my father's construction company highlighted my resilience and enhanced my business skills.
Mid-life, facing my father's death, the family business loss, and my brother's complex estate, I was overwhelmed. I navigated these life events with self-coaching tools and a strong support system.
My journey through grief and rebuilding my life, including therapy, yoga, and certifications in life coaching, CBT, NLP, and hypnotherapy, transformed me. Through my coaching practice, I am committed to guiding individuals on their paths to personal and business transformation, demonstrating the power of turning adversity into opportunity.
As a Joywork Coach, I combine personal experience, professional knowledge, and an understanding of the human spirit's capacity for joy and resilience.
