My Experience Became My Empowerment
I’ve walked through life storms that took me in every direction imaginable.I’ve known the pain of poor health.I’ve lived through financial turmoil that left me wondering how I’d make it.I raise a child with special needs who challenges me and blesses me in ways I never expected.I’ve been told I wasn’t good enough.I’ve been violated, abused, and broken.I’ve faced a loss so deep I didn’t think I’d ever recover.And yes—there were moments when I wanted to be done with life altogether.But here’s what I’ve learned through it all: pain is temporary, and purpose is eternal.Those unwanted experiences didn’t come to destroy me; they came to teach me. And now, I can teach others. What once buried me now builds someone else up. I’ve learned to use the tools my experiences gave me—and I help others do the same.There was a season in my life when I dedicated myself to learning—not just academically, but intentionally studying everything that had tried to break me.As a 20+ year entrepreneur, I already knew education was vital. But this was deeper than business—it was personal. I dove into everything I struggled with:• I studied how to take my business to the next level.• I studied how to support my child with Autism, ADHD, and unique emotional needs.• I studied how food affects our mental clarity, productivity, and healing.• I studied finances and how money mindsets either keep us bound or set us free.• I studied grief—how to prepare for it emotionally, spiritually, legally, and financially, so you can grieve peacefully.• I studied how to conquer life’s challenges instead of being conquered by them.There were many days I laid curled up in bed, feeling like I couldn’t move. But I would always hear a soft, still voice say, “Get up. You don’t have time for this.” That voice kept me going.I’ve been through divorce, remarriage, divorce again, and the ultimate heartbreak—losing my husband. And still, I rise. Because now, I don’t just react—I respond with wisdom. I’ve gained tools, strategies, and spiritual insight that anchor me when life gets rough.I’ve learned how to live a successful life—not one without challenges, but one where challenges no longer knock me off my feet. I rise, equipped.And now, I teach others to rise too.
