The Day I Finally Chose Me

I felt invisible. I had spent most of my adult life pouring into everyone else.

I was a mother of three, wife, caretaker, dutiful daughter. And somewhere along the way, I forgot who I was.

I had dreams—but they felt buried under years of responsibility, fear, and waiting for “the right time.” I was ambitious, educated, capable… but completely stuck.

I had done everything I was supposed to. I had a degree, a family, a home. But I wasn’t happy. Not deeply. Not honestly.

Twelve years ago, everything cracked open. My world became saturated with grief and illness.Cancer surrounded me—my husband, my friends, my mother, and eventually… my father.

But it wasn’t until after my father passed that something snapped.I found myself in the middle of a fight with my husband, screaming at me. And in a moment of utter stillness,a voice inside me said:

“I didn’t do anything wrong. And I don’t deserve to be treated like this.”

It was like lightning hit. A truth I couldn’t unsee. Something broke open—and it would change everything.

I didn’t know where to go next. I just knew I couldn’t go back.

I began to rebuild. Slowly. Blindly. Imperfectly. I left my marriage. I gave up everything that felt “secure” but was silently killing me.

I started again. I studied. I trained. I became a certified professional coach. Then a 3 Brains coach. I dove into spiritual healing, somatic work, emotional release.

And most of all—I healed myself.I faced the trauma I had long buried.I learned to feel again. To trust myself. To choose me.

I started helping others do the same. At first quietly. Then with more courage. Because the more I worked with people, the more I realized:

So many of us are quietly suffering in our relationships. Repeating the same cycles. Playing the same roles. Feeling alone, resentful, misunderstood—even with the people we love most.

Today, I specialize in helping people navigate romantic and family relationships with more clarity, peace, and self-worth.

I’ve guided people through breakups, toxic family patterns, communication blocks, and emotional shutdowns. And I’ve helped them come out stronger, more grounded, and finally connected to who they really are.

If you’re feeling stuck…If something in your relationships just isn’t working…If you know there’s more for you—but don’t know how to access it…

I want to help.
