MY MISSION

I believe every soul is uniquely beautiful, valuable, and powerful. Including yours.

The world is full of women who love God, love their families, and have completely lost themselves in the process. Women who know they're supposed to feel worthy, but can't seem to get there. Women who are exhausted from performing and searching for approval in places that can never fully give it.

I write for those women. I speak for those women. Everything I put into the world — the books, the speaking, the email newsletter — is designed to walk them home to their SELF because I believe that is the most important journey any of us will take.

Walk with me on this path of self-discovery. There's so much joy waiting for you here.

MY STORY

Once upon a time I was on top of the world. Then I got married and had twins — in the same year.

I grew up in a large family of faith, earned a Bachelor of Arts in Fashion and Costume Design, spent over a year doing a mission service in southern Spain, and launched a career as a custom dressmaker in Dallas, Texas. I was praised, admired, and completely confident. I was going to rock the world.

And then… newlywed life. My husband and I had so much in common and somehow spoke completely different languages. I grew up in soft answers and quiet explanations. He communicated loudly and directly. I took every terse remark like a hot poker telling me I wasn't good enough.

One afternoon I was standing at the stove making gravy when he walked in and said, "Why are you doing it that way?" I stomped out of the kitchen and cried angry tears in the bedroom. I know, gravy. But that's how thin my skin had become.

We had premature twins in our first year of marriage. The career I'd built — the clients, the praise, the beautiful dressing rooms — disappeared overnight. There were no clients to admire my work anymore. Busy husbands and small humans don't exactly validate your worth. And without the admiration I'd always relied on, I fell apart.

"I felt unfit, unloved, unworthy, and un-everything. And it was such a gradual process that I didn't realize how deeply I had sunk for many years."

I blamed my husband. I made mental lists of all the ways he was wrong. I cycled through anxiety and depression while appearing completely capable from the outside — because I wasn't about to let anyone see the mess inside.

And then, one ordinary day, one simple principle lit up in my mind like it never had before: treat others as you want to be treated. The Golden Rule. Something I'd known since childhood. But I'd never once thought to apply it to myself.

That was the moment everything started to change. Not overnight, but I knew I was on the path. I began to see myself the way I'd been seeing others: as someone deserving of kindness, patience, and worth. I came to understand my own beauty, power, and value. And I turned my life into something joyful — not because everything got easier, but because I finally stopped looking outside myself for permission to feel whole.

I am still walking this path every day. And I cannot stop sharing what I've found.
