"I am a PURPOSE COACH, and my story is why I started this social enterprise.

 

I was born into a middle class working family in Baltimore, Maryland. My childhood had some treasured moments and many frightening ones.

​

As a teen I began working in the entertainment industry as a model and actress. I regularly experienced harassment and assault at work.

​

When I was 30 years of age I collapsed while working on set. The set medic sent me to Urgent Care and ultimately it turned out I had cancer. My trauma had caught up with my body. (See ACE scoring system)

​

I spent the next 3 years in and out of the hospital, racking up medical bills that took me years to pay off. Eventually my insurance ran out, my marriage ended, and I found myself sleeping in my car.

​

I journeyed to the desert and spent a week completely unplugged from phone, tv, and internet. I won’t tell you everything that happened that week, but my teacher asked me one important question that stuck with me. He said “You will have to choose. Do you want to live or die?”

​

I realized that I had a desire to do more things with my life so I decided to live. I came back to Los Angeles, joined a local church, started volunteering, and within 9 months I went into spontaneous remission. 

​

Each year since then is a bonus year for me. Now I am thriving as a story teller, a mother, and a friend to my community.

​

It took a lot of spiritual discovery and varying methods of recovery to get where I am today. I have pieced together the aspects of my journey that were the most helpful to me and written them into my latest book From Pain To Purpose. After experiencing trauma or loss we then have to find a way back to our purpose and calling in life. That journey can be hard to do on our own. God held my hand and walked me through to where I am now. I’m excited to share these insights, methods, and miracles with you."
