MY STORY

I’m an adoptive and stepmom to five incredible neurodivergent kids. My husband and I were foster parents for over ten years, and it was through fostering and parenting that I began to really see my own childhood patterns, especially the survival and attachment patterns I’d been carrying for a long time.

For many years, I lived in a state of constant exhaustion and overwhelm. I felt emotionally numb at times, anxious to the point of feeling stuck, and disconnected from my body while still trying to hold everything together. I was working full time, advocating for my kids in schools, therapies, and everyday life, all while trying to break generational patterns and be the parent I needed when I was growing up.

My journey isn’t over…there is still healing happening, but today I’m much more aware of my nervous system, my triggers, and what actually helps me come back to center. I’ve learned that healing doesn’t come from pushing harder or “fixing” yourself, it comes from learning how to listen to your body and work with it instead of against it.

The work I share now comes from lived experience, ongoing practice, and a deep respect for how much our bodies hold.

I look forward to sharing more of my personal journey in an upcoming podcast episode – stay tuned!
