My Story

Growing up in a small town in Tennessee with 8 of us living in 2400 square feet, we didn?t have a lot but we had what we needed, we worked hard for it and learned to always help each other out. We ate from our garden, the deer my dad killed to feed us, we never ate out at a restaurant and we learned to?keep it simple. My parents always put us, family, work and others before themselves, so naturally I?ve always done the same. My grandpa, brothers and brother-in-law were in the military, who also work hard, put love of family and country first and helping others before helping themselves.?

In 2020 my younger brother, a 20 yr combat Army Veteran, unexpectedly took his own life… and then five months later, I unexpectedly almost lost mine. I was broken, traumatized, grieving and confused but allowed these processes to work themselves out. And I went with what I knew? to help others and keep it simple. So, I wrote and proposed a Federal bill in honor of my brother, (Andy?s LAW) to help all veterans and I pushed to change TN law on strangulation to help victims of DV. No one ever said life is fair but in all the unfairness, I found my uniqueness? to help others and keep it simple.

From the time I was 22 until 2022, I worked helping others and?giving to others by simplifying their life. The last 2 years I finally gave to myself and learned that living my best life really is about?simply growing.??At 51, I can proudly say that I?m doing what I love, making a difference in the world by doing it, I?m pretty good at it and I?m simply making an honest living doing it. I took my grief and turned it into growth and gratitude and my pain into pushing my purpose. Just know that?I AM HERE to help you?GIVE & GROW & GO! By giving to yourself and?simply growing yourself, you can go live the life?you?re meant to live!
