After 15 years with her spouse, she went through a divorce that she thought would gut her and ruin life as she knew it. But that wasn't at all what happened. While she did lose everything that was in her former life...it turned out it was for the betterment of her future life. Through her failures in business and life, she has learned how to live from the inside out instead of from the outside in. She understands the life-altering difference this makes and is passionate to share this with others in the hopes they will live a calmer, more fulfilled life. She lives in Portland, OR with her two bright and beautiful kiddos Grace and Bradley, and she’s the kind of mom who’ll hold a tarantula just to make her kids happy.  Whatever you’re secretly feeling or going through, you can live a happier, more connected, more confident life by looking inside and living from there. She's a "come as you are" kind of gal and believes anyone can start living the life they imagine once they take responsibility for their choices, actions, and responses.
