About Me

the (previously unpublished) novel

I've always been a dreamer.

 

As a child, I saw myself wowing large audiences with my singing in well-known venues. and that happened...for awhile.

​

But, somewhere along the way, I gave in to fear and lost my self-confidence, which caused me to give up on my dreams-all of them, including my singing and acting aspirations as well as my dreams of falling in love and becoming a mother.

 

I withdrew into myself and became a recluse (like, I only ventured from my home for doctor appointments or my monthly trip to the store to purchase household supplies) from 1995-2005.


Then my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer (which proved to be terminal for her). That diagnosis was a call for me to stop wasting the years away just sleeping with my dreams and wake up and chase them instead: I didn't want to find myself facing the same terminal diagnosis that claimed my mother, coupled with the reality that I never really lived because I had stopped chasing my dreams at the ripe old age of 24.

​

So I made the changes needed to reclaim my life.

 

I fell madly in love at the age of 36, had the stupid princess wedding and got married at 37, went back to school to earn my degree at 38, and had my rainbow baby at the age of 42 (so much for my degree; I have been a SAHM since!)

 

Being a mother has been more rewarding than any academic achievement, theatrical role or singing engagement I ever had.

 

But something was still missing. 

 

I still couldn't see myself achieving my real potential in any other area of my life, because I still lacked confidence in myself due to the experiences that caused me to shut down for an entire decade.

 

But then I stumbled upon an amazing line of luxury clinical grade skincare products that made me feel more beautiful than I ever had in my life (no joke!) and the next thing I knew, I was donning a pair of cowboy boots and boarding a tiny plane to San Antonio, where I met a tribe of beautiful, accomplished women who poured into me and inspired me to believe in myself.

​

Fast forward just six weeks later, and I found myself among the top 5% of achievers in my company, doing what I never believed I could do: building an empire.

 

Of course, my empire is still in its infancy, but what I have accomplished in such a short period of time with my new self-confidence (and the right tools!) feels H-U-G-E to me.

 

Because flipping the script of your life is huge, and, for me, doing so has rippled out to affect my daughter, who now has a mother who is modeling courage and confidence like a rockstar (even though I never could sing rock), the women who have since locked arms with me, and even my husband, who is happily supporting this new improved version of me.

 

I am no longer just a dreamer or an accidental survivor of the traumatic experiences and challenges I have faced in my life.

​

I am a Boss Babe, and I help women unleash their potential

by helping them to unleash their inner and outer beauty regardless of age.
