<p>I know you likely want the quick &amp; dirty details. Here they are!<br/><br/>Single mother. Sister. Friend. Teacher. Speaker. Ironman triathlete. Bestselling author. Publisher. Life strategist.<br/><br/>HUMAN. BEING.<br/><br/>I have a B.Ed., an M.S. in Children's Literature, and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Educational Technology. I am also a Certified Life Coach, formerly Licensed Desire Map Facilitator, Elite Centre Stage Certified Speaker and Creator of the LIFEMAP Program.<br/><br/>I consume knowledge like red wine. I simply cannot get enough. I love words and connection. I am in my happy place when I am creating and sharing with others.<br/><br/>I am inspired by kindness, grace, vulnerability, and compassion.<br/>I thrive on growth, even when the lessons are hard.<br/><br/>Who I was before I figured IT out?<br/>Miserable, depressed, anxious, disconnected, quick to anger, overwhelmed, overweight, overworked and generally "not-so-awesome" to be around. Married with kids, but lonely beyond measure. I lived on processed food. I wore oversized clothing to hide everything about myself I hated. My weight. My fears. My insecurities. My thoughts. My heartache. I was broken in body, mind, and spirit. I put myself at the bottom of my priority list. I thought it was selfish to take care of myself, but now I realize I was wrong.<br/><br/>My story? You are worthless. Do better. You are not good enough.<br/><br/>Who I was after?<br/>I take care of myself because I am worth it.<br/>This is my life and I am in control.<br/>I make a difference in the world when I can show up in all my light just as I am. I am passionate. I wake up every day knowing how I decide to live the day is entirely up to me. I consciously choose how I create my days.<br/><br/>I make stuff happen. I understand productivity. I am aware of how I sabotage. I am intimate with the importance of having a vision and nurturing a healthy belief system. I know the core feelings I desire and they drive my soul to do the work I was called here to do.<br/><br/>Ease. Expansion. Authenticity. Joy. Connection.Leisure<br/>I have clarity, focus, vision, and support.<br/><br/>My story? You are worthy. You are more than enough as you are.<br/><br/>I changed my life by changing my mind &amp; my story. Is it your turn?</p>
