About

I'm a girl from Detroit who always had dreams of helping others. I remember being very outspoken so much so that oftentimes people would suggest I become a lawyer. Due to my nurturing ways others said a doctor. Funny thing is I could see myself being both, but I didn't believe in myself enough to chase either dream. After many years of self-sabotage and being faced with trials and tribulations, I fell into a place of darkness. Unfortunately I succumbed to depression and had little to no motivation or will to do anything.

 

Becoming a mother in 2001 and a wife in 2004 was a turning point in my life. I knew I had a greater scale of responsibility and life was no longer just about me. It was a reality check to say the least, but mentally I still wasn't where I needed to be. I can remember smiling to hide the hurt and pretending that I was all together, but was so broken inside and didn't know how to ask for help. Those close to me could tell something wasn't right, but couldn't pinpoint the problem. Honestly had they asked, I probably wouldn't have told the truth. Anger, mental exhaustion, unforgiveness, lack of self-worth, bitterness, and pain became normal to me and ultimately caused more trauma. I realized that all of my life I put all my emotions into caring for everyone else and I neglected myself.

​

After a lifetime of struggling with my weight and tipping the scales at over 400 pounds I knew things had to change. I had a talk with Jesus and I could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel as I realized there was purpose in my pain. After having a gastric sleeve surgery and a double knee replacement, I used Gods will to help me lose almost 150 pounds to date. Yet that journey isn't over and the road was not smooth or without obstacles. During the 2020 pandemic I prayed and nursed my daughter through COVID-19 and in 2021 I lost my husband of almost 20 years making me a widow. I had to figure out a way to pick up the pieces, but God always had his hand on me and carried me through; I just had to latch onto it.

​

It has now become more apparent to me where I'm headed and I want to take you on this journey with me. By using the spiritual, nutritional, and fitness tools I've learned to persevere I want to help you gain clarity in your life and make it what you want it to be. Change is never easy but having a guide and partner to help you through the transition is priceless and that's what I want to be for you. Let's grow and glow together!
