A journey through trauma, healing, and coming home to myself.
Health and fitness, for me, hasn’t been about a gym routine. It’s been about learning how to walk through trauma and rebuild everything from the inside out.
On March 12, 2025, my life changed in an instant. A driver, moving carelessly, without a thought for the lives around them, turned an ordinary day into the moment that would reshape everything. My children stood near the wreckage while first responders worked to get me out. My son Dante, himself a first responder, never left my side. The jaws of life were right there. Nurses, paramedics, and strangers became part of our story forever.
My brother moved in to help care for me so my husband could keep working. My momma bear, not well herself, was right there in the emergency room. There were moments when we weren’t sure how we would cover therapy, utilities, or basic needs.
The hardest work hasn’t been the physical. It’s been learning forgiveness. Every day I practice it, because this didn’t happen from a simple mistake. It happened because someone chose carelessness over care. Still, I believe in healing, in grace, and in the power of choosing peace over anger. That choice is what lets me keep moving forward.
Slow down. Pay attention. Don’t let carelessness be the reason someone doesn’t make it home. One moment can turn a person’s world upside down, their family, their health, their finances, their peace of mind.
Rebuilding physically when I couldn’t access the full therapy I needed. Rebuilding mentally when everything felt fragile. Rebuilding spiritually by learning to forgive. That’s the work no one sees. Somewhere in the middle of it all, Isagenix became part of how I put myself back together, fueling my body, steadying my energy, and giving me something to build on every single day.
If you’ve prayed, encouraged, or simply followed my recovery, thank you. You’ve carried me more than you know. This year has already been a victory, and now I want to help other people find theirs.
