The Back Story

​

For as long as I can remember, I’ve known I was meant for big things. Even when the world told me to be “realistic,” my version of realism never matched my peers.

​

I briefly lost that drive when life threw its challenges at me—thirteen months of unemployment, hiding my pregnancy to land a job, my husband’s battle with cancer, and a car accident that left me unable to physically do the work I loved.

​

Trauma, in a way, is like being a mushy caterpillar in a cocoon and turning into a badass butterfly with a crazy pattern that scares away spiders.

​

When I rediscovered my passions, and accepted the way my ADHD brain worked rather than trying to turn it into something else, everything started clicking again. What I learned I’ve summed up through my books in metaphors and in reviews or how-tos on my blog and Instagram. Writing has always been a way for me to process my thoughts and experiences.​

​​

Where I Am Now

​​

I’m the author of 10+ books across three genres, with no plans to slow down. My family thrives more each year, and my career has grown from a social media intern to a paid social director, with my books and blog a cornerstone of my life, like the identity islands in Inside Out. Working from home gives me the flexibility to focus on sharing what I’ve learned.

​

Here on my blog, you’ll find:​

• Honest, trustworthy product reviews and service reviews tried and tested in my life.

• A behind-the-scenes look at my life as an author and creator.

• Whatever else feels fun in the moment! There is no niche here. I'm just living my creative and kind life, taking you along with me.​
