I know what it feels like to have my heart shattered, to live with deep emotional pain, and to reach a point where life does not feel worth living. I understand the sleepless nights with ruminating thoughts of the “not good enoughs” running wild in my mind. I remember the three octave higher voice saying “I’m fine” when it was the furthest thing from the truth.

My life, my future dreams, and my identity as a wife and mother were stripped from me in the blink of an eye when he walked in one night and said, “I want a divorce.”

I felt lost, confused, ashamed, and had no idea how to move forward. I stopped answering the phone and returning calls. I cancelled plans at the last minute. I stayed home, scrolled on my phone, watched one more show, and little by little my world grew smaller as I pulled back from family and friends.

Isolation often felt like protection, but with hindsight, in that quiet space, my inner critic did its handiwork.

You were never created to carry this kind of burden by yourself. Psalm 34:18 says, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Little by little, God met me in my woundedness and began to heal my broken heart. The journey to peace that surpasses understanding was long and difficult, but it was real.

My heart breaks when I see another woman experiencing the depths of pain I once did, and that is why I do what I do. I help women go from heartache to healing and from pain to peace by teaching practical tools and strategies, combined with gentle, guided coaching that grew out of my own faith journey and my training as a Tony Robbins and Cloe Madanes Certified Coach.

If your heart is crushed, if your spirit feels heavy, if you feel exhausted from holding everything together on the outside while falling apart on the inside, you do not have to go through this alone. This season does not have to define you. Together, we can begin a new chapter with a fresh beginning.
