“Only when your consciousness is totally focused on the moment are you able to receive whatever gift, lesson, or delight that moment has to offer.”

 As a Christ follower, a single mom of two young adults with special needs and someone with many career and life ambitions, my world has felt like it's crumbled down around me more than a few times. I know all too well the weight of competing priorities, the scarcity of energy and time required to get through each day, let alone moving the needle forward on personal goals and aspirations. I also know that despite our good intentions, planning and determination, situations beyond our control can arise that leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, stressed, burnt out, or "not enough".  

  Finding my way after divorce, trauma, illness, and other challenges wasn't easy. Every time I felt I was in control and making progress, circumstances would change. Before I knew it, my job performance and ability to spend quality time with family, friends and myself were negatively impacted. Despite how hard I worked, I couldn't seem to get ahead. I struggled through numerous cycles of self-doubt, stress and overwhelm. Injuries and responsibilities clashing with limiting beliefs eventually lead my health to decline to the point of major burnout. I found myself unable to work for fifteen months and struggled to take care of myself and my kids. 

Talk about a wake up call!! 

Lessons from a mix of rock bottoms and successes have shaped my life and helped me move from just surviving to thriving. 

We all face challenges: they are unavoidable. What sets those who keep coming out ahead and thriving from those who remain stuck is the ability to identify and remove barriers and embrace mindset shifts that support resiliency in overall mental, physical, and spiritual health. 

I ended my cycles of stress, overwhelm, and burnout, got unstuck and found my way forward to achieving success in my personal and professional life in ways I never thought possible.  

The best part is... I've only just begun! 

If I can do it, so can you!
