At the age of 50, I was in what most would consider peak physical condition. I was a gym owner, a personal trainer, and a health and nutrition coach. But my life changed drastically and unexpectedly in the spring of 2020 when I learned I have a rare autoimmune disease along with a rare antisynthetase syndrome. In May, they ultimately took my lungs.

As you can imagine, a double-lung transplant completely changed my world, forcing me to reimagine life and discover my new purpose. So, here I am, walking on a path I never considered I’d be traveling. Of course, this journey looks much different than my original plan, but I know there is a reason I’ve been chosen for this experience and I’m determined to use it for good.

I’ve been through other transformations throughout my life, and I have learned and grown from each one. They have all given me knowledge and skills that I’m now able to pass on to others through writing, speaking, coaching and mentoring. 

Each of these events has brought me to discover my ultimate purpose. That is to glorify God by guiding and supporting women on their journeys to live healthy, fulfilling, exciting lives where they can LIVE LIFE WITH PURPOSE, too!
