I wasn’t always the confident, purpose-driven woman you see today.

Most people would tell you I’m strong, I stand up for what’s right, and I’m a go-getter. But what they don’t know is that for much of my life, I carried a quiet, heavy fear — the fear of others seeing me as unworthy.

My journey began with a childhood speech impediment that silenced me, a divorce at 42 that shattered my sense of security, and years of neglecting my own physical and mental health — until it led to depression and a life-threatening illness.

At six years old, I discovered writing. It became my safe voice — no stares, no laughter, no shame. Over the years, I learned how to reframe my pain into power, turning the fear of my past into the foundation of my signature story. Writing helped me rebuild my life after my 26-year marriage ended. It helped me pivot again when I was forced into retirement at 58 due to illness.

At eight, God told me I would be a writer. Today, I am the author of four books and am working on a series. I live a life of purpose, freedom, and abundance — creating my own agenda and choosing my own office, anywhere in the world.

I know firsthand how sharing your story can change everything — not just for you, but for the people who need to hear it. That’s why I created From Pen to Profit — my step-by-step framework that helps women discover, develop, and share their story so they can inspire others and turn it into income.

Your story matters. It has the power to heal, to build, and to open doors you never imagined.

Are you ready to stop questioning your worth and start building your legacy with intention, faith, and strategy?
