July 28,2019, I got a phone call that forever changed my life. My daughter screaming in the phone, “MOM THE WINDOWS ARE COMING IN!!! MOM WHERE ARE YOU!” “MOM HELP”. I was in disbelief, what is she talking about. But the screams on the phone told me they were in a great amount of danger and even though I was only 30 minutes away I could not get to them fast enough!!! I couldn’t save my children who were inside of our home that was being hit by a tornado. In minutes our barns were flattened, a silo was taken down and my children needed me. They fled to the basement to hide, still screaming on the phone and then the phone disconnected. I had another friend call asking if I was OK. I had no idea what was happening. She said there is nothing left and all I could say is the children are in the house. She screamed on the phone and said call 911 now. I stayed on the line with 911 doing 100+ miles an hour, passing cars, being called in for my erratic driving, trying as hard as I could to get to them. I arrived to find cops, ambulance, fire department and pieces of our farm scattered across acres of land. I jumped out to run and was grabbed by a fire fighter, who kept me from running across a live wire. He took me to my children where we cried hugging each other and I so thankful they were alive. This began my journey of a whole new life. We went from destruction in July 2019 to a pandemic in March 2020. One day sitting on a beach laughing to the next being told to stay inside or we would be fined. We weren’t sure how we would get home or if we would live if we got back on a plane. After arriving back home, everything was shut down, my children would not return to school, and we were unsure if my oldest daughter would even have a graduation. During this time, I also continued to fight an insurance company to get back home. October of 2020, we faced another huge trauma. We were awoken with pounding on our door at 4am to find out my x husband was in a car accident, and he was no longer here. My children were standing behind the door they fell to the ground in tears. As I held them and thought, God why are you doing this to us. It was now up to me to once again to be strong and try to help guide them through another major trauma. We have been fighting to find normal. Fighting to find our new lives. I am a mother of 3 girls, a mother who rebuilt a farm, who helped her children process emotions, who continues to find the positive and step into the unknown and to DREAM BIG. I have never given up! I took all the pain turned it into strength and fought my ass off. No one was going to stop me from holding my family together! Instead of looking at trauma as part of what has happened in our lives, we use trauma as a turning point to transform our lives and become the best version of ourselves we can be. We have a choice, stay stuck, stay exactly where you are, unhappy, stressed, tired, over worked, overweight, and blaming life or others for what is happening to us. Or you can trust me to help guide and support you to step into the unknown space ahead. The space that is scary as F*ck!! The space where we face our deepest darkest shadows, demons and trauma. The stuff we have packed away into spaces of our bodies until our bodies begin to scream in pain, wanting us so desperately to look with in! It is up to you to acknowledge what we once didn’t want to see or deal with but when we dive in, look with in, and let those emotions out is when we truly begin to heal. When we begin to reconnect with our inner knowing of our soul and our body. We can finally get out of our heads, stop the worry, the anxiety, and the fear. When we step into the unknown we can start to live from our heart centers in a place of gratitude and abundance.
I am so beyond excited for the opportunity to help others get out of their own way! To put together all the tools I have ever learned and support you on transforming your own life! I am living proof that you can do it! You can live your best life; you can let go and heal from trauma and you can DREAM BIG.
I look forward to working with you on this journey.
With much love and gratitude
