My Personal Story of Loss and Resilience

 

Transforming Pain into Purpose

Driven by my personal experiences, I've dedicated

my life to guiding others through similar struggles.

I understand the depths of despair that addiction

brings along with generational trauma and our

childhood, unresolved wounds. In my recovery

journey, I came to know the power of support,

of having a coach who walked and crawled in my shoes, and helped by instilling hope,

building resilience, and find myself and my joy. My families story of turning trauma into triumph has been featured in a Netflix Documentary, in a Major Motion Picture and in many news outlets and television shows.

 

My journey to coaching is rooted in personal trials. At 21, I

faced the profound loss of my brother, Ben, to addiction, leaving

a lasting impact on me and my family.

​

This wasn't my only brush with addiction's harsh realities;

I also navigated through my daughter's battle with heroin

addiction. These experiences deeply acquainted me with

addiction's multifaceted challenges, affecting not just the

individual, but the entire family.

​

Our lowest point came when our private life, including my

daughter's involvement in the "Bling Ring" Celebrity burglaries,

was aired on "Pretty Wild," publicly magnifying our struggles

and pain. Despite this, hope remained.

​

Remarkably, my daughter and her friend have now been

heroin-free for over a decade, leading fulfilling lives and

caring for their children. Their story is a testament to

recovery's power. Our family's narrative is a mix of hardship

and triumph, a reminder that even in darkness, there's

always hope for healing and renewal.

 

2013 marked a turning point for me, marked by the end of my

11-year marriage and the birth of my granddaughter, Harper,

amidst a toxic relationship with her mother, my daughter Alexis.

That year, Alexis and her husband confronted me, leading me to

recognize that my own wounded inner child was contributing to

our struggles.

 

Their words propelled me to seek guidance from mentors, coaches, and therapists.

Harper's arrival ignited my resolve to break the cycle of addiction and mental health issues in our family and address the generational trauma. Recognizing myself as an "adult child," I committed to a deep exploration of addiction and co-dependency, aiming to heal not only my family but also myself.

​

I am now that coach for individuals and families. My approach

is rooted in empathy, education, and empowerment, aiming

to heal not just the individual but the entire family system.
