There have been many pivotal moments in my life that have brought me to where I am at today with a desire to walk alongside women who are struggling. The first came after undergrad when I packed up my car and moved to East Texas to work/live at a therapeutic boarding school. It was there that the passion for walking alongside people who were struggling was born. It was also the time in which I began my own healing journey from past hurts. After my time there I ventured back into the academic world to receive my Masters of Social Work from The University of Texas at Arlington. I would spend the next few years working within the non-profit world providing mental health services in the community.

The next pivotal moment happened in 2019, I got pregnant with TWINS! I had a great pregnancy but was considered high risk and ended up delivering prematurely (for more of my traumatic birth story, head to the blog!). We ended up having a NICU stay and I can confidently say that was one of the hardest experiences of my life. I can look back at that season now and see how critical the love and support that I had was to me. As I’ve been navigating motherhood since then I’ve been more and more aware that life is HARD and out of that a new passion to walk alongside women was born. I spent much of my adult life in singleness and that was hard, then I got married and had babies and that was just as hard. It’s made me realize that all seasons of life bring about different struggles, and has stirred within me a desire to walk alongside those in the midst of the struggle, whatever it may be in their season of life.
