2017, I lost four of the closest people in my entire life within eight months. If this wasn't challenging enough, I started a new career and took in two children (as a result of one of the deaths). Battling grief, the stress of instant single motherhood, life, workplace pressures, and anxiety, my health declined rapidly! It felt as if I lost a fifth life: my own. I found myself in an unfamiliar dark space and clinically depressed. Guess what? I still had to show up to work and in life. So instead of rolling over, I started doing more of what I'm passionate about and love—serving and inspiring others! I changed my perspective and learned that you could change your life if you can change your mind. ​ This mindset shift began to nurse me back to health. Using my passion, story, and pain as motivation, I created Be The Inspired You as a tool to empower others personally and professionally.
