About me

I am a professional speaker,hug giver (don’t worry, I’ve learned not to initiate those), full time childhood cancer advocate, a lover of sunsets and Root Beer! Sharing my life shifting experiences and perspectives with large and small audiences has been my passion for over 14 years. Why do I lay out my most painful moments, deepest aches and greatest joys? Because I believe that they can empower you and transform you in the most amazing ways. My philosophy; you can live a life that fills you and fuels you especially when it is full of craptastic seasons. If you’re anything like me “the plan” has not gone to plan. By sharing insights I’ve learned along the way from my heart, I can meet you there, for all the seasons, and show you why today matters, why you matter and how to keep navigating this one precious life.

When I’m not writing, running childhood cancer family programs, or selecting the next cover song for my band, you can find me in my garden or snuggled up with my husband and two Great Danes binge watching whatever he is and keeping up with our two young adult kids.
