I am a wife, a mother, and a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, but I spent the majority of my life struggling to believe I was loved personally by my Savior and Father in Heaven.

I have endured intense trials and through them learned tools and techniques on how to free my mind, open my heart, receive love, and find joy again–something I believed was unattainable after going through my second divorce. 

Among these pages, you will find that I share my personal struggles and triumphs with debilitating depression and anxiety; parenting children with mental health challenges; betrayal trauma; verbal and emotional abuse; divorce; lengthy custody battles; and navigating a faith where I often felt I did not belong. I choose to be raw and vulnerable about difficult (and painful) topics to encourage others to hold onto their faith when it feels impossible, and to feel hope when it appears there is none. 

Writing and sharing my journey has brought much healing to me and provided me with “evidence” that I was never actually alone, I was always loved by my Heavenly Father, and I was stronger than I ever knew. I have emerged from the darkness I used to feel, and am now enjoying so much light on my journey; a Light that was always there, but I had to learn to see.
