Please explain what you do. If you're an entrepreneur, tell us how you provide value to your clients.: 

I recently published my first book July 1 called Calmed.Growth After Trauma I just recently resigned from teaching after 12 years to start my own business to continue writing and helping others right, as well as helping veterans and their families. I have created a wellness course based on a healing framework that I would like to reach the families and friends of veterans. Eventually I would like to help people from all areas of trauma and struggle not just our veteran families.  What were some small shifts in your mindset that you started doing to help get you to where you are today?: Well there is definitely a turning point when I started to educate myself on post traumatic growth. That has helped me to identify different ways to get more in touch with myself, practice mindfulness, and a whole lot of self-care.  

What breakthroughs have you had in life?: I would say the last year and a half there has been a number of breakthroughs. One of the first would be suffering from a head injury in February 2020 which then led to a rough recovery. Once identified that I was not in a good place emotionally, I knew I had to do something to get out of my funk. So from there I decided to get back to writing and write the book I told myself I would write for 16 years. I did just that but along with it came more breakthroughs with my own personal development as well as healing between myself and my husband who is also a combat veteran.  

Leaders are readers. What was a book that assisted you in life or is your "go to" for motivation/inspiration?: Struggle Well:Thriving in the Aftermath of Trauma by Ken Falke and Josh Goldberg
