18 years inside a system
That still failed me.
I spent nearly two decades working inside the healthcare system. I knew how it worked. I knew the language, the people, the process. And for 24 years, that same system dismissed me, gaslit me, and told me my pain was normal.
At 37, I finally received a diagnosis of stage 4/5 endometriosis. The disease had been rewriting my body for decades. Two years later, I had a total hysterectomy at 39 and lost the ability to carry a child.
That is the thing I carry into every single conversation I have with a client. I know what it feels like when the life you imagined for yourself, the identity you've built, gets completely disrupted.
I closed my eyes
And I saw it.
I had been living at my mom’s for about a year when my sister and I went to look at a house that was for sale. I was hesitant. I was just dipping my toes back into the world. But she convinced me, and I am so grateful she did.
We walked in. I stood there. I closed my eyes, and I saw it. I saw myself building a new life and a new reality inside those walls. I saw who I was becoming and what I wanted my purpose to be.
When our lives shift, and the life we envisioned for ourselves no longer fits, our energy and identity shift with it. I started my own business and created the Own It & Live It program.
That house was not just a house. It was the first decision I made entirely for myself. It was the moment I stopped surviving and started choosing.
What changed everything was not a program. It was a person. Someone who had lived a version of what you are living right now. Someone who could say "I get it" and actually mean it. You deserve that same thing. Someone who has been in this terrain. Someone who speaks from experience, not from a textbook. Someone who knows what it costs to lose yourself and what it takes to find your way back. That person exists. And she is ready when you are.
