I spent 23 years behind the chair helping women feel beautiful—but behind the scenes, my own life was unraveling. I didn’t get divorced…I got widowed. Suicide broke my world apart, and I’ve been learning how to live—really live—ever since.

Grief cracked me open, truth saved me, and now I’m making my way from hairstylist to full-time life coach, writer, and healing-circle junkie. I’m writing my first book, 23 Ways to Leave—a heart-filled how-to on walking away from toxic people, patterns, and pain—and sharing the messy magic of starting over, again and again.

This is where I spill the tea on healing, leaving what hurts, and finding yourself in the wreckage. No filters, no fluff—just the real, raw stuff.

Still processing. Still becoming. Come sit with me.
