My Mission In Life
I was placed on earth to spread positivity and give people the tools and strategies to go from A to where they want to B.
You will face challenges in your life. Things might not easy but there is happiness on the other side. But in order to overcome your challenges it will take courage and resilience, both of which can be learned. I believe anyone can be successful.
If I can grow up sleeping on a couch in a crack house and become a teenage mother at seventeen, then turn it all around by having two successful businesses where I coach hundreds of people every year, speak all over the world, and have an amazing husband, adult son and 2 toddlers, a daughter, and son after 40 years old, then anyone can be successful.
My Story
For a Positive Psychologist, my story didn’t start off so positively. I grew up poor, living in South Carolina projects. My mother was addicted to crack cocaine, and I became a teenage mother. Wow, talk about a rough start.
Time after time, my mother woke me up in the middle of the night and took me to a dirty crack house, and forced me to sleep on a springy, dingy old couch. This experience was life-altering.
But at ten years old, I gathered enough courage to make another life-altering decision to overcome my challenges and become successful. For some reason, I knew there was a bigger purpose for my life.
I’ll be honest it was not easy. But throughout the years while doing my own self-work, I learned to forgive, love, heal and share.
Taking what I learned growing up and all the subsequent challenges I’ve had as a wife to Jamil, a mother to Tomazye and now Mackenzie and Walter and building two successful businesses I made it my mission to give others the tools and strategies to Get Unstuck, Be Resilient and Find True Happiness. I am living proof that anyone can go from A to where they want to B.
