✨I WROTE A BOOK ✨

I’m thrilled to share that my debut book, *Don’t Wish You Would Have*, will be released on September 26, 2025—a date that would have marked my daughter Madison’s 20th birthday.

This book is a deeply personal journey through grief, healing, and the power of choosing resilience in the face of unimaginable loss. It’s for anyone who has faced heartbreak and wondered how to keep moving forward. I wrote it to honor Madison’s life and to offer hope to others navigating their own paths through pain.

*Don’t Wish You Would Have* is available for pre-order now on Amazon.

If you or someone you know is seeking a story of strength and transformation, I hope this book finds its way to you.

Hey y’all!
I am currently in an experiential emotional intelligence program. (We should connect on this -Its seriously amazingi!) The way I have come to describe it is as a transformational methodology that lovingly and often uncomfortably put my limiting beliefs and my made up stories up front and on show for me to break through. It has been incredibly hard and also unbelievably rewarding at the same time. 🥰 It’s even lead me to write my FIRST BOOK! I finished it just last week. Will be released on Maddie’s 20th Birthday on September!

So as we are entering our final two weeks of the program, we have launched our Community Service Project! It’s one of the things I love about this program, commitment to community! I pitched Maddie’s Message as the project to support, and I won! We have launched a fundraising campaign to raise funds and awareness for my cause!

My team has set a goal of $40K and personally I’m raising $10k as Maddie’s mom! Would you consider donating $100- $500 to help us protect more children? Every gift makes a difference.

Thank you and love you you all! Every dollar helps save lives as you already know! 💙
