Surviving homelessness and living off-grid taught me lessons most people never face. I've known hunger, isolation, discrimination or even the feeling of being invisible or not human when those who are strangers to struggle look down on you. I'm no stranger to the freedom of living life on the edge. Even now, with a stable home, electricity, and water, I sometimes miss the simplicity and raw independence of those days. Reintegration into "normal" society isn't easy - it takes resilience, patients, and self trust. Through my journey, I've learned how to navigate both worlds: honoring the survival skills I've gained while building a life of stability and purpose. I'm here to help others do the same - transforming survival into strength and struggle into empowerment.
