I am a wife to my wife of 11 years and I am a mom to 4 kids, 21 months to 20 years old. I adopted 3 of my children through kinship foster care. Both parents have passed away, and my childhood wasn’t the greatest, so I have had to heal and come to terms with plenty. My dad was abusive. My mother was an addict. I was a victim of SA. I live with bipolar disorder, and I use my journey to remind others that healing isn’t linear and they’re not alone. I share my highs, lows, and all the pieces in between so we can create space for honesty, hope, and real connection.
