I spent over ten years in a dysfunctional relationship with an alcoholic partner—constantly walking on eggshells, losing myself, and questioning my worth. Leaving that relationship wasn’t easy, but it was the beginning of a powerful transformation. I dug deep, faced the parts of myself that needed healing, and learned what self-worth, boundaries, and healthy love truly look like. That work led me to the relationship I’m in today—over 30 years of love built on mutual respect, emotional safety, and open communication. I’ve helped countless others along the way—friends, family, and colleagues—who were also struggling with heartbreak, codependency, or unhealthy patterns. If you’re stuck in a painful relationship, wondering if things will ever get better, I want you to know it’s possible to break free and start again. You’re not broken—you’re becoming.
