About Me

From a young age, I witnessed the verbal battles between my parents, their constant fighting creating an environment filled with tension and uncertainty. Eventually, their relationship crumbled, resulting in their divorce. Dealing with favoritism with siblings did not help. As a child caught in the crossfire, it was a painful experience, but it taught me the importance of finding my own voice and standing up for myself. 

Becoming a single teenage mom was not the biggest surprise to me. I was searching for love and I wanted someone to love me. The biological father left the country. I was not really looking for love from him anymore. With limited emotional support from my parents, I found myself navigating the challenges of motherhood alone. I struggled to balance my responsibilities while still longing for the support and guidance that seemed elusive.

My circumstances drove me to find independence at an early age. At 16, I secured an apartment and shared it with a girl roommate whose destructive drug habit opened my eyes. I found myself caught in a dangerous world, about to have a baby. I needed to get out fast. I made short stays at my mom & dad’s homes. It did not work out. I did not like their rules. Homelessness became my reality as I was kicked out of both my parents’ homes. I lived in a motel briefly with a new boyfriend. My boyfriend’s friends took us in but it was in a bad neighborhood.

Gangs and petty crimes were commonplace, but I refused to let my surroundings define my future. The path I traveled was strewn with toxic relationships and heartbreak. From cheating boyfriends to visiting an ex-boyfriend in prison, I experienced the tumultuous rollercoaster of love and its consequences.

I faced when leaving a guy physical abuse, court orders, and threats, all of which shaped my understanding of boundaries and the importance of self-preservation. My ex-boyfriend’s parents took me and my child in. They helped me raise my child and gave me social breaks to be a young adult. I went to college to better my future. And build a life for me and my child. I finally got a small basement apartment to have my own space.

The challenges continued to present themselves in various forms. I faced unwelcome advances from bosses, struggled as a single mother while attending college. Good news I started my career in Interior Design, graduated college and meet a man shortly after. Married for 10 years and built a new home from scratch. I thought I finally made it! I was wrong. I dealt with the interference of other women in my marriage. Due to stress and weight gain I now developed inflammation issues in my body. I now was dealing with physical problems. The pain deepened when I became a victim of sexual assault by a cab driver, an experience that shook me to my core. I started to dive into self-help books. I began to gain self-worth. Besides all that, my ex-husband and I had irreconcilable differences. He left to another state. Ultimately, divorce and foreclosure marked yet another chapter in my life, leaving me emotionally and financially vulnerable.

Throughout these trials, I was met with rejection and displacement from family members who could not provide the support I desperately needed. Again, I began to rebuild my life. I do not blame my parents. They did the best they were capable of doing. My child now a late teen. Starting her discovery of adult life. Fast forward 2018 I discovered mentors who were speaking my language. I did not want a medicore life. I did not want to only to survive. I wanted to find my purpose. I was not only learning business endeavors but finding deeper self-love. I tried different mentors for more perspective. I discovered I had codependency on men. I was finally breaking free of my chains. Learning to do things on my own. I faced the disheartening experience of having my every move copied while still struggling to find stability in a world that seemed intent on knocking me down.

But amidst the chaos, I discovered the importance of setting boundaries and relying on my own strength. I engaged in the process of shadow work, diving deep into my past to heal and grow. I sought mentors who guided me on the path of personal development, building my mental fortitude, and equipping me with the business knowledge necessary to pursue my dreams.

Learning to trust my intuition and embrace solitude became pivotal in my journey of self-discovery. I faced the challenges of financial instability, enduring heartache and pain while walking a path I had carved out for myself, all by myself.

I stand here today, a testament to resilience and the power of embracing one’s own strength. I now have no mental or physical blocks. I am a warrior! Let me help you on your path and make it a little easier to not do it alone.

Much love,

D your self-love support warrior
