I'm your host of Passion Love Pursuit Podcast. I'm on a journey, just like you. Sometimes we don't have it all figured out, we are just figuring it out along the way. At age 10, I was diagnosed with a learning disability and was told I wasn't as smart as the other kids. I allowed myself to be mistreated and disrespected in my relationships. I lacked a love for myself. Today that story has changed. I have rebuilt my foundation of self love and rewrote the stories I once told myself...but it took work to get here. Personal struggles have lead to growth, and have been the catalyst that sparked new beginnings. My journey has taught me valuable lessons I needed to learn and only once I became aware did I find the resources that developed my inner wisdom and strength.
I don't have it all figured out. My journey still continues to evolve. I'm just a women looking to touch lives, inspire someone, and live my live passionately and purposefully.
