October is always an important month for me. While most people think of Halloween, October is also Domestic Violence Awareness Month, which hits close to home.
Years ago, I was trapped in a cycle of abuse that nearly cost me everything. It took courage to walk away, and even more courage to rebuild myself from the ground up. I share more of that journey in my book Unbreak Me. Inside, I also offer the exact tools I used to overcome trauma and rediscover my strength.
Today, what I want you to know is this:
No matter what you’ve been through, healing is possible.
When I finally broke free, the road ahead felt impossible. I didn’t become the woman I am today overnight.
It was small, consistent lifestyle changes that led to my transformation. Moving my body a little every day, nourishing myself with better food, practicing gratitude, and learning to shift my mindset. Those small changes added up.
Piece by piece, I built back my confidence, my energy, and my joy. That’s why I always say:
Small steps, taken daily, create BIG changes.
To give you a peek at how I keep myself moving, I’ll share how I work out anywhere, whether I’m outside, in the gym, or even in front of the TV.
You don’t need the perfect space or perfect routine. You just need creativity and consistency.
These are exactly the kinds of practical, real-life tips I share every single week in my free Thursday group coaching sessions on Zoom.
Every Thursday, you can connect with me live, ask your questions, and learn simple strategies to improve your mindset, fitness, and overall wellness.
I keep it real, I keep it fun, and most importantly, I keep it about transforming your life.
If you haven’t joined me yet, I’d love to see your face there.
Join me every Thursday night:
6 PM Pacific
8 PM Central

There is always a reason for the season and Halloween is the time of year when people play with shadows and celebrate transformation.
I think it’s the perfect symbol for healing from Domestic Violence:
You face the dark, you acknowledge the fear, and then you find light and laughter again.
“Turn your demons into art, your shadow into a friend, your fear into fuel, your failures into teachers, your weaknesses into reasons to keep fighting. Don’t waste your pain. Recycle your heart.” – Andrea Balt
