“From shelter living to a memoir that's now a TV movie, I help those grounded in grit turn their challenges into their superpower.”
I'm an author whose memoir, Pieces of Me: Rescuing My Kidnapped Daughters is now a Lifetime movie, Stolen by Their Father. My story details the unintended consequences of leaving abuse, and is a cautionary tale for those who want to buck intergenerational patterns of dysfunction without getting information and support.
A podcaster myself, I now help others grounded in grit turn their challenges into their superpower through coaching, courses, and community presentations.
After almost three decades of working with people in acute crisis-- as a domestic violence advocate, a child abuse investigator, and twenty years as probation officer-- I use those experiences in my talks, books, and courses.
A lover of all things film and music, I've made the adjustment to empty-nesting and moved by myself to Chattanooga, TN after five decades in Alaska.
