We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Being a single mother was already a full-time commitment—filled with love, responsibility, and sacrifice. Adding a full-time job into the mix means every hour of the day must be carefully calculated. For myself. who also chose to pursue a higher education, such as a Master’s degree in Counseling, the challenge became more than just a test of time management—it was a test of perseverance, mental endurance, and heart.
The days often begin before sunrise, packing lunches, helping with homework, and making sure my children started their day feeling loved and supported. Work follows, demanding focus and professionalism despite the exhaustion that lingers in the background. And when the workday ends, the second shift begins—class lectures, assignments, research, and late-night studying, often after the children have gone to bed.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?

Risk taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
Stepping away from the security of a state career at 50 was a leap into the unknown, but it was also a leap toward purpose. Retiring early allowed me to pour my time, energy, and heart into expanding my mental health practice—transforming a passion into a full-time mission. Risk-taking in this moment meant trusting my vision over my comfort zone, knowing that the rewards of helping others heal and grow would far outweigh the certainty of staying the same.
