I lost my mother at 13

My world changed forever the day my mother passed away when I was just a teenager. I struggled to cope with the immense loss, feeling lost and alone. It was a dark time in my life, and for a while, I felt as though I would never be happy again.

I picked myself up

But slowly, I began to pick up the pieces. I sought help from a counselor and started to find healthy ways to cope with my grief. It wasn't easy, but I was determined to overcome the pain and find a way to live a meaningful life.

I wanted to help

Through my journey, I discovered a passion for helping others who were struggling with their mental health. I knew firsthand how important it was to have support during difficult times, and I wanted to be that support for others.

I started telling my story

I went on to study psychology and counseling in college, and eventually became a mental health counselor myself. But I didn't stop there. I wanted to reach even more people, so I started speaking publicly about my own experiences and offering support and guidance to those who needed it.

Now I Inspire and Uplift Others

Now, as a mental health speaker, I use my story to inspire and uplift others. I have dedicated my life to helping people who are struggling with mental health issues, and I am proof that there is hope and healing on the other side of pain.

I know firsthand the power of seeking help and the importance of having support, and I am committed to spreading that message to as many people as possible.
