Sitting here thinking that 9 years ago, not only did I wake up to just $5 to my name, but I realized I was in a marriage which was a complete lie. I was broke, working my butt off as a teacher, and completely blindsided by my ex-husband who was living a life of deceit and deception, and by default, I was dragged into that non-sense. I was scared...but I was not paralyzed. So I dug myself out of that emotional and financial baggage, poured myself into my teaching career, and rebuilt my life. I remained silent through most of it all...out of shame and pain. Nine years later, I am a completely different person...I am happily married, a successful business owner, and a published author. I am helping small business owners and writers get clear on their messages each and every day. I am speaking out about what is wrong in education...because I refused to never be silenced again, after that failed marriage. How did all this happen? I dug deep when it hurt. I worked hard at reinventing my life and my career. I found balance. I reached out when I needed help. But above all? I spoke my truth--first to myself, and then once I truly believed it...aloud.
