It haunts me to think that we are wasting the world’s greatest resource: human potential. I believe the world’s biggest problems can be solved, but not with the same thinking that got us there.

Losing my child and then my best friend caused me to fail a semester in school and I had to repeat. It was a tough road, but I refused to give up and struggled through.

In our organization, we believe in the potential of every individual to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. To be part of that journey, to assist in that transformation, and to witness the power of redemption through our combined efforts is not just a responsibility, it’s a privilege. 

I want to help people of all ages and walks of life feel empowered to make good financial decisions.

My biggest obstacles in life have been locating those individuals who are my purpose pushers and destiny helpers, the ones God sends into my life for a specific purpose.

Learn and reflect upon the past as to not repeat poor choices, and wake up every morning with a smile. 

I want to approach life with even more capacity for love, creativity, kindness, compassion, and collaboration!

I’ve experienced significant pivots in my thirties and forties, facing many challenges I never anticipated.

If we’re always moving, relocating, changing, starting over, etc... we might never know the richness of where we already are. 

More than one thing can be true. This idea lets us embrace a variety of emotions and experiences without rushing to judge.

The biggest influences in my life are the women who came before me and paved the way, many of whom have been recognized on this very list.

Sometimes I feel like I need to go harder, like I’m not doing enough. Other times I feel like I’m doing too much and need to prioritize rest

By advocating for and working towards greater accessibility and awareness of mental health services, I hope to contribute to a community where everyone can receive the support they need to heal, thrive emotionally, and lead fulfilling lives. 

What makes me feel proud is when I can see lives transformed. I feel proud when I can encourage someone to be better than they were yesterday.

This obstacle has been my greatest teacher, shaping my purpose and fueling my unwavering commitment to making the world a better place for families like ours. 

Navigating the complexities of running a business can be daunting, but I hope to approach these challenges with greater assurance and strategic insight. 

I believe helping others recognize ways they can improve their health and promote wellness in their families will be beneficial now and for future generations. 

Maybe it is the incredible circle of people I am ever surrounded with that make the obstacles seem not so great or unbearable. 

My heart is to point others toward Jesus as the source of all comfort, but I also want to provide tools that help others cope with the worries and stresses of life. 

I am sure I’ll be much smarter because I learn something new every day, so there’s nowhere to go but up!
