MOM.WIFE. ENTREPRENEUR. SPECIAL NEEDS PARENT. ADVOCATE
Join me as I shift gears from fitness entrepreneur, former professional athlete to motherhood. I will share my raw, authentic, and unexpected journey as a mother. My new role as a mother is one I take with great pride and one that has opened my eyes to a newfound strength that I couldn’t have ever imagined. My daughter was born with Pfeiffer syndrome, a rare disease that fused her skull prematurely and caused structural abnormalities to her face and other body parts. She will have two skull surgeries and at least six surgeries in total in her first year of life. My shift to being a first-time mom and then one of a medically complex baby has been a rollercoaster but one that has brought me much joy. My daughter is a true blessings and she has already taught me so much in life that I cant wait to share with you.
Her arrival into this world has made me want to use my platform to advocate for those born with rare diseases, those from birth who have a long road ahead of them that many won't ever endure. I share my story and life to show others that living a life unexpected can still be beautiful. That what you think as your achilles heel can be the thing that catapults you into greatness.
I will touch on topics from motherhood, family, inclusion, empowerment, and accessibility for all. This is for those who are women, disabled, people of color, young girls, parents, allies, and more. I hope that you are inspired to be an ally, a stronger advocate and work to lift others and lead a life with love and compassion.
