Altruism is often defined as selfless concern for the well-being of others—doing good without expecting anything in return. But for me, it’s not just a concept; it’s a way of life. I don’t always think about my actions in terms of “altruism,” but when I reflect on my journey, I realize that selflessness is woven into everything I do.

Fighting for My Children

There is no greater act of love than fighting for those who can’t fight for themselves. My battle to reunite with my son, Jackson, and protect all my children from harm isn’t just about my rights as a mother—it’s about their right to be safe, loved, and heard. Even when the legal system feels unfair, even when I’m exhausted, I push forward because their well-being matters more than my own comfort.

Parental alienation is one of the cruelest forms of emotional abuse, and I’ve experienced firsthand how damaging it can be. But instead of letting it break me, I use my struggle as fuel. I research, I advocate, and I share my journey so that others in similar situations don’t feel alone.

Turning Pain into Purpose

For a long time, I was stuck in survival mode—navigating a system I didn’t understand while trying to keep my head above water. But through it all, I’ve learned that my pain has a purpose. That’s why I’ve started blogging about parental alienation and why I’m working on launching a consulting business for single parents who can’t afford legal help. If my experiences can help another parent protect their child or find the strength to keep fighting, then none of this was in vain.

Showing Up for Others

Altruism isn’t always about grand gestures. Sometimes, it’s about the little things—checking in on a friend who’s struggling, expressing gratitude to those who have supported me, or simply being there when someone needs a listening ear.

Recently, I met someone who has already made a huge impact on my life—Dre. His kindness and support have reminded me that good people exist, and I want to be that kind of person for others, too. Whether it’s my friends, my family, or even strangers in need, I believe in showing up.

Choosing Resilience Over Bitterness

I’ve had every reason to become bitter. I’ve been abused, betrayed, and taken to court more times than I can count. But instead of letting those experiences define me, I choose resilience. I choose to smile in the face of my enemies, not because I’m weak, but because I refuse to let them break me.

And that’s what altruism is, too. It’s choosing love over hate, even when it’s easier to be angry. It’s fighting for justice, even when the odds are stacked against you. It’s believing that kindness still matters, even in a world that often feels cruel.

Building Something Bigger Than Myself

Every business idea I have, every project I take on, is about more than just making money. Whether it’s Zeus Plus or my future consulting service, I want to create things that truly help people—whether that’s improving relationships, boosting confidence, or giving parents the tools they need to navigate a broken system.

I may not always see the impact of my actions right away, but I know that the energy we put into the world matters. If I can make even a small difference in someone’s life, then I’m doing something right.

An Invitation to You

If you’re struggling—whether it’s with parental alienation, self-doubt, or just feeling like the world is against you—I see you. I know what it’s like to feel alone in the fight. But I also know that we are stronger than we realize.

Let’s build each other up. Let’s choose kindness, even when it’s hard. Let’s live altruistically—not because we expect anything in return, but because the world needs more people willing to love, fight, and stand up for what’s right.

Because at the end of the day, the legacy we leave isn’t about what we have—it’s about how we made people feel.
