I’ve been reflecting a lot lately about how life seems to be this unpredictable journey full of ups and downs, and sometimes, we find ourselves in the deepest valleys. But in those moments, it’s easy to forget that resilience is something we all have within us. For me, my life’s journey has been one of growth, hardship, and strength, all wrapped up in a beautifully messy package that I call “A Beautiful Disaster.”

It’s a term I’ve used to describe my life for years now, because that’s exactly how it feels—an unpolished story of survival, triumph, and the will to keep going despite the obstacles that have been thrown my way. Every scar, every challenge, and every setback has led me to this point: a woman who is fiercely determined, deeply compassionate, and unbreakable despite it all.

I’ve often found myself questioning how I ended up here, dealing with the things I never imagined would define my life. The past few years have tested me in ways I never anticipated. From navigating the depths of abuse and trauma, battling for custody of my children, to struggling with the complex emotions that come with co-parenting with someone who has continuously tried to manipulate and control every aspect of my life—it hasn’t been easy. And yet, I stand here today, stronger than I was yesterday.

One of the things that keeps me going is the love I have for my children. Isabella, Jackson, and Brantley—they are my everything. As a mother, I’ve seen firsthand the power of parental alienation, and how it can tear a family apart. But it’s also shown me the importance of speaking out and helping others in similar situations. That’s why I’ve found solace in sharing my story, hoping that it might offer comfort or support to another parent going through the same battle.

Despite everything, I’ve come to realize that life isn’t about avoiding the struggles, but about how we rise above them. Every day I wake up and choose to keep fighting. I fight for my children, for my future, and for the chance to turn all the pain into something meaningful. In the midst of the chaos, I’ve found new strength. I’m learning to embrace the messiness of life, finding beauty in the broken pieces and creating something beautiful from them.

It’s not always easy, and I have moments where I feel completely alone, but I’m learning to trust the process. I’ve built a new sense of purpose for myself, whether it’s through sharing my story, building my business, or helping other parents in need. There’s something powerful about turning pain into purpose, and I feel that every step I take toward healing is a step toward a brighter future for myself and my kids.

I’ve made a commitment to stay true to who I am, no matter how many times I’ve been knocked down. Life has tried to break me, but instead, it has molded me into someone stronger. And every single day, I am becoming more resilient. I am learning to embrace the beauty of this disaster that is my life, because it has made me who I am today.

So if you’re reading this and you’re struggling, know that you’re not alone. Life may feel like a beautiful disaster right now, but I promise you, there’s so much beauty in the process of picking up the pieces. Keep fighting. Keep moving forward. And above all, keep believing in the strength that resides within you.

Together, we can turn our beautiful disasters into something incredible.
