My Addiction

My constant need to stalk my child wasn’t due to codependency—it was pure fear.
I believed it was my maternal duty to keep him alive.

Most of my days—and many nights—were spent ringing his phone over and over. If he didn’t answer, I would drive through dark, unfamiliar neighborhoods searching for him. It was physically and emotionally exhausting. And it felt justified.

What I didn’t realize then was that I had become addicted to the chaos, the fear, the false sense of control.

I had lost myself.

But That Wasn't the End

That chapter cracked me open.
It was the beginning of a deeper story—the one where I finally started coming home to myself.

Today, I help other women do the same.

As a certified coach and intuitive guide, I support women who are ready to break generational cycles, reclaim their voice, and stop abandoning themselves for the sake of everyone else.

Because survival isn’t the goal.
Reinvention is.
