I didn't set out to become a guide for healing or transformation. In fact, for a long time, I could barely find my footing. After the unraveling of a 25-year marriage, I found myself standing in a life I didn't recognize—and barely had the strength to rebuild. What I did have was a kitchen, a quiet hunger for peace, and a promise to myself that I wouldn't give up.

Cooking became more than a task—it became a way back to myself. Through prepping, seasoning, and plating, I discovered comfort, clarity, and moments of grace. I also began writing again—journaling, reflecting and eventuallly, sharing stories that led to this second cookbook.

As I healed, I realized that the ingredients required for transformation weren't just in the pantry—they were inside me all along. I discovered the tools I needed to reclaim my power, nourish myself and begin again.

This isn't just my story—it might be yours too. If you're standing in your own kitchen—emotionally or literally—wondering what's next, I want you to know you're not alone. I'm here to walk with you, help you gather the ingredients you already have, and begin again with intention and grace.

Today, I offer support, mentorship, and nourishment to anyone craving to reclaim their power—begin their own journey and live the life they're so deserving of—one meal, one step at a time.
