I’m a business writer by day, but I’m a creative writer and podcast host at heart. I write poetry and inspirational stories and then mix them with music and positive vibes. Why? Because I’m called to do it. After my mom’s illness, I had to admit to myself that I wasn’t living my best life. I was standing on the sidelines, afraid to express myself, afraid to let my creative voice come out.
My mom's health continued to decline, and I was in crisis mode for over a year. During that time, I instinctively started writing poetry while waiting around in hospitals. Writing was my way out of the sadness, and I began to see a pattern in my poetry. There were little glimpses of hope. Even the dark poems I wrote seemed to end with a bright or positive message. Those small positive feelings grew, and this passion project was born. A more authentic way of living began to manifest as I turned my struggles into strength.
Now I'm sharing what I've learned, and showcasing the power of creativity to help reduce caregiver stress, add purpose and meaning to our lives, find more joyful moments, and build positive personal growth habits. Join me as we come together in this community to turn struggle into strength.
