2025 ... a whole new start

2024 was not the year for me. I have often said, 'This will be my year,' and those words would mean absolutely nothing. I broke my ankle in three places, dislocated it, and tore all the ligaments around it. I started New Year's in bed with a boot on my ankle with MRSA (an infection), which led to months of recovery, a PICC line, and a second surgery.


The year brought me pain, cancelation of plans and trips, sadness, financial stress, loss of a job, and immense uncertainty. I put all my energy toward renovating my house, going through most of my savings, selling my home, buying a new house, and starting over. My mind floods back to all the work and hardship I endured. And I did!


But the year ended with a new home, new friends, a rewirement (a break from working for the past 25 years), 35-pound weight loss, and true peace & happiness.


Throughout everything, I never lost sight of my positivity and determination to build new my journey in life. Not the life I thought I would have but would have but the life I truly need and want.

I paused from doing Herstories podcast recordings while I designed and decorated a new studio in my new home. I just finished the studio and am ready to publish new podcasts.


This year, I am excited for a whole new beginning. Thanks for your patience and continued support. You won't miss the 2025 Herstories! I have a great line-up of incredible guests coming your way.


Stay tuned!
