After surviving a stroke and a catastrophic accident, I’ve had to rebuild not just my body—but my nervous system, my thoughts, and my sense of safety in the world. At the very least, I dedicate 10 minutes each morning to anchoring my body in safety. From there, I’ve developed a simple 3-step daily reset that helps me move through fear, regulate my thoughts, and gently rewire how I relate to uncertainty, pain, and hope. This is not about perfection. It’s about returning to yourself, over and over again, especially after trauma. 1. Morning Safety Anchor (2 minutes) I place my hand on my heart and breathe: inhale for 4, hold for 2, exhale for 6. I say: “In this moment, I am safe.” This helps ground my nervous system and even supports calming phantom pain when it shows up. 2. Midday Thought Flip (30 seconds at a time) When fear starts to spiral into “what if” scenarios, I pause. Instead of feeding the fear, I answer it gently: “And if it happens, I’ll handle it.

There are two pivotal moments in my life that changed everything.
The first was when I had my stroke. I was lying on the ground, unable to move, and I prayed to God, “Please don’t leave me like this.” I had no idea how I was going to provide for myself. I’ve been an unmarried woman my entire life—not necessarily by choice, but because I never met the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. So I’ve always had to pay my own bills and take care of myself.
After my stroke, I was left with deep trauma and fear. It felt like my soul had disconnected—like I’d lost a piece of who I was, and I didn’t know how to get it back.
The second was the pandemic. It left a lot of fear in me. I had my stroke during the pandemic, and in a strange way, it was both a blessing and a curse. The world stopped—and that pause gave me the time I needed to heal.
In the beginning, I focused on my physical healing. I thought that was the most important thing. I needed to rebuild my strength, stamina, and endurance to continue my work as a photographer.
But after three years of fighting to get that strength back—and finally no longer feeling like I was dying—I faced a different kind of fear: the fear of uncertainty. Business had slowed. The economy shifted. The world changed. The trends I once relied on disappeared. Nothing felt predictable anymore.
So I made a decision: I’m done waiting. I’m taking things into my own hands. I’m creating my own trends. I’m building my own future.
But I also believe this: it’s everybody’s duty to get back in the game.
We’ve all been sitting on the sidelines, watching and waiting to see what’s going to happen next. But if we’re all watching, then nothing’s happening. Someone has to move. Someone has to lead. Someone has to stir the energy again.
You’ve got to go out and make things happen. You’ve got to contribute—not just to the economy, but to the energy of the universe. And you’ve got to do it with intention.
It is your duty—and your divine right—to claim what is yours.
Now, I’m passionate about helping other creatives like me. Other single women. Anyone who feels lost. Anyone who doesn’t know how they’re going to pay their bills or survive the next chapter.
