Behind the Smile

---

There I was, sitting alone on an air mattress in my apartment, tears streaming down my face. A lonely divorcée, barely scraping by to pay bills, estranged from my parents, and battling an autoimmune disease. I felt utterly lost and defeated, with no hope in sight.

Fast-forward 13 years, and I’d clawed my way out of that dark place. Life seemed fine—until another disheartening medical diagnosis hit me.

As I reflected on how I’d face this new challenge, something clicked. I realized one thing had consistently helped me endure and grow (not just ‘go’) through life’s challenges: setting boundaries. But these weren’t just boundaries with others—they were boundaries with myself. 

Over the past two decades, I’ve learned to set internal boundaries with the “old me,” the version of myself clinging to outdated mindsets, habits, and standards—the identity that no longer served who I needed to become to rise above life’s challenges.

This realization was the plot twist in my story. Setting internal boundaries—around what I believed about myself, how I spoke to myself, and how I treated myself—became just as important as setting them with people who still expected me to be that sick, broken version of myself.

This practice transformed my life. Within three weeks of setting my intentions, I attracted the love of my life. I doubled my income, reconnected with my family, removed toxic friendships, and experienced emotional—and eventually physical—healing I never thought possible. And when life threw me another curveball, I did it all over again.

With this clarity and success, I now empower women to rewrite their own stories. My mission is simple: to uplift and empower 1 million women by 2026, helping them release their past, thrive through challenges, and embrace a future built on growth and boundaries. My goal is to accelerate their breakthroughs so they see results in weeks—not months or years.

Join me—define your boundaries and redefine yourself!
