In Part 10 of The Rise Series, I’m reflecting on some of the biggest lessons I’ve learned over the last decade through marriage, business, friendship, motherhood, and personal growth. I share what it looked like to build a new life with Craig, start a business from scratch, push through years of setbacks, and keep going when growth felt painfully slow. I also open up about the Soul Writing breakthrough that changed the direction of our business, the 30 Day Challenge, and the mindset shift that helped me stop seeing every setback as failure and start treating life and business more like a game I could learn to play.
I also go deeper into friendship wounds, betrayal, boundaries, repeating patterns, and the internal healing work that helped me stop recreating the same experiences. This episode is about recognizing the stories and patterns that keep showing up, rewriting them from a more healed place, and learning to trust yourself enough to pivot when something no longer feels aligned. If you’ve been navigating business challenges, relationship patterns, friendship wounds, or a season of personal reinvention, I hope this episode reminds you that your hardest experiences can still carry gifts, growth, and direction.

In Part 9 of The Rise Series, I’m sharing what it looked like to learn how to trust again after divorce, heartbreak, and betrayal. I open up about the early days of my relationship with Craig, the moment my daughters began trusting him, and the practices that helped us build a strong foundation through honest communication, vulnerability, and consistency. I also share how old wounds around money and safety showed up for both of us, and how we learned to work through those triggers instead of letting them pull us apart.
This episode is also about the beginning of a completely new life. I share our intimate wedding in Aspen, what it was like for Craig to step into being a new dad, and how we began building a family and a business at the same time. If you’ve ever wondered how to trust again after being hurt, how to create safety in a new relationship, or how to build a partnership rooted in honesty, communication, and shared purpose, I hope this episode reminds you that trust can be rebuilt one conversation, one choice, and one act of consistency at a time.

In Part 8 of The Rise Series, I’m sharing what the beginning of rebuilding actually looked like after divorce, financial loss, isolation, and starting over as a single mom. I open up about the season when I felt completely alone, how that isolation eventually became a gift, and the small practices that helped me shift my mindset, including affirmations, movement, mantras, simple nutrition, and learning to listen to my intuition again.
I also share the unexpected nudge that led me to search for someone in the fitness world, meet Craig in Vail, and take a leap on an idea when I had very little money and no clear roadmap. What started as a business connection slowly became something much more, and I began learning what it felt like to trust again after divorce. If you’re rebuilding your life, starting over, or wondering whether your hardest season can become the beginning of something new, I hope this episode reminds you that your rise can begin with one small choice at a time.

In Part 7 of The Rise Series, I’m continuing the raw truth of what divorce looked like for me when everything started unraveling. I share the moment my cards were declined at the grocery store, the shock of discovering multiple bank accounts had been drained, and what it felt like to suddenly realize I had to figure out how to provide for my daughters with almost nothing. I also open up about the lies being spread about me, why I stayed quiet for so long, and what finally pushed me to use my voice.
This episode is also about what came next: finding support, asking for help, facing the hard truths I wish I had known sooner, and rebuilding after losing almost everything. I share the biggest lessons divorce taught me about financial awareness, self-trust, intuition, shame, resilience, and starting over. If you’re navigating divorce, betrayal, financial hardship, or a season where your life feels like it has fallen apart, I hope this reminds you that you can rebuild, you can find your strength again, and this chapter does not have to define your future.

In Part 6 of The Rise Series, I’m sharing one of the most vulnerable chapters of my story: the truth about my divorce and the intuition I ignored for years. I open up about what I believed marriage was supposed to look like, why leaving felt impossible, and how I slowly began realizing that I could no longer keep abandoning myself. I also share how communication, self-love, and trusting your inner knowing became central to the way I see relationships today.
I also take you inside the therapy sessions that changed everything, including the unexpected warning that pushed me to finally understand my finances and pay attention to what was really happening. What I discovered became a major wake-up call around financial awareness, self-trust, difficult relationships, and the importance of advocating for yourself. If you’re navigating a hard relationship, separation, or divorce, I hope this episode helps you feel less alone and reminds you that facing the truth can be the beginning of your rise.

In Part 5 of The Rise Series, I share how one of the most unexpected challenges of my life became a turning point in rebuilding my confidence and learning to trust myself again. I had never worn a bikini, never walked in high heels, and I was struggling financially, but I still felt called to enter the World’s Bikini Competition. What started as a fitness goal quickly became a deeper journey of shedding old beliefs about my body, femininity, validation, and what I thought I was allowed to do.
I also share how meeting Stephanie helped me feel less alone in the grief of losing my son, what it felt like to step onto the stage in Toronto and place in the top 10, and how following the call to Bali became part of my healing. These experiences helped me see that I could do hard things, trust my intuition, and follow through on what I felt called to do. That growing self-trust eventually led me to face the truth about my marriage and begin considering divorce.

In Part 4 of The Rise Series, I continue sharing my journey of rebuilding self-trust and learning to listen to my intuition after years of overriding what I knew deep inside. I open up about my unexpected high-risk pregnancy, the gut feeling that something wasn’t right, and the decision to seek a second opinion when I was told everything looked okay. That experience became a powerful turning point in trusting my body, honoring my inner wisdom, and realizing that even when an authority figure disagrees, we still have permission to listen to ourselves.
I also share a frightening experience from my early 20s that taught me just how powerful our instincts can be, and how those moments helped me reclaim my voice and personal power. From there, a new chapter begins as I move to a new town, grow more confident in my career, and decide to enter a bikini competition despite everything I had been taught about modesty, my body, and self-expression. This episode is about trusting your intuition, overcoming fear, rebuilding confidence, and having the courage to become a version of yourself you may have never imagined.

In Part 3 of The Rise Series, I share what happened after losing my son Hap and the grief, depression, and self-abandonment that followed. I talk about coming home from the hospital without my baby, sitting through a dinner where everyone acted as if nothing had happened, and how deeply that moment showed me the ways I had learned to silence my own needs. I also open up about hitting rock bottom, struggling with depression, and the beginning of a powerful awakening where I started questioning the beliefs, relationships, and patterns I had spent years trying to fit into.
Then something happened that I could only understand as a miracle. My daughter began talking about Hap as if he were still near and telling people I was going to have another baby. Months after losing him, I discovered I was pregnant again, with a due date on the exact date Hap had passed. This chapter is about grief, motherhood, faith, intuition, healing trauma, and learning to trust the deeper knowing within you, even when life feels uncertain.

In Part 2 of The Rise Series, I continue sharing the raw story of my life and the moments that taught me just how deeply the body and intuition can speak. I open up about my wedding day, the signs I ignored, the fear and disconnection I felt in my marriage, becoming a mother, and the pressure of working while trying to hold everything together. I also share the moment during my second pregnancy when I knew something was wrong, but had become so used to shutting down my inner knowing that I talked myself out of listening.
This episode is about grief, motherhood, intuition, loss, and the spiritual experiences that can meet us in our hardest moments. I share the hospital experience surrounding the loss of my son Hap, the peace I felt in the middle of devastation, and what it was like to hold him, say goodbye, and drive home to an empty car seat. My hope in sharing this is that you begin to trust the wisdom of your body, honor the nudges within you, and recognize how even the most painful chapters can shape the person you are becoming.

Have you ever looked back and realized how early you learned to question your own intuition? In Part 1 of The Rise Series, I’m sharing the beginning of my story, from growing up in Idaho and being raised in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to the experiences that shaped my relationship with faith, belonging, love, and self-trust. I open up about the expectations I felt as a young girl, the questions I learned to push down, my first experience with love and devastating loss, and the patterns that slowly taught me to abandon what I felt inside.
I also share the story of meeting a love that felt deeply aligned, walking away from that relationship because of religion, and eventually moving toward a marriage even as my body and intuition were telling me something wasn’t right. This series is about telling the raw truth, healing through our stories, rebuilding self-trust, and recognizing the moments when we choose acceptance over authenticity. My hope is that somewhere inside my story, you begin to recognize your own and remember that it is never too late to reclaim your voice and rise.
