Addiction touches countless lives, yet too many people still carry the weight of stigma in silence. By creating space for honest conversations, education, and support, we can help individuals and families find hope, healing, and a path forward.

It was an honor to speak at the Drug Education Council’s fundraising luncheon in Mobile alongside more than 700 people who showed up in support of a mission that impacts so many individuals, families, and communities.

As someone who has experienced the devastating effects of addiction firsthand, I know how important education, prevention, and open conversations are in breaking cycles and creating hope for the next generation.

A special thank you to Virginia Guy and the Mobile community for their leadership, passion, support, and unwavering commitment to this work. The impact of the Drug Education Council reaches far beyond a single event, and I’m grateful to have been part of a day dedicated to awareness, action, and hope.

Together, we keep showing up. Together, we keep making a difference. 💙

Fear doesn't disappear when you stuff it down. It just follows you. For years I was dragging that weight behind me without even realizing it. Then my therapist offered a visual I haven't been able to shake. What if instead of fighting your fear, you just let it sit beside you? Not to fix it. Not to fight it. But to acknowledge it. To say: "Okay, you're here. Tell me why." Because I used to want to get on that plane and chase the next thing. Stay busy, go full speed. But now? I can't wait to land. I want to be here, present in this season, in this beautifully imperfect life. Even if it's messy. Even if it's scary. Even if fear is still sitting right next to me. Heroes feel fear and keep going. It's not about being fearless, it's about choosing to move forward even when fear whispers the worst. That's courage. That's what makes us shatterproof.

I had the opportunity to go back home a couple of months ago and pour into some of the most driven women I've ever been in a room with. Speaking at the Montgomery Chamber of Commerce Women's Business Leadership Conference was a full circle moment. There's nothing quite like serving the city that made you. Much love y'all!

I can't believe it's almost been a year since I stood on a river in Idaho with no idea what I was doing, and somehow found exactly what I needed. On River Time is an incredible organization that uses fly fishing and the outdoors to serve children who've faced abuse, neglect, and abandonment. That week, we shared the river with kids from Big Oak Ranch. Watching their gratitude, their honesty, their strength - it was a humbling lesson on what happens when you turn your pain into perspective. On our final night, each camper recognized someone who had impacted them on the trip. That room was filled with so much humility and love I could barely hold it together. Here's what I came home with: painful chapters leave scars. But if we're willing to look closely at what those chapters taught us, we find depth, meaning, and the capacity to love others through their pain too. That's the gift of perspective.

Every girl deserves someone who shows up for her. Grace House Ministries has been doing exactly that for 32 years - faithfully, consistently, and with so much heart. With over 2,500 girls entering foster care in Alabama every year, the work they do is not just important, it's necessary. I was deeply honored to emcee the Fostering Compassion Lunch and celebrate a mission that is truly changing lives. This is what love in action looks like.🤍

Some rooms just stay with you. So honored to speak at the Blue Door Gala for Prescott House Child Advocacy Center, an organization fighting for children who have experienced abuse and neglect in Jefferson County. The work they're doing to restore hope to these children is changing lives! Go show them some love!
