See how I turned
I was a caring and ambitious pastor
who felt healthy, wealthy, and sexy
(if I do so say so myself).
But deep down I wasn’t happy.
And I couldn’t figure out why.
On paper my life looked good. I had an admirable job. Professional recognition. A busy social life. My social media accounts were filled with pictures of events, travel and achievements. People would tell me I had it all, but secretly I thought “if only you knew”. I had a crippling lack of self-esteem and had used food, sex and alcohol to numb myself for years.
I want you to know that you are worth love,
and you always have been!
It took 20 years for me to make peace with my weight and even longer to prioritize my own self love.
I had to learn that saying yes to myself didn’t mean I was saying no to anyone else or pushing people away.
I don’t want it to take that long for you.
The stakes are too high, and you’ve lost enough time already.
If everyone says you should love your life, but you can’t see what’s to love,
we need to talk.

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME
A few more things that you might find interesting about me…
I am a former pastor.
Can you ever REALLY be a former pastor? I get that all the time. Well, yes and no. Most of my work infuses spiritual principles into everyday scenarios. I just don't use a pulpit or have a board of deacons to tell me I can't speak life into a pornstar or love into a prostitute.
I am a suicide survivor.
I am proud to say I survived my suicide attempt. My struggle with depression lasted for over 15 years until I finally began my recovery in my late twenties. I suffered with childhood obesity, so when I work with clients on issues around body image, self-esteem, food and self care – I REALLY get it. I also want to be sure you never get to the place I found myself in.
I've always been an enthusiastic over-achiever.

I love a gold star. Give me an A* over an A any day. I would weep with joy at a certificate or medal. When I wasn't being the clown to get attention, I was the teacher's pet. I’m a people pleaser, a perfectionist, and a Scorpio too. I’m effectively a classic ‘type A’ personality, I hold my hands up.
-
It kind of explains how I often found myself over delivering, over promising and over scrutinizing everything. I pushed myself constantly to reach the incredibly high expectations I had of myself – both personally and professionally. Burn-out, unhealthy diets, exhaustion, multiple plate spinning – it was all pretty much inevitable.
-
Now I channel my energy and perfectionism into delivering exceptional coaching and experiences for my clients and the self love practices I teach are all the things I used to heal myself and continue to use to this day.
I love to speak on stage.
I regularly share my story and speak about the importance of self love and healthy relationships. A personal highlight was speaking at National Urban League's Annual Conference for Young Professionals.
I believe in the power of experiences.
I am a creator and curator of experiences both professionally and personally. I believe that to truly transform you need to have the experience and that is why my coaching, retreats and workshops all have experiences at their heart.
I love helping people through my writing.
As a best-selling author, I have a number of books on finding purpose and love. As well as my own blog, I’m the lifestyle editor for Kontrol Magazine and a contributor for other publications like Sister 2 Sister Magazine.
