First and foremost, I'm a wife and a mother.

I believe in equality, inclusion, and leading with love. My faith is the foundation of everything I do, and if there's one thing you'll learn about me, it's this: I only have one mode—honest. I'm also an artist. I love painting landscapes, but pet portraits have my whole heart. I love laughing with my family, and my heart is big enough for everyone. Sometimes that honesty comes with encouragement. Sometimes it comes with uncomfortable conversations. But it always comes from a place of wanting the absolute best for the women I serve.

Now...onto the weird part of my story.

For the better part of the last fifteen years, I spent my time problem solving in a space that unlocked a part of my brain that had been wildly underutilized. I was an electro-mechanical technician, spending my days repairing ATMs in a predominantly male industry with guys who had about twice as much life experience as I did. If you had told twenty-year-old me that I'd someday know the inside of an ATM better than my own purse, I would've laughed.

At the time, I had no idea what that career was really teaching me. It wasn't just teaching me how to fix machines—it was teaching me how to think. I had a gift. I could look past the loud, obnoxious problem screaming for attention and see the quiet little root cause hiding underneath it. Things that seemed so obvious to me completely stumped my coworkers, and before long my phone rang constantly. Congratulations...I had accidentally become everyone's unofficial support tech.

There was just one problem.

I wasn't fulfilled.

In fact, I wasn't even remotely challenged anymore. So I literally got my dirty hands to work and started asking myself one question:

"What problems need my solving?"

And then GLP-1 happened.

Well...more accurately, years of struggling with my weight happened first.

My entire life had been one giant cycle of gaining, losing, starting, stopping...doing great until I wasn't. Sound familiar?

This time, I decided I wasn't just going to lose weight. I was going to figure out why I kept finding it again.

So I did what I know how to do best. I researched. I experimented. I tested. I failed. I adjusted. Basically, I turned myself into one giant strategy experiment.

Then something weird happened.

About two years later, I realized I had completely forgotten about weight. Not because I had given up—but because it wasn't consuming me anymore. I wasn't counting calories. I wasn't stepping on the scale every morning hoping it would finally validate my existence. I wasn't obsessing over my next meal. I wasn't exercising like someone was paying me by the burpee.

I was just...living.

And honestly?

I felt incredibly beautiful.

Now here's the funny part. Most people would've celebrated and moved on.

Not me.

My brain immediately went, "Hold on...why did that work?"

Because I knew there had to be a root cause. Freedom doesn't just accidentally happen.

So I went back to work. I pulled apart every habit, every belief, every mindset shift, every strategy, every success, every failure, and every breakthrough until all of the puzzle pieces fit together.

That's how The Injection Exit Strategy was born.

Today, I help women who are terrified of coming off GLP-1 stop relying on hope and start relying on strategy. Because I don't believe your medication failed you, and I definitely don't believe your body failed you. I think there's a root cause that's been quietly running the show all along.

That's the problem I solve.

What I've created is too powerful to keep to myself because I know what it feels like to spend years believing you're the problem.

You're not.

The strategy probably was.

Every woman deserves to know what it feels like to stop obsessing over food, trust herself again, and build a future where weight no longer gets to make the rules.

Thank you for letting me be part of your journey. I can't wait to help you solve the problem beneath the problem.
