My Story – My Call to Action
Certified Life Coach
I know firsthand what if feels like to have your world change in an instant. In 2015, the Saturday before Father’s Day, I put my hand on my chest and I felt a lump. The lump was not small. It was obvious that something was wrong. After going to a breast specialist and radiologist I received a diagnosis of Triple Negative Breast Cancer and that I carried the BRCA 2 gene.
From 2015 to 2020, while caring for my elderly mother, I underwent chemotherapy and five surgeries in eight months, including a double mastectomy and a hysterectomy. The reality of never having biological children hit hard. I’m adopted and I always wanted to have a child that looked like me. I lost my hair and gained weight. I experienced anxiety, shortness of breath, joint pain, a change in my eyesight, and constant exhaustion, among other ailments, issues, and disappointments. I did not feel attractive, I did not feel like myself and I didn’t recognize myself.
In January 2016, I completed chemotherapy and I was able to “ring the bell” at MD Anderson Medical Center, celebrating the accomplishment of completing chemotherapy. All I remember feeling was, “but now how do I live?” After the trauma of a cancer diagnosis, life changes and disappointments, how do I live? I knew I could not be the only one feeling this way… not having the tools to live my “new normal,” to truly live after cancer. My purpose is to help you live! I want to remind the world that there is life after cancer.

What people are saying about my book
I just got my book and I read the first chapter so far. And I have to tell you that you can tell this book is coming from a genuine space! And, I love the love story Ray Janeen contributed on how she met her biological mother. They both understood the “divine appointment “ God has set before them! It was destiny for them to meet. And, did I mention that this is just a piece of the first chapter ? All I can say is “Wow!” Definitely a page turner! #bookstagram #
This was an amazing book about an amazing life. It was not focused on someone’s trials and tribulations but instead the divine connections and relationships that were established and touched through everything she had experienced. I loved that she took you through some of the storms in her life and not only made you feel like you were right there with her but also gave resources and explanations for many of the things she went through. There were so many situations in this book that you may have experienced or identified with – it was relatable to anyone’s life. The positivity with which she overcame each trial was a testament to faith and always leaning on God. I encourage you to sew into you and purchase this book
