(Part of) My Story

Some of my deepest pain, trauma and grief was lived out very publicly for the world to see — my Beloved Champion, Kurt, and our story through unexpected cancer diagnosis prompted a movement we called #TeamKurt. People from all over the world came alongside us and committed to Be A Champion. I am grateful for the community that rallied around us during that time. The journey was not something I ever wished for or expected when I was young and in love, but it’s something I lived through that taught me so much about perseverance, purpose, grief, blessing and truly living.

The video below was filmed a few years ago, and shares more of my personal journey and our family’s story. I share it here to let others know that I deeply understand difficult roads. I know what it’s like to face the unexpected. I know how hard it is to walk through that, and I want to help others find their way.

“You have a purpose.

The pain and everything you’re going through isn’t wasted.

You can take your deepest pain and shape it into your most beautiful blessing.”
