In 2020, as I turned 37, I found myself reflecting deeply on my past. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer at 36, and as I watched my own daughters, aged 14 and 10 at the time, I was transported back to my teenage years. The emotions and challenges from that season resurfaced, not only in memory but within my body. It was as if I could once again feel the chaos, fear, and isolation I experienced as a teen.

That awakening led me on a journey of introspection and healing. I hadn’t realised how delaying the process of working through emotions could echo so powerfully into adulthood, as it did for me.

After six years of in and out of remission, just before my 18th birthday, my mom passed away. Her strength and love left a lasting imprint on my heart and in my life.

The heartbeat of See Me Rise. See Me Thrive was born from mom's journey and my own experience as a once-lost, emotionally overwhelmed teen.

My mom’s battle with breast cancer brought immense uncertainty and emotional upheaval into our lives. Despite her courage, without the right tools and support, it was an uphill battle for both of us. As a teen, I often felt stuck and broken, silently navigating my inner chaos while pretending to be “fine."

Those experiences shaped my mission to empower you and your teen daughter to face challenges with faith, connection, and resilience. I’ve walked the path of emotional confusion and loss, and I know how vital it is to have strong support and open communication during times of illness and change.

Today, it’s my calling to help transform silent struggles into journeys of growth and connection. Together, we’ll ignite strength, nurture resilience, and rediscover hope, even in the hardest moments.
