I believe in resilience because I’ve lived it.

I believe in change because I’ve survived it.

And I believe in the power of self-care because we can’t pour from an empty cup.

I’ve jumped from my burning home and lived to rebuild from nothing. I have 106 miles left to go to complete the entire 2,189.2-mile Appalachian Trail. I’ve run marathons, navigated life-altering transitions, and helped others do the same.

Through it all, I’ve learned this: resilient, mindful change is always possible.
