About Me

I’m a mom, a wife, and a writer. After years of running into a wall, I realized I can’t do the 9-5 and still feel alive, so I decided to take a different path. On that path, I’ve struggled with finances and failures, but also reached significant heights personally and professionally.  

I know I’m not alone, so I wanted to share my experiences as an older mom, along with freelance and self-publishing tips and resources for moms who want to try it themselves. I love the idea of being a fairy godmother and giving people the tools to make their dreams come true.  

Who Am I Anyway?  

Let’s see, I grew up in a small town that I couldn’t wait to get out of, and now I’m back in the same neighborhood where I grew up. Is this a failure? I want to say not.  

When I was younger, I wanted to be a Broadway star, a politician, and a famous author. Today, I’ve experienced enough of each, and I’m happy just being me.   

I moved to New York, traveled the country as an actress, graduated college with a Political Science degree, became a freelance writer, and self-published my first children’s book. Between those bigger moments, I worked as a fundraiser for small nonprofits, met and fell in love with the man of my dreams, and gave birth to a beautiful and strong-willed daughter in my 40s.  

I’ve lived an extraordinarily ordinary life and wouldn’t do it any differently. What I want to do now is inspire others to reach for their dreams so they can realize they are where they are meant to be.
