About Me

Crown Jewels Life Coaching was birthed out of my own experience with depression. There was a time in my life when the word 'boundary' was a foreign language and I was caring for everyone else but myself. I was too busy trying to be the best mother, partner, daughter, auntie, sister, and friend I could be and found myself extremely overwhelmed and depressed.

One thing about self love and mental health struggles is that it discriminates against no one. And of course, I thought I had done all of the “right things” at the “right times” in my life. So how could I have possibly ended up in this place? I was physically, mentally, and spiritually exhausted and in desperate need of a change in circumstance.

It took me some time, but I finally made the decision to embark on my own healing journey. With the help of a therapist, I did the work of uncovering what was really going on with me. One of the first things I discovered, was that I had taken on this unsolicited role of being the fixer. Due to the trauma of my own life, I felt this need to constantly fill the void of someone else’s absence and it was literally depleting me. This is when the self love light bulb really came on for me because the only way to avoid being depleted, was to start filling up my cup!

I started slowly, giving myself permission to rest and just take care of me. This step lead to setting proper boundaries because there was no way I could both tend to what I needed while allowing others to overstep. Before I knew it, I was setting the tone for how I wanted to be treated (by starting with how I treated myself) and the people in my life had no choice but to get right or get left!  

Now please don’t let the cliff notes version of my story lead you to believe that I think the work of healing can be summed up in a few short paragraphs. Healing is hard. Healing is tiresome. Healing is down right ugly, but it is in that ugliness that I can help you thrive. Together we can uncover your life, layer by layer, to understand how your thoughts and experiences have shaped your current reality and what you can do to change that.

 My hope is that everyone I reach becomes full of their SELF, because one can not pour from an empty cup. 

So let’s fill you up..... and let the self love runneth over!
