I met my husband Jeremy when I was 15. I asked him to marry me when I was 16, and he said no! 🤯 When I was 17, he asked me to marry HIM (hey, the fortune is in the follow up, right?! 😆). We got married when I was 17.5, right after he completed boot camp & combat training as a United States Marine.
After we were married, we moved from Texas to Camp Pendleton and he served in the Marines for several years before transitioning to corporate America in the IT industry.
We have been married for 31 years and have two amazing adult kids together.
I have been in the direct sales industry since 1999.
When I first started, I did home parties. I was also a total introvert that was majorly afraid of speaking in front of crowds. I dabbled for my first several years, not really taking my business seriously - partly because I was scared, and partly because I didn't need to.
Until I did. I actually used FOOD STAMPS to host a re-launch party during one of the lowest points of our life financially.
I ditched the queue cards I brought to my events, decided to just show up and be my authentic self focused on helping others shop for what they want, and see what happens. And it worked. My customers had fun, I had fun (and I didn't die)! After that, I saw the potential in social selling and the fire was lit!
After earning trips, trophies, and awards, I also spent about 10 years with the corporate side of the profession. To say that I've seen the guts of the profession would be a total understatement. 😂
When social media became mainstream, I leveraged that skill in selling with authenticity over to social selling, and haven't looked back since. Connecting with TONS of people, from wherever you have internet, to help them and make friends all over the world? In comfy clothes? This is the way. I was out-earning my husband with far more time-freedom, so he retired from corporate America in 2016 at the age of 42, just a short 5 months after I joined my current network marketing company. However, I continued my remote-career as President of a global networking organization for female entrepreneurs called the Heart Link Women's Network. I was also a full time copywriter, social media manager, and integral part of the digital marketing team behind prominent brands such as Ziglar Inc., Les Brown, and others.
Although they were both "work-from-home" roles, I was able to retire from both a couple of years later to focus on my network marketing business.
I love teaching and training women in network marketing how to make money using social media without losing authenticity, heart, or sacrificing their priorities.
I believe that using social media to sell things can be FUN and SIMPLE.
You can have HEART and HUSTLE.
Empowering you to level up your social media to get more time freedom to do what you love while keeping your family first is my superpower. 🦄🪩
Currently, I am a trainer, speaker (in-person & virtual), and published author. I am also the social media coach for a high level inner circle mastermind (led by the founder of the Digital Marketing Agency behind Ziglar, etc that I used to work for full time).
Since we're in our empty nester era and enjoy the time freedom that an online business allows (and with the help of some incredibly effective supplements) we lost 100 pounds together.
Because of the location-freedom too, in 2020 we got rid of 99% of our belongings, sold our house, bought an Airstream, and hit the road! We traveled full time all around the USA until we bought our little mini farm in 2025!
We often times travel with Loki, our 13 year old mini dachshund and when the weather is nice we all enjoy hiking!
When we're not traveling by plane or Airstream... we're at home in our bougie little mini-farm in South Carolina learning how to raise animals, homestead, and grow our own produce (we're total newbies & I document all the things in my FB and IG stories, but don't follow me for advice on that, ok? 😆)
I'm glad you're here.🫶🏻 👩🏻🦰
