The Story That Rebuilt Me
A story of resilience, reinvention, and rebuilding from within—written for the woman ready to rise stronger.
Letter From The Author
I always wanted to write a book.
Not just to tell my story — but to reach the ones who are still silently carrying theirs.
For years, I didn’t know where to begin — or if I could share the sacred, broken parts of my life with the world.
But after surviving a SCAD heart attack in my 40s — when everything I thought I knew about strength and control was stripped away — I was called to stop hiding.
Torn Heart is the story I was always meant to tell.
And it’s for anyone who’s ever had to rebuild from the inside out.

Torn Heart
A Journey of Trauma, Truth, and Transformation
Torn Heart is a raw, poetic memoir about what it means to break — and to choose truth anyway.
It traces my journey from high-performing leader and lifelong athlete to heart survivor, truth-teller, and purpose-driven advocate.
Through chapters rooted in trauma, body image, motherhood, recovery, and reinvention, this book holds space for the ones who’ve lost themselves — and are ready to rise.
It’s not just about a heart attack. It’s about learning to listen to your body.
Learning to speak the truth.
Learning to begin again.
