1. Please tell us something about yourself.
I dearly love to read. During the filming of Big Rich Texas, we had hours of “Hurry Up and Wait Time,” at which time I spent reading.
2. How did you get into what you do right now? Please tell us more about your journey?
Watching the decline of my beloved Step-Father, I felt it was my calling to share his story with others.
3. Please tell us about what you do.
In addition to being an author, I am a certified Life, Wellness, and Stress Management Coach. Many of my clients are either Dementia caretakers, family, or friends of a person with Dementia. I help them by allowing them to share their experiences, and I guide them towards ways to cope.
When I decided to write Daughters Of Dementia, I simply dove right in. I write a stream of conscientiousness first and then edit after.
4. What keeps you going when things get tough?
It’s okay to have a good cry. We can’t all be tough every minute. Cry it out and then think about moving forward.
5. How can people connect with you?
They can connect through Website, Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook.
