Against All Odds: My Entrepreneurial Journey from Ashes to Abundance

In the second episode in The Upgrade series on Food Heals, I share the gripping and emotional story of how I almost lost everything - not once but twice - but ultimately emerged stronger than ever. After losing both of my parents to cancer and discovering that my father's estate was being mismanaged by a trusted family friend, I found myself on the brink of homelessness and financial ruin. Despite these overwhelming challenges, I was determined to rebuild my life.

With no safety net and fueled by a mission to honor my parents' legacies, I launched a video production company that thrived for 15 years. However, it was my passion for health and wellness that led me to start the Food Heals podcast, where I interviewed people who had healed themselves through alternative medicine and a plant-based diet. The podcast quickly gained popularity, allowing me to live a life aligned with my purpose.

Despite facing setbacks during the pandemic, including a painful divorce and the near collapse of my business, I pivoted once again. I began coaching others, writing a book, and embracing the digital nomad lifestyle. Through it all, I learned that self-belief and resilience are key to overcoming adversity and achieving success.

Join me on this incredible journey as I share the highs and lows of my entrepreneurial path, offering inspiration and practical advice for anyone looking to turn their own struggles into triumphs.

I’m also excited to announce the launch of something bigger and better than ever before:
