Last year, before entering a hospital in Moab for pneumonia, I assumed I would die. I was wrong.

Instead, it transformed my relationship with the world and deepened my purpose: Empowering families to create conditions that inspire multiple productive conversations about addiction in the family.

Isn’t it amazing how our purpose becomes clear (oftentimes, born from adversity?)

Absolutely!! I have been doing this work for close to a decade, but after the experience in the hospital, everything changed… For the better😊
