About five years ago, I became a changed person. After a lifetime of depression, I was finally free—depression-free—and for the first time, I could truly see. I could see life, my mindset, and the patterns I had struggled to hold onto before. Everything felt clearer, lighter, like someone had opened a window in a stuffy room.

As I settled into this new mental freedom, I started having thoughts—gentle, almost imperceptible ideas—about sharing it with others. At first, it was barely noticeable, like a tiny hair brushing against my cheek. I kept brushing it away. It started as a quiet desire: to do something, to contribute somehow to my family or to the world around me. But that little tickle soon turned into something harder to ignore—like an annoying fly buzzing around my head. I wanted to smack it, squash it, silence it.
Who was I to think I could help anyone?
I could barely help myself. The idea of being a mentor or workshop facilitator felt like it belonged to someone else—someone more qualified, more confident. Not me.

But eventually, I let those persistent ideas stay long enough to consider: maybe I could share my journey. Maybe I could help others on their own path to healing and growth. It didn’t happen overnight—it took years of baby steps and bravery. But eventually, I taught my first vision board workshop. It was small, but powerful. It taught me valuable lessons and sparked a hunger in me to do more. Vision boards were just the beginning.

With my heart open and my radar tuned, I found myself led to Leslie Householder’s Genius Bootcamp. It felt like the next natural step—deeper, richer, and more expansive than anything I’d done before. It opened my eyes to a whole new level of possibility.

Now, I’m walking through her mentor training course, on my way to becoming a certified Genius Bootcamp and Mindset Mastery facilitator. I'm standing at the edge of something I once only saw in shadows. What started as a whisper, a nuisance, a dream too far away to claim—has now become real.

Everything is falling into place. It’s all happening at exactly the right time.
Because everything, even dreams, has a gestation period.
And mine is just about ready to be born.
