The Story That Changed Everything
Sometimes Life Forces Us To Stop. What Happens Next Is A Choice.
On October 15, 2025, my life changed in an instant.
Meadow, my 120-pound rescued Neapolitan Mastiff, and I were doing something we had done countless times before—playing tag in the yard.
One split second.
One accidental collision.
One tibial plateau fracture.
I was home alone.
The pain was immediate and intense.
It took nearly twenty minutes to crawl back into my house and up six stairs.
My phone sat on the kitchen counter completely out of reach.
I grabbed a broom hoping to pull myself up.
The broom snapped in half.
I called everyone I could think of.
No answer.
I could feel myself beginning to go into shock.
My husband finally called back while driving home. Moments later, my son called and told me not to wait.
Call 911.
The ambulance arrived.
The paramedics attempted to bring a stretcher, but there was no way I could tolerate lying flat. Instead, they carefully transported me in a chair.
What surprised everyone was that I never cried.
Not because I wasn’t in pain.
Because I was.
I was in so much pain that I knew I needed something bigger than pain itself.
So I did something I had taught for years.
I shifted my focus.
I closed my eyes and visualized standing in Antarctica.
So cold that I could no longer feel my leg.
And slowly, it happened.
By the time I arrived at the emergency room, I wasn’t screaming.
I wasn’t crying.
I wasn’t asking for medication.
I was observing.
Learning.
Testing.
Because this had become my teaching story.
Sometimes Life Gives Us A Test
For nearly two decades, I had guided women through difficult chapters of their lives.
Now it was my turn.
The physician confirmed the diagnosis.
A tibial plateau fracture.
The nurses repeatedly offered pain medication.
I respectfully declined.
Not because I am against modern medicine.
I am not.
Modern medicine saves lives every day.
But I wanted to discover something.
How much healing potential exists when the body, mind, spirit, community, and daily habits are fully supported?
Five days later, I met with an incredible orthopedic surgeon.
We discussed surgery.
Plates.
Screws.
Months of recovery.
Possible arthritis either way.
Together, we made the decision to pause surgery and monitor the fracture carefully through follow-up imaging.
Physical therapy was recommended.
Instead, I chose to create my own comprehensive wellness plan utilizing everything I had spent decades studying.
My Living Room Became My Recovery Center
My son found me a wheelchair.
A lift chair.
An adjustable bed.
Friends, family, and complete strangers stepped in exactly when I needed them.
My community became my lifeline.
And Meadow?
She never left my side.
Most days she was directly beside me.
Some days she was directly in my way.
But she was there.
Every single day.
The first forty-eight hours were brutal.
Simple things became major victories.
Getting to the bathroom.
Washing my hair.
Taking a bath out of the sink.
Funny how quickly life’s smallest blessings become its greatest luxuries.
Day after day, I followed my wellness routine with consistency and faith.
I utilized principles from Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Acupressure.
Visualization.
Movement.
Recovery.
Gratitude.
Faith.
And wearable wellness technology designed to support the body’s natural energy and performance.
Four Weeks. Two Days.
Four weeks and two days after fracturing my leg, I was walking again.
That experience changed me forever.
Not because I broke my leg.
But because it reminded me of something I had known all along.
The body is remarkable.
The mind is powerful.
Community matters.
Gratitude changes everything.
And healing is never just physical.
It is emotional.
Spiritual.
Relational.
And deeply personal.
What I Learned
One of the most powerful exercises I taught women for years was simple:
Victim or Designer?
Life doesn’t always give us control over what happens.
But we always have a choice about what happens next.
Instead of asking:
“Why is this happening to me?”
I began asking:
I AM HERE.
I NOTICE.
I SHIFT.
That became my roadmap.
And eventually, it became part of the foundation of everything I teach today.

It is a blueprint for women who are ready to stop surviving and start thriving.

Because true transformation is never just about health.
It’s about becoming the woman you were designed to be.
