Origin: My husband and I married in 2010 and lived in Northern California. We worked with at-risk youth in the mental health field where we were trained in Nonviolent Crisis Intervention. We moved to Ohio in 2013 and I worked with individuals with developmental disabilities before landing in the nonprofit world working with children and families in Cincinnati, Oh. During that time I obtained my Bachelor's of Science from Cincinnati Christian University. I had aspirations to get my MSW to continue helping my community. I was a creative - an aspiring writer - with an intense love for helping people. We became parents in 2016 and I left my place of employment to stay home with my daughter. From 2016 on, I have been a stay at home parent for my own children, and for a few years - foster children too. We now have 4 beautiful daughters that I homeschool, ranging from 3 to 9 years of age. I became trained in Trust-Based Relationship Intervention, and did a deep dive into various parenting books and communities to help better understand the brains of my children and how to best support their growth through childhood. Over the years I have done some content creating both personally and for local businesses. I now clean airbnbs - though the dream is to own a few really cool ones one day. My husband is a Fire Lt. and owns a pressure washing business. We are tired of the rat race. A year ago we moved an hour away from the amazing community we’d spent over a decade building. The last year has been very difficult - from navigating financial difficulty to physical and mental health struggles. My home feels like it has fallen apart - clutter everywhere, inconsistent homeschooling routines - just mess and chaos. Desired Future State: A stable home I desire to live in with systems in place to help me live the life I want to live. Financial freedom - Debt free, travel, and plenty of quality time together as a family. Opportunities to help struggling families walk through times of crisis while providing hope and clarity for their futures. Obtain my MSW without going into crippling debt. Write as a creative outlet.
