For those of you who donā€™t know me (or think you know me) let me reintroduce myself. I hate crowds, I love traveling, all things spiritual, the ocean and deep one on one conversations. I never thought about being on tv. I wanted to be a sports agent like Jerry Maguire. But I always loved looking at houses with my parents especially model homes and I always wanted to be my own bossā€¦ So in college when I was called (intuitively) to get my real estate license at a local community college I followed my intuition. I got started in real estate at 21 which led to selling houses which led to flipping houses which led to Tv. Now while I never wanted to be on tv, stepping out of my comfort zone and into the unknown has always been my thing. I live in a state of anxiousness and Iā€™m so used to it that when itā€™s not there I tend to feel a void and hop into something that causes the feeling Iā€™m used to. This can be good and bad. And itā€™s one of the things Iā€™m working on breaking the pattern of. Sometimes anxiety and pursuit of new dreams leads me down amazing paths, other times it leaves me feeling lost and in a state of fight or flight / or crying in my closet. Tv changed my life and I am grateful for the life itā€™s provided, the experiences, the friends Iā€™ve made along the way. Sometimes our calling is bigger than our plans. I never thought I would have one divorce let alone two. I never thought I would have 2 baby daddies ā€“ but sometimes life throws us curve balls. Instead of getting stuck in these ā€œsetbacksā€ I choose to look at these challenges as opportunities to grow. So while some may judge me and throw around rumors about me, most of you support me. And that says a lot about this world and where we are headed. Iā€™m messy, Iā€™m real and Iā€™m working on healing. Iā€™m surrounded by extremely powerful women who help me cope, build me up and push me to be better. If youā€™ve DM me or text me ā€“ I havenā€™t written back because Iā€™m taking time to clear the ā€œnoiseā€ and focus on myself and the kids. I appreciate the support and I hope my story inspires you to not be so hard on yourself for the decisions / choices youā€™ve made. We are all a work in progress. āœØā™„ļø
